When I saw the kitchen, I had to look twice to see if it wasn’t a rendered image. But then the dishcloth gave it away. I might add a bit of color to the kitchen. How satisfied are you with the two-line kitchen layout?
In general, my wife is thrilled and wanted it exactly like that, open and so visible. I might slightly shift the entrance towards the entire living area or do something so that you don’t always have to look at the front door from the living area, or vice versa, so that when I come in, I don’t immediately look straight into the living area.
For us, it’s exactly the opposite. We have a similar layout on the ground floor. My wife was absolutely sure that she wanted the living-dining-cooking area separated. I was the one who was torn back and forth. But I also have to say that the situation you described always seemed somewhat uncomfortable to me in the model home parks and in the 3D design of my house. I once saw the staggered solution for the living-dining-cooking area, I think from Weiss-Haus, online and at least on paper I found it a nice compromise. But by then, everything was already more or less finalized for us.
Are there any other things, especially in the floor plan, that you like or that you would do differently afterward?
