Single-family house 150 sqm in Lower Saxony

That would work. Then possibly a window on the west wall for the evening sun.

we have 2 ugly, expensive couches facing each other, distance about 180-200, his one, mine one, when watching TV together we lie on the "our" couch. The room faces the street, to the garden there is a second living area.

referring to the OP's house, the TV would be on the left side wall of the office, one couch on the bottom wall, a second opposite it with a distance from the kitchen wall. Then you look right onto the garden, left into the tube.

and as for the space around the dining table, if one can afford a bigger house, everyone would enlarge the area.

You can also rotate the table.

It is not always a question of size. Paths can also be kept clear in small houses.

Not always do you just want to watch TV on the sofa. Sometimes you also want to sit and talk, and then a view of the garden is much nicer than a view of the dark wall with the dark TV.

But I think we are in the minority here. I perceive the mainstream attitude here to be that the TV shrine is the navel of the living room, and the viewing distance is practically the Earth's axis.

Do you really think so? I rather suspect that due to the spread of this solution in almost all prefabricated house floor plans – presumably to create an exterior view with great windows in small rooms – it has gradually become established without it really being intended.
