I came across this forum some time ago. Back then, it was mainly about planning our narrow bathroom, which is now a thing of the past (a long story).
Now my husband and I are planning to buy a condominium. However, the apartment currently has only two rooms. Since the living room is huge at 40m² (430 sq ft), we would like to create a third room here.
I have already prepared two sketches for this:
First of all: simply putting up a wall from the entrance to the fireplace (there is a fireplace opening behind the column) is not an option, as the windows face south and we would lose too much natural light. The covered balcony with 25m² (270 sq ft) faces east.
Regarding option 1:
The room would be rectangular in shape. The sofa would be positioned as drawn freehand. However, the wall would not end parallel to the right hallway wall as shown but would stop earlier so that when looking from the hallway into the living room, the office wall would be visible. Concern with this option:
The distance between the sofa and the TV is very large.
Advantage: we keep a window area to the left of the office, where our dining table will fit.
Option 2:
This layout is a bit unusual but has the advantage that the TV is closer to the sofa. In the narrow section of the office, shelves could be placed.
Attached is also a picture of the floor plan.
In the bedroom, a drywall partition will be erected to create a walk-in closet or, later, to relocate the office there.
I am grateful for any suggestions or ideas.
