Layout Floor plan Multipurpose room Kitchen Living Dining

I always find these many views without a real floor plan drawing a bit confusing.

What exactly is so different about it compared to before?

The table position is again really in the passage area to the sleeping area. I would always attach the table to the bottom of the plan. That provides more space at the island and clearer walkways, especially if someone is sitting there.

Podium for the sofa, Max. can be as deep as the wall to the left of the balcony window and thus not significantly larger than the sofa. It’s a tripping hazard, and I don’t see better zoning in it either. I think you really have to see a room of this size yourself first, which is at the same time practically a hallway toward the sleeping area.

I completely agree with Kerstin about the dining table: it should be docked to the wall, otherwise it is always in the way. A podium is also not really suitable for a room of this size: separation can be done with a rug

After shouting about furniture on paper, I decided to put the kitchen on the left side of the plan against the wall. In front of it, a sink island so that the row doesn’t become too long and doesn’t protrude too far towards the bottom of the plan. Then I have space there for the table (either parallel to the bottom of the plan or perpendicular, as favored by some here).

Although the result looks roughly like what I had a few months ago, it is not the same for me. Through this thread, it became clearer to me how the room could look and also that I prefer an island instead of a long row. So, even if it seems a bit pointless, I’m glad you helped me! I really think it’s great that you just do that )

Now I can get started on the real kitchen planning

Hello! I’m bringing my thread back up again. I have another idea on how I can arrange the technology, storage space, and bathroom.
I would like to get your feedback on it because I have doubts about the already not very generous storage space. It’s mainly about space for a vacuum cleaner. I myself have no space problems since I will mostly live there alone and therefore have storage space like hay. It’s about the resale value; I don’t want to ruin the apartment with a fixed idea.

I am adding: a jpg of the original plan, a jpg of the idea to move the kitchen wall on the right side of the plan 60cm to the right. This way, that weird little tip above the CV (central heating, instant water heater) will disappear, and I gain 300 length x 60cm = 1.8m2 on the kitchen side and lose about 60x60 on the technology side.

Then there are two possibilities, depending on whether storage or bathroom space takes priority.

The project manager advises me to have more storage and has therefore planned a room of 126x90. The washing machine has to fit in there (it fits), and the rest could be equipped with a 30cm deep shelf. The bathroom, however, becomes quite tight. A 90x90 shower in the corner and a washing area 50 deep. The bathroom is then only 181 x 200. There will be only 40cm space left between the washbasin and the shower.

It’s different with the other solution. The storage next to the washing machine is reduced to about 75x90 (washing machine fits), the bathroom then becomes an L-shape with the foot of the L representing the shower.
I have sketched it on the existing plan with black lines. Not to scale, just a draft. Forgive the mess. Sending photos from the phone didn’t work.

In the L-bathroom, the washbasin line would go according to the plan on the right under the bathroom window, then 100cm space to the shower.

My question to you: what would be the most sensible solution: cutting storage space or cutting bathroom space? Personally, I would go for reducing storage space, but I’m trying to find a long-term good solution that does not ruin the resale value.

The advantage with both solutions is actually that the movement space by the washing machine is in the hallway and no longer part of the room. As far as I’m concerned, I find the idea of moving the long wall quite good.

What do you think? Have I overlooked something?

Due to your question about the shower size, here is my opinion on your intended living space enlargement: I see no advantages for your common room, rather only disadvantages for the bathroom and co. Relocating the toilet is still excessive in my opinion, too many confined wet rooms in the rear area.

What has actually happened with the apartment now? How has the open plan room been designed? And the bathroom. I am really curious!
