Hello everyone,
My wife and I are almost finished planning the layout for our floor plan (Mediterranean city villa). We want the living area to be very open, meaning living room + dining area + kitchen arranged in a spacious L-shape. I have uploaded the proposed floor plan.
On the south side, we have planned three floor-to-ceiling double windows to bring in plenty of light and create a harmonious look from the outside. The distance from the window wall to the living room and fireplace wall is 4.80 meters (15.7 feet).
My concerns are the following. I cannot place a sofa directly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window if I want to decorate the windows with curtains, so the sofa will have to be set back quite a bit from the window. This means there won’t be as much space left between the sofa and the living room wall. We want everything to feel open and not too cramped, so there will be about 4 meters (13.1 feet) left from the back of the sofa to the living room wall.
How would you arrange the sofas or sectional sofas? Maybe in a completely different way?

I always wonder why people design floor-to-ceiling windows only to place the sofa in front of them.
A fireplace positioned in the corner between the kitchen and dining area also seems impractical, as the full heat affects the dining seats and you constantly have to walk around the fireplace.
I think placing the fireplace on the exterior wall at the top of the plan works best for the LIVING AREA.And what about the aesthetics???
