Hello everyone,
My windows and front door have now been measured (city villa), and the installer asked whether we are sure we want a sidelight next to the front door. He personally would widen the door slightly and omit the sidelight.
Here is the door as currently planned:
What do you think? Is the sidelight too small and would it look odd? Would a wider door be more comfortable and "nicer" here?
Best regards,

I would also keep the side strip. Why do you want to skip the canopy? Did I miss something? Was that mentioned somewhere?
The shell of the building is already in place. Don’t complicate it with things that can’t be changed later.
Otherwise, the hallway will definitely be very dark. You have enclosed rooms everywhere. I would consider installing a door with the largest possible window.
We faced almost the same dilemma; in our case, the space was even tighter (1310 mm (51.6 inches) rough opening). We decided to leave out the side panel, as it would have looked quite awkward, and instead integrated the glazing into the door (actually, we have two doors now): door width 1240 mm (48.8 inches), with frame extensions of 30 mm (1.2 inches) on each side.
The bathroom door should open outward. Emergency responders cannot enter if someone has collapsed inside.
The kitchen door would be better opening outward to prevent someone carrying a tray full of champagne glasses from having an accident.
The 1-meter (3.3 feet) wide living room door is tiny for the room size and feels unbalanced. You always have to go around the wall first if you want to go upstairs or come down from upstairs, which is odd.
