Variants for furnishing the all-purpose room

Does the door open to the conservatory without any problems? Or is it always in the way? It looks quite tight to me somehow, or will it be a sliding door?

People talk and rather look at each other.

I understand what you mean. That is exactly my point. At the table, people talk, but not with the cook, since half sit with their backs to her.
I think both table positions have advantages and disadvantages.

We would probably decide on the center of the table for a lamp outlet and then try both variants of the table positioning for a while before installing a pendant light.

You don’t actively talk to the cook either. No one shouts conversations across the room – except for a sentence here and there. And if you stand in the kitchen all the time, then you planned it wrong anyway. For short conversations, you can also turn a chair toward the kitchen... I really wouldn’t plan based on dinner parties – unless you hold them every weekend.

They will all be lift-and-slide doors. Between 2.50m and 3.00m wide.

Now we also have a conservatory which is directly adjacent to the kitchen. That means to get from the kitchen to the garden, I now always have to go through the conservatory. Not a big deal, but it should be different inside the house. That’s why: one door directly into the conservatory, another door directly into the garden.

If you care about it, in all three variants the TV is too far away from the seating position. Unless you are planning a 100-inch TV.

Otherwise, variant three is also my favorite.

Hm....now I also see the thing with the fireplace. Since we have less room depth, we have an external chimney, which takes up less space. If there is a bit more room width, that already helps. Ultimately, you might have to set it up at home once and try it out. For us, that often helps, we have already moved boxes or furniture a thousand times to imagine it. Many things can only be reasonably assessed when you experience them live, because everyone feels differently. All the points mentioned have their justification, now you can find out what suits you :D. In any case, I have chosen the option to arrange something differently again. I would also be cautious with the "skylights" at that point, because in my opinion they can cause a basement feeling, depending on the situation. We therefore left them out or glazed them generously. Where the sofa is, in my opinion, you don’t need a window or it can be disturbing, the view there would be enough for me. Wouldn’t a gas fireplace be an option for you? If we had a gas connection, that definitely would have been my choice, there are great options. Maybe it also makes sense to break away from the usual suspects in kitchen layout and arrange them differently, basically as an open kitchen with dining table, then a half-height or light, visual separation to the living room, which can then be smaller.
