Hello everyone,
We are currently in the construction phase of our single-family home. We are actively gathering ideas to make daily life in the new house easier.
So far, we have:
- A laundry chute from the bathroom on the upper floor to the washing machine in the basement
- A platform for the washing machine to allow easy loading and unloading
- Pantry shelving with rotating trays
We have also considered:
- Building a small utility room behind the living room cabinet (sideboard) to house all the TV equipment (satellite box, DVD player, receiver, hard drive, etc.) out of sight
To illustrate, I’m attaching three photos.
Maybe some of you have a nice REALISTIC idea that could be implemented.
Thank you in advance for your ideas!
Best regards,
Slintrebla

I have some with an astro function (the control system with all the extras costs only €50 if you buy it yourself) and I am very satisfied. With this, apart from the occasional children’s nap time, I don’t have to do any work anymore.
@Mycraft:
The problems you can have in case of a malfunction are greater with automation. Because in addition to the devices you usually have, you also have the automation system. However, there is little that can break without automation that would cause many things in the whole house to stop working at once, at least I have many circuit breakers and RCDs installed.

Back to the topic of the thread:
The already mentioned sufficiently large roof overhang is great and can, depending on the design, keep the entrance area dry during rain.
Vanity units with cabinets under the sinks are very practical.
A well-organized utility room is important and makes loading, unloading, and rearranging easier. Plenty of shelves on free wall spaces and shelving above the washing machine and dryer for extra storage. We also have a crate rack for water crates, beer, and similar items, as well as a shoe rack for work shoes and various sneakers/football boots.
Recently, a zippered Ikea bag has been hung on a nail on our previously unused wall space next to the door. Inside it, we store the bathroom mats that are not currently in use.
Before, the mats either took up shelf space or were moved back and forth across the floor, often falling down.

In the utility room, we have adhesive hooks on several surfaces (including the heating unit), from which, among other things, a bag for plastic bags is hanging.
