What makes it especially good or bad in your opinion? Separation of master and children’s rooms. Large living and dining area. Large hallway.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are the children’s rooms too small? Is the bathroom too small if the master bedroom has its own entrance door?
we look forward to your feedback on the floor plan.

I also think the issue with the doors is somewhat underestimated, especially because of the 20cm (8 inches) display cabinet in the living room.
Additionally, I would reconsider the arrangement of the children’s room doors and the hallway size on the upper floor. I find a slightly smaller hallway in favor of larger children’s rooms more appealing. I would also align the doors differently so that wardrobes can be placed behind them, which would also serve as sound insulation against the bedrooms and bathroom. For the same reason, I would make the walls to the children’s rooms particularly thick or something similar.

Mottenhausen18 Oct 2018 11:10Narrow doors can be a problem, especially when moving furniture. It’s not an issue as long as you only need to carry Ikea particleboard pieces through, but some people may develop a desire for solid wood furniture as they get older. If the dresser doesn’t fit through the door and the window can’t be accessed with a lift... it can be frustrating. The only room where I consider a narrow door acceptable is guest (shower) toilets, since there is never a need to move furniture or large bathtubs in there.
The rough opening dimensions for interior doors are typically 87.5 cm (approximately 35 inches) for living spaces, increasingly 100 cm (about 39 inches) to accommodate walkers, 75 cm (around 30 inches) for bathrooms, and occasionally 62.5 cm (about 25 inches) for storage rooms or guest toilets (intended for non-overnight visitors). When considering the actual passage width (the frame, with the door removed or fully open), you can deduct roughly 7 cm (about 3 inches); if the door only opens to 90°, a deduction of around 10 cm (about 4 inches) is reasonable.
