Dear forum members,

For us, things are now gradually getting "serious."

The bathroom is nicely tidy, as is the kitchen.

Clearly arranged, without unnecessary corners or edges. Spaces that offer a lot of potential if you prefer a straightforward layout.

I don't find the floor plan that bad at all, and the living room isn't really too narrow either (it depends on the furniture, we have less than 3.5m (11.5 ft), more like 3.2m (10.5 ft), and that's enough for us).

If you maybe shorten the wardrobe a bit and move the staircase entrance closer to the main entrance, the whole space might feel a bit more open and better balanced in terms of length.

I would move the kitchen door toward the top of the plan and design it as a sliding door, so you don’t have to walk directly into the island.

Omit the fireplace wall and plan the fireplace as freestanding, positioned so that you can see over part of it. This makes the living room feel less narrow.
