Hello everyone,
often it’s the small details that ultimately have a big impact on the quality of life and are easily overlooked during the planning phase. What small details should definitely be considered when planning?
For example, a towel radiator for the bathroom—is it practical or not?
Or a central switch for the electric shutters—is that useful or unnecessary?
Should conduits for the air conditioning system be included in the plans from the start or not?
I’m sure you have many more ideas that homeowners should think about already during the planning stage.
Best regards

What about those rimless toilets? Are they really worth it?
Is a security alarm system useful? What are the opinions of those who have one?
By small things, I meant items that cost more around three- or at most low four-digit amounts. In my view, a double garage with a storage room and rooftop terrace is not a small matter but rather a significant modification.

We have a rimless toilet, which I would recommend if you like one. Another tip: place the switch for the mirror light near the door or somewhere convenient.
Conduits from the roof down to the basement for photovoltaic are installed in our house as well.
A tip for the kitchen: deep countertops along the walls—we have 75 cm (30 inches)—plus extra-deep drawers with a usable depth of 70 cm (28 inches).
Underfloor heating in the basement (hallway in the lower ground floor) is also great; when you turn it on, the entire stairwell including the hallways on the ground and upper floors get warm.

Yes, when it comes to small details: I have the impression with many front doors that the lock cylinder could have been installed about one centimeter (0.4 inches) further away from the frame. This usually just means ordering the mortise lock in a custom size and costs only a little more.
What I also find practical and inexpensive are fixed panes installed at plant-pot height under the casement windows on some windows.

If the house can be large enough, I would always plan to place the washing machine where the laundry is generated, usually on the upper floor.

I would design it as a multi-compartment chute, so that laundry types can be sorted right at the source.

I personally find rimless toilets excellent (hygiene), but if they don't fit into the budget and it means making compromises in other areas (which are not so easy to change later), I would initially do without them. They can still be retrofitted later without too much effort!
