Good morning!
The floor plan of our house is basically finalized, and now we are looking for useful and practical ideas that we could still incorporate into the layout. So far, we have planned, for example:
- a laundry chute in the bathroom on the upper floor to transport laundry directly to the utility room
- wall recesses as storage space behind the washbasins and toilets, as well as in the showers
- a niche in the hallway for coat storage and a shoe rack
Do you have any other practical ideas that we could or should consider?
Many thanks in advance for your tips!
Best regards, Timo

Do you want to answer the OP’s question or just comment on my posts again?A suggestion to keep in mind when giving recommendations. So the OP doesn’t plan something that later doesn’t fit their habits.To the OP: We love, for example, our small pantry. Although it is just over 1 square meter (about 11 square feet), it has shelves on three sides. That is very clear and much better than a cabinet.

motorradsilke6 Jun 2022 17:26One more thing I just thought of:
We have a secondary entrance door from the utility room leading to (not into) the garage, shed, driveway, and rear garden area. When we are at home, we use this door more than the main entrance. I wouldn’t want to be without it. Of course, this depends on the floor plan and overall design.
Something else I find important is having a workspace for folding clothes. I used to have to do this on the bed, which wasn’t very back-friendly. Now I have plenty of space on the washer and dryer, which stand side by side. If you want to raise them, I would create a work surface nearby.
Also, in the utility room, it’s useful to have a place to hang dripping wet items.

I fold laundry on a pull-out shelf in the wardrobe—I would have liked to have the washer and dryer on the first floor as well, but that didn’t fit.
We also have a shelf above the sink, and yes, if we didn’t have a medicine cabinet with a mirror above it, I would find a regular wall mirror too far away to comfortably use.
As for the other niches... I’m also missing the floor plan.
