Yes, the room is cut a bit awkwardly, a left hinge would have been optimal so you could have put the table in front of the left wing… oh well. I just thought that I could plan the pendant lamp right away, because it would be difficult to do it afterwards.

Who places a television right next to a large glass front that probably faces west or south? You end up looking straight into the sun for half the year or the blinds are constantly down...

I can reassure you that this is not a problem :) The sun is so high in the summer that it doesn't glare on us on the ground floor. We also planned blinds on the upper floor. Besides, we watch little TV in the summer! In the evening it doesn't matter anyway.

Exactly to prevent such mistakes, I am one of those in forums who has taken on floor plan design as a task. Next time with a house, you know: planning is done before construction begins.

If you look at the floor plan closely, you get the idea that a 4-meter sliding door is a bit too wide, especially when you plan a kitchen with a counter that has a protruding, seemingly planned partition wall at the entrance. This is all very thoughtlessly planned and now probably too late to discuss. Because it also concerns the furnishing of the balcony, which can appear very restless from the inside if no outer wall conceals the restless legs of chairs and table. However, it must be mentioned when furnishing or doing electrical planning. Because this is about minimizing frustration. How the small family arranges it should not be your task.

If it is 1:1 about your apartment, then you should state your facts and not mention possible changing tenants. Who knows what kind of table they have. Actually, you draw mental center lines and crosses. You also go from the central axis of the entrance or the middle post or the middle axis of a window. But all this is very shifted in your case. There are no straight alignments. This coat corner stands too far forward so that you couldn’t put a shelf there either because that would block the way into the room and access to the kitchen. Virtual partition walls should be forbidden. I would assume the 2.70 width between the window and the edge of the tall cabinet/wall and use that as orientation as well as the width of the sliding door.

I'll put it this way: I was a bit naive because I want to fully take over the house in 10-15 years and no longer want any tenants. The planning itself is not bad, but in some places not well thought out. However, I now have to make the best of it because it is a lifelong dream of mine, and I was a bit naive in the planning and trusted the expertise of the construction company. I simply started the 3D planning too late and didn’t sufficiently check the room plans. So the "dressing room" at 3.79x1.80 is not really practical. Currently we are only two people, and it is completely adequate. I should have asked for advice here earlier...

Now I have to make the best of it, the niche is enough for a guest wardrobe, and we’ll put the rest in our "dressing room." The layout already looks not bad. The floor plan above is 1:1 identical.
