Dear Forum,
I am looking for constructive and honest feedback.
What do you like about our floor plan, what doesn’t work at all, and why?
My “question areas”:
- Windows in the living room/on the couch side
- Experiences with bedroom/children’s room dimensions
The window arrangement in the children’s rooms will be adjusted again, using Child 2’s room as the starting point. The windows will essentially be swapped, meaning the bedroom window opposite the door and the window with a sill on the short side will be mirrored accordingly in Child 1’s room.
Thank you

The dimensions of the bathtub are probably standard size, right? At least the wall between the windows is 1.75m (5 ft 9 in), which doesn’t leave much space for a "large" bathtub.The bathtub will look out of place between the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s better to plan for a bathtub with surrounds or platforms that can serve as furniture for storage and, when tiled, create a smooth transition.Thank you all for your numerous comments.
I'll try to address everything step by step...
We actually considered the idea of having a storage space under the stairs. This wouldn’t make the utility room any bigger, but it would provide a second small storage option.
I’m a bit worried about the potentially "dark" hallway, but I’m hoping the large window by the stairs will still bring in enough light.
Changing the staircase is not really an option for us.
The bathroom windows are not arranged symmetrically, but that is rather unimportant for us since we are planning the house from the inside out.
We have an appointment at the design studio next week, since I’m still unsure about the arrangement of the fixtures and windows.
The windows are floor-to-ceiling because we like the look, but they are quite bold.
I was also thinking about possibly enlarging the bathtub to 1.80m (5 ft 11 in), do you think that would be enough?
Accordingly, the windows would be a bit narrower.
They are positioned to the right and left of the bathtub to avoid casting shadows on the mirror.
I’m interested in the option with “long, non-floor-to-ceiling windows”—could I see a picture of that?
Preferably a real-life example.
For the bathtub, I was also considering a semi-freestanding model. What do you think about that?
I’m bothered by the bulky look as well.
What do you think about the overall concept? I believe I can manage with a utility room that is a bit small and a bathroom that is a bit large.
Placing the utility room behind or next to the bathroom is an unusual but interesting approach. However, this would make it quite small, or am I misunderstanding something?
I can draw a site plan tomorrow if you like. What potential exactly are we looking for?

I would add a large window to the staircase, which would also benefit the hallway on the upper floor.
Windows in the bathroom are very limiting; I would reconsider this and opt for a completely different layout.
Regarding storage options: if you have hobbies, space can become tight.
I would miss the accessibility or openness of the kitchen. I would open the kitchen more towards the hallway and arrange the island across the room. There is enough space for that.

The bedroom is already a bit tight at 3m (10 feet) wide; it depends on the size of your bed. I also wonder why there is a need for a floor-to-ceiling window plus a second window in the bedroom. I know a case where, because of this, there was no other option for rearranging the bed. Their room was also rather narrow because the walk-in closet was planned too wide (wider than in this case).
For me, the bedroom door is too close to the kids’ room.
The bathroom is much too large; I would prefer to have the washer and dryer on the upper floor.
It all seems designed from the outside for symmetry (for the neighbors).

Personally, I would have switched the kitchen and the living area. This way, there is more activity and movement in the large room, and the sofa forms an L-shape for relaxing.
