Move exterior wall in floor plan?

I understand the point of furnishing. But we have left this out from the beginning because: 1. The things we take with us fit 2. What good is it to me if the furniture fits today, but in 4 months I want different ones, then I also have to arrange myself according to how the house is. Others may attach great importance to this, but we do not. You don't install an elevator just to be safe because it might be that you can't climb the stairs when you're old. Not meant to be rude, but everyone sees it differently.

Why not? For me, it's perfectly clear. Let's take a fictional large table. 1m wide x 4m long. The length doesn't matter. If the door is 2m and the table 1m wide, the table fits. Your thought will be the chair or the chairs on both sides. Usually, people don't sit chair to chair without a gap. If you sit exactly in front of the door and then on both sides, it will be tight. Right. But that won't be the rule. People then sit basically right next to it.

Sorry Thomas, but you are really sugar-coating things...

With a table of 1 m, with exactly centered alignment, you still have 50 cm space on the right and left. The wall where the sliding door runs will, roughly estimated, have at least a thickness of 25 - 30 cm. Then add a distance of at least 10 cm between the wall and the next chair, then you already have a half-meter gap between the people at the table.

Don’t you think that will look a bit weird and above all be somewhat impractical?

Even when the table and the unoccupied chairs are there, never mind a table with people sitting, you can't get through the sliding door anymore.

To set half of the table in the living room, you have to carry the dishes from the kitchen through the hallway and from there into the living room.

That's really not practical, is it?

, shouldn't the picture with the stair measurements from be pinned somewhere here?

By the way, our straight staircase is 4.01m long.

The stair picture is attached at the top of the forum in my pinned post.

I have very well understood that the furnishing does not correspond to yours. Nevertheless, for most architects it is a well-meant gesture when they furnish it. The reason is that later on one cannot say the room is not furnishable. Your task, however, is to check the measurements, as the furniture is often in miniature in the template. We are not reading architect plans for the first time, nor are common or uncommon measurements foreign words to us. That means: take an 80 x 80 kitchen table into your kitchen, and you will be happy. If you entertain guests at a reasonable table, you won’t be able to walk around the table (with the door closed). If you move a dining table into the living area, and not where the architect has drawn it, it can become tight. In addition, the side walls may possibly interfere a bit. Unfortunately, you cannot place a long table there. There are a few pieces of furniture drawn in the kitchen here: if you say you want it differently, then I ask you, how? The architect has drawn a small L-shaped kitchen unit and thus used up all the usable space. I don’t care how you want it, I’m just pointing out that, for example, a fridge and an oven in a tall cabinet have no space in this large kitchen because the room has about 5 meters of doors.

already said it: take paper and pen, and draw it out with your furniture in it. At the moment, a couch is directly in front of your terrace door, you will probably want to avoid that? But then you will have to place the TV furniture somewhere else. In my opinion, the partition wall to the kitchen does not fit in this plan right now. But you will only see that once you have furnished it. Also try with a 6-person dining table, that should fit, because that might be a rarity for you right now, but when the kids' birthdays come up, it can get tight. By the way, for one chair at the table, you should plan at least 70 cm depth to be able to move behind it. It can happen that someone wants to get up without the others having to leave their seats. The children’s room at the bottom right also seems very narrow to me: if you enforce your house narrowing, the desk has to be opposite the bed (for example), but then it will be tight, even though it currently says 16 sqm there. A normal staircase in a single-family home should have the dimensions of 19/26. Since this one is planned as closed?, not even a size 38 shoe fits on it. Edit: and replace the placeholder kitchen unit with a desired kitchen!

We first built the house and then bought the corresponding furniture. There are supposed to be furniture and kitchens in every size...
