Hello dear forum members,
I have purchased an apartment from a developer. The basic floor plan is already fixed, meaning the exterior layout is set. Only after some time did I realize that the proposed floor plan is difficult to furnish. It is an open-plan space with kitchen, living, and dining areas measuring about 600 x 600 cm (236 x 236 inches). I am attaching a plan. This is the sales plan. I will probably only receive a fully dimensioned plan by the end of August.
The apartment will be completed in the third quarter of 2018, so there is still time to make some adjustments. But how? I am tearing my hair out because I have been stuck focusing on the problems and unfortunately have no new ideas. I hope you can give me a helpful nudge in a different direction.
To furnish are:
- Kitchen for 1 to 2 people
- One dining table 150 x 80 cm (59 x 31 inches) with 4 chairs
- One two-seater sofa (160 cm long (63 inches))
- One lowboard (120 cm long (47 inches))
- One highboard (100 cm long (39 inches))
- One display cabinet (90 cm long (35 inches), 110 cm high (43 inches))
- One armchair for a reading corner
All furniture except the sofa is flexible and can, if necessary, be moved to the adjacent room. The kitchen and dining table are also essential.
Also fixed are the service shaft (the diagonal black-and-white square) and, in the worst case, the WC, though I still need to confirm that.
I hope someone can give me a fresh perspective. I already asked a question in the kitchen planning forum next door, but I think it was too early for me. I couldn’t really engage much. Now it’s different, and I’m hoping for the collective intelligence here.

Bertram10026 Oct 2019 22:47Take a look here:
The kitchen ended up as a two-line layout from Ikea. I really like it that way.
I also left the bathroom as shown in the floor plan. There is a shower measuring 90cm x 180cm (35in x 71in) and bright orange tiles. (All the women who have seen it so far liked it, but all the men think it’s rather ugly.)
For professional reasons, I need more space in the house, so I bought a house in shell condition. Now the planning starts again from scratch.
Here are some professional photos taken in preparation for selling the apartment. It doesn’t look quite this bright in reality.

Great apartment...
... I’m also someone who photographs real estate for marketing purposes. I know what you mean by “bright.”

Bertram10026 Oct 2019 23:38Thank you! It’s great to hear that you like it. As a real estate photographer, you must have seen at least thousands of apartments like this. I’m really selling with a heavy heart. You won’t find this much natural light anywhere else. The kitchen is very practical, and the bedrooms are a decent size. I would choose the same apartment again.
Now I hope that with good planning I can create such a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere in my house again. I’m counting on the forum’s combined experience.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help. I’m slowly getting the hang of it, but conceptual spatial thinking really isn’t my strong suit.
