The formation of "tubes".
The mentioned dining area: a space 3.20 meters wide is not a tube. Especially not when right there a wide window opens the room into the garden.
The mentioned hallway: turn the staircase and put a nice chest of drawers under the stairs.
Opposite: the wall with a floor-to-ceiling, one-meter-wide mirror or an eye-level mirror placed horizontally that goes from wall to wall.
I can hardly believe what’s going on here. Most worries are actually ridiculous and exaggerated.
You also have to be able to filter and weigh things… exactly… set priorities and not attribute the same severity to every little whim here.
These narrow spots simply arise because you want to build compactly on 9x10.
I already said weeks ago that some things would ease if you moved more into a rectangle. But you decided against it, so live with the narrow spots and get a grip. Every one of us does. During your whole planning time, some people have moved into their houses here again and certainly don’t think about their houses’ drawbacks.
Several semi-detached houses have been occupied by us recently: maybe some have one or another slant too much, too dark, too little storage space — but now they are all in, hang up mirrors or have accentuated one or another wall. They are happy and will be able to live very well with a corner that is just a meter.
I have been thinking all along that you must be someone who often makes a knot in their head and is unable to untie this knot by themselves, although it is so simple.
I’m glad that said it.
That raises the question: which ALL?
Honestly: who has endured the whole mishmash now? Your flairs, without a floor plan featuring properly sized furniture or measurements, really interest no one here in the thread except you.
’s point system with the criteria from #218, by the way, doesn’t appeal much to me.
There must be light, there must be space, the kitchen must be x meters long, storage space for x, y, and z, 2 x at least 3 meters of closet space, TV chill lounge and dining area for 6. 2 children’s rooms, office, bathroom, etc... all that has priority 10. period.
Whether the TV spot has 3 or 3.50 meters... try it out and tick it off.
If there is a problem: think about how to mitigate or even avoid it.
Honestly, I can see neither growth of a design here, nor problem solving.
You do not define yourself here. You say, “yes, interesting.” Or “Thanks for the effort, but”… you don’t commit and say “yes, now it is optimal” or “can we redo this part” or “I prefer it if … were like this.”
Katja or I have absolutely no desire to continue like this. There are no starting points from you to build on. And thus you will also remain stuck with 9 x 10 without any idea and therefore pull every floor plan from the internet — without really knowing what you want — except 9 x 10, that you know. It all seems so depressing to me, which is very unfortunate.
