I would still sacrifice about 50cm of the living room and move it along with the stairs downward on the plan. That would also be good for the utility room. It should be doable on the upper floor without major losses of coziness.
We had considered that, but it is not important to us. Quite the opposite: we made the living room exactly 50cm larger than in our first plan, because otherwise the space wasn’t enough for us. The utility room goes under the stairs; the 50cm is still available there.
Just asking by the way, but you can’t look under the stairs now, right? Or can you? I miss the privacy here, because only dust bunnies would nest there if it stays open.
The stairs are closed off from the living room side. Only a wooden shelf for the fireplace will go in there.
Well, you can certainly pursue the standard of getting into a tub without injury. [...] The same issue applies to the tub. You have to get in sometimes, even if you have sciatica. Or in old age: a grab bar is often retrofitted for getting in. Or a small step helps children get in. Or quite classically: a parent has to be there when bathing the children. How should you hold the child from the short side here?
Honestly, I can’t quite follow you now, the long side of the tub is open after all. Especially in the first bath proposal with the tub next to the shower, the tub is very accessible.
So this is not a matter of run-of-the-mill (are you sure you know my dozens of drafts? Someone just recently doubted our creativity here ) Funny to criticize someone as run-of-the-mill who revealed your bedroom
Please be careful, I have never criticized anyone here as run-of-the-mill. I only said that work can become boring if you always do the same run-of-the-mill tasks. But that applies to every job and was not aimed at the working method and/or approach of any individual persons. And for the bedroom and the previous comments I have also thanked several times.
Also placing a washbasin so that you stand with your back to the door is not to everyone’s liking.
THAT, for example, I COULDN’T CARE LESS about Just personal preferences.
