Hello everyone,
We have been planning our house for some time now and I urgently need honest, constructive opinions since all my close contacts tend to hold back criticism, which I find very unfortunate...
Please just share what you think, I look forward to your feedback very much.
Attached is our plan; however, we are still considering extending the rear of our house by 1 m (3 ft 3 in) toward the terrace. This would allow us to add 0.5 m (20 in) to our living/dining area and shift the remaining 0.5 m (20 in) to move the staircase 0.5 m (20 in) toward the terrace as well, thus giving the upper floor bathroom and master bedroom an extra 0.5 m (20 in) of space across the entire width...
Many, many thanks in advance...
What would you change, why and how?
Does our planned living concept work as it appears on the plan for someone with more expertise?

What should be included in the budget?
The garage is too narrow. A slim driver can barely open the door. It’s not possible to buckle in children there. A carport might be a better option.
Draw all the furniture to scale, including clearance space for movement.
The entrance/hallway/toilet area needs to be redesigned. It feels cramped due to the cramped toilet placement.
The upper floor is okay. Maybe swap the rooms and give the bedroom the north/west-facing room.
I would consider adding a small extra room. There is a need for a storage/ironing/gaming/quiet space often called an office. You watch football, your partner makes phone calls, and one of you has to go to the bedroom or you’ll disturb each other.

I’m not satisfied with the space for the kitchen. Square kitchen areas are usually very difficult to furnish. I also think the space is wasted because there is additional empty space towards the dining table.
Unfortunately, I can’t think of a solution offhand without completely reworking the entire floor plan.

On the ground floor, living/dining/kitchen area is glaringly empty, with just a table and a sofa.
The kitchen width is acceptable, but it is far too deep at just under 6 m (20 feet). I would plan a pantry across the bottom of the plan. The children’s rooms are too large; a smaller room upstairs could serve as an office, ironing area, or separate TV room. There is no privacy on the ground floor.
It is not pleasant to enter the living area and face a blank wall.

open kitchen, kitchen island open without island but in a U-shape

You can forget about the door from the garage to the utility room because if you drive the car in there, it will block it immediately.
Is the balcony or roof terrace actually used, or is it like many others just a nice addition without real use because people prefer being in the garden?
The wardrobe is small.
Personally, I would miss an extra room for an office, hobby, sports, etc.
Will there be an attic space?
Furnish the living area and kitchen properly with furniture.
