nope. Children can only do that from the age of 4 for short periods. It has to do with attachment and brain development.

I would still like to know which variant you meant?
My comment only referred to the fact that the width of the bedroom is 3.50m in both sketches.

I have to be honest: I think it is the wrong approach to focus so intensely on just one room, where it apparently only concerns a few centimeters for you, while the rest is neglected. Now you have worked out every centimeter of the open space and bedroom, and what about the rest of the house? I mean: you are concentrating on a rectangular room as if it were Berlin Airport. Have you ever considered why the utility room is so huge? Storage space is all well and good, but a utility room of this size just seems superfluous. The usefulness doesn’t increase with the square meters, as the wall areas don’t grow proportionally. The same goes for the walk-in closet: it looks like a leftover piece, just crammed with wardrobes and labeled as a walk-in closet. Bedroom: we only have a 160 cm bed too, but children couldn’t come cuddle either. I don’t know any parents who wouldn’t like to have more than their 2 meters... Kitchen: the door opens and blocks the way to the kitchen. If I want to go from the kitchen onto the terrace, the island gets in the way. Stairs: dark. The open space doesn’t matter here either. The stairs remain dark. And what I often notice when laypeople design their little houses: guest toilet without a window, wardrobe “closet/niche” but next to it with a window. It’s obvious to swap these two positions. Bathroom: I don’t know what kind of front yard or street there is, but maybe the window should be planned on the other side. Open space: do you have so much space up there that you simply plan a 6-meter-high entrance hall here, which then ends with a small room door to the open space? How wide is the hallway? 2 meters? Do you have any idea how that looks? Or is there a flat gable roof upstairs?

Hi ypg,

Thanks for the feedback.

I did say we haven’t finished planning yet.

Regarding your points:

Utility room: it is definitely not too big! The L-shape around the stairs also makes wall space very usable. So many things have to fit in there. Besides all the usual technology, there’s washing machine, dryer, drying rack, freezer, drinks, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, and so on and so forth.

Dressing room: I understand the impression you got from the sketch. We have already planned the dressing room furnished with Pax cabinets including a dresser in the middle. A place to put the laundry basket, fold clothes, etc.

Kitchen: absolutely valid point regarding the door and the island. If we implement the larger open-plan living area, the island will not be in line (blocking the way). On the contrary: the hallway walkway continues into the walkway between island and table. Whether the door to the open area stays one meter wide or becomes wider is still open.

Guest toilet / wardrobe: I really had to laugh at this one. Do you know why? Of course, we also planned it the other way around once. But: currently, the “dirty” area of the wardrobe is directly at the front door, and you wouldn’t have to cross it to get from the open living area to the guest toilet.

Bed width: OK, I get it: be prepared for a big bed. The wall to the dressing room can be shifted downwards on the plan so that a larger bed fits.

Open space above / stairs: a pitched roof with a 95 cm knee wall is planned. So the “entrance hall” wouldn’t look that huge. The hallway would be 2.50 m wide. A landing staircase is very comfortable to walk on, just regular steps. Upstairs in the gallery there is a roof window planned to illuminate the stairway and hallway on the upper floor.

Best regards

Be generally prepared for other furniture as well ;)
You can build your house however you want.
But again: in my eyes, there is still so much that is not quite right and everything is still included! Movable!
Why do you plan to accommodate everything in one room? Technology, white laundry, decorations, tools, and paint cans. Wouldn't it be wiser to distribute the space between the ground floor and the upper floor?
Look, if you enter the list from in the search... but you know that yourself.
Even if you have already filled the walls with Pax: I don't find the dressing room attractive. But whatever..., it was just advice!
Sometimes you also want new furniture, that's why I would simply plan, for example, 4 meters width in the living room and not 3 or so, like your sofa is... sometimes you might also want to place it sideways...

There is no more space for tools there, those go in the garage :p
There is a second utility room area on the upper floor. A second meter cabinet will probably be installed there. Possibly the controlled residential ventilation can also go upstairs.
I stand by this: if you want to do laundry in your utility room, then the size is just about right. You talk about planning mistakes. Personally, I find nothing worse than 20 sqm of empty dance space in the all-purpose room, but not even a second fridge fits in the utility room. I think such things are planned impractically for real life.
