ᐅ Optimal Placement of Dining Table in Living/Dining Area

Hello everyone,

I am currently setting up our granny flat. I am wondering where the dining table (for 4 people) can be placed without blocking the walkways to the kitchen and the path to the balcony. The large tilt-and-slide door has a stop on the right, so it opens to the left. A fireplace has been prepared in the niche next to the sofa, but it is not planned to be installed within the next five years.

From a planning perspective, we have already arranged the TV corner, as it seems to make the most sense in that spot in my opinion. However, I am open to suggestions here as well. Here is an initial draft created with the planner homebyme:

I haven’t really found a suitable position for the dining table that I’m fully happy with.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Who is going to live in the granny flat / secondary apartment?

A family with a toddler (3 persons).

Then let the family plan it themselves.
I also wouldn’t just consider placing a table of an unknown size on a piece of paper (in your picture, there is a table for six people – the search is for four people). I do that in real life.

My main concern is:
We want to design a table with a hanging lamp, so we need to plan the electrical connections in advance to ensure the lamp is positioned correctly. We have the same floor plan twice (ground floor/upper floor), we will move in downstairs and are facing the mentioned problem.

YOU won't find THE exact position. My rough plan would be 1 meter (3 feet) from the window and 1 meter (3 feet) from the half-height kitchen wall.
