Hello everyone,
we are now in the final phase of our planning, and the sample selection appointment is scheduled for the end of the month.
At the moment, we are deciding on door swings, possible ceiling spotlights, etc.
We are wondering if the door between the hallway and the living/dining area might be inconvenient since, regardless of a right- or left-hand swing, you have to walk around it. Or is it actually not a problem? I usually know it as having a wall right next to the hinge side or being completely open without a door. The plan is to install a door with a glass panel to prevent noise from the living area from reaching the hallway downstairs and thus also upstairs.
The floor plan is no longer completely up-to-date on the kitchen side. The island has been changed to a peninsula that is set directly against the wall. The room is 4 meters (13 feet) wide and the peninsula is 2.5 meters (8 feet) long, leaving a passage of 1.5 meters (5 feet).
How would you light the kitchen? From our previous plan with a ceiling-mounted extractor fan, the idea is still to lower the ceiling slightly directly above the peninsula and install six recessed spotlights there. In addition, there are four lights to illuminate the row with the sink and so on. Is that sufficient?

When should it make a noise if the kitchen/living room door opens outward and it’s a glass door where you can clearly see that the storage room door is open? However, the door can stand open in the hallway without causing any obstruction.
If the storage room is frequently accessed from the kitchen, I would recommend a left-hand door swing there.
