Very often one finds out exactly what they like about the picture and can determine that this aspect can be realized in a different and budget-appropriate way.
A pity for those who miss this opportunity.
but life consists of more than just fulfilling "functioning".
Hmm, I often find this approach restrictive and difficult to implement. For example, you might want this podium staircase at all costs, but you also find a closet niche like on Pinterest, Pax and Metod great. Then you absolutely want a niche access to a pantry or whatever, and suddenly, one thing is not compatible with the other – at least not in the house size you envision financially.
I often find it easier, at least when it comes to budget-conscious homebuilding, to look at the wall that results between the front door and the staircase and consider how to implement the purpose with (proven) items.
The best example is the T-solution in the bathroom: I often read in another forum: "I have this bathroom: how can I incorporate a T-solution here? I really want it." The lack of insight that the layout is totally wrong for the room, that roof slopes might be disruptive anyway, that the entire space is ruined by two more walls, resulting only in corridors, is missing, and people get dissatisfied because they have collected three glossy brochure cutouts. They then become blind to any other great possibility to design the bathroom.
But this also applies to the window seat, the mega large kitchen island, the hidden pantry behind the kitchen cabinet, and so on.
Often, one just becomes blind to other beautiful possibilities that the house – yes – dictates. That doesn’t matter.
