Personally (in the rental apartment): I miss little flowers on the windowsill (Yes, you can also place or hang something next to or in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, but it's different or embedded differently). In the office, we probably would have furnished differently with "normal" windows than with the floor-to-ceiling one (placing the desk sideways in front of the window is a bit strange with floor-to-ceiling windows). In the bedroom, we currently partly just placed something in front (or not in front of the actual floor-to-ceiling part, but that's split and one side has a fixed lower part) and we don't get anything from the glass area there. Otherwise, the fall protection at our place also already takes quite a bit of light (but there are various options). Overall, my impression is that someone with a knack for design and stuff can surely integrate it better into the room and so on... for my husband and me, who are rather unskilled in such matters, it turned out to be somewhat difficult... That said, we will have them again in the house (because it's a townhouse and there's no choice) and that wasn't a criterion that was decisive for us. In a free design, I would have done without them.

the upper room is a children's room and the other two also have floor-to-ceiling windows which is why I thought it would be fair to give one to the child as well. Actually, the floor-to-ceiling window was in the office on the ground floor and my husband didn't want one there. My son wanted it, my husband didn't, and that's how it came about :D I'll see how it will be in everyday life then, I'm not quite there yet
there will probably be more things about the house that will bother me

They just bother me upstairs, you can look out but just as much look in. Also, it takes up space when placing the desk etc. In summer, the roller shutter has to be completely closed, so you don't get anything out of it.

we have a floor-to-ceiling window and a window with a window sill. My sister always said, please don't do floor-to-ceiling ones. In hindsight, I think it didn't have to be on the street side. But it doesn't bother me as much as the parent bathroom window, so I won't have it removed… On Monday, the window sills were installed as well.

because people can look at your bare bottom from outside.
Do yourself a favor and don’t jump on everything others think. If I had to afford what others think, I’d have to invest 100,000€ more into my house.

You let yourself be influenced too much. At first you or you both decide yourselves, then your sister comes along, says something else, and you become unhappy.


Now you start reading here in the forum and see only mistakes in your decisions. But that’s not true.
Of course there are rules, but you don’t have to stick to them. Your small bathroom window has the purpose that people on the street don’t immediately see everything from you while showering. It’s the perfect window for a Christmas star light or a little lamp. Turn the tables and enjoy this special window that makes the house unique. Or paint the window dark red on the outside so it looks special to others as well.





You are not at the end yet. The end of the house building is when you have your beautiful flooring installed, painted the walls nicely, and furnished cozy. You have room for your three children and will be able to laugh a lot in the house.

See it as one of the few who can build a house.

Why? Right now you are putting the most pressure on yourself, possibly comparing houses here in the forum that are built twice as expensive on plots twice as large. Then there are the countless forum members who see expensive extras everywhere as a must and thus, without reading into the discussed house building, come and consider a house without this or that frill worthless.
Focus on the interior design, make the kids’ rooms nice, choose a nice kitchen. Buy accessories in your favorite color for the living room and browse for a stylish dining room lamp that lights up your heart.

everything you say is true.. I’m easily influenced and that is also extremely exhausting. I also knew that the construction phase would be very difficult for me because you have to make so many decisions and then I doubt everything afterwards. Right now everything is just about the construction… I hope that will settle down. I will try to turn the tables as you say. And on the waist-high window on the street side I will stick a mirror film ;)
