ᐅ How to modify a floor plan?

Hello everyone,

I already posted a floor plan in the building costs forum.
There was a comment that the children's rooms are too small.
Yesterday, I visited a show home for a quote and took a look at the rooms there.

I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by the size of the children's rooms, which were about 11 sqm (118 sq ft). So, hardly smaller than what we have planned. It’s hard to imagine the room size just from the paper.

Do you have any ideas on how to enlarge the three children's rooms on the upper floor without completely changing the entire floor plan?

Or if you have any other criticism or suggestions for improvement, feel free to share.

Best regards,
Steffen

A bathroom-laundry room combination within a bedroom wing, like a bridal suite. No further questions, Your Honor.

Yeah, you had to take that one—sorry, I’m literally rolling on the floor laughing right now.

Yes, I am still advocating for a laundry chute so that the bathroom doesn't get cluttered.

From a practical standpoint, it would of course make more sense to have the washing machine where the laundry is generated.
But stylistically, it's absolutely dreadful.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the previous speaker.

That’s why many plan the utility room on the upper floor.

Anyway: I usually just read "stay as is," "won’t be changed," "not desired."

Where there is no will, there is no way. That’s not a new insight.
To make fundamental changes, you also have to change other things.
Including your own way of thinking.

However, I find it odd that you are now blaming those who are engaging with you and your problem here for lack of ideas.

Since the staircase is relatively narrow and winding, you have to slide a ladder about 2.50 meters (8 feet) long up over the front part and its railing. But if this railing doesn’t exist due to the shower being built in, you eventually reach your limit when carrying it.

Best regards in brief

But if this railing doesn’t exist because it’s been built over due to the shower, eventually carrying it becomes a real challenge.

Ah, I see now, that makes sense. And the ladder is the least of the problems. There are extendable ones after all. But moving cabinets could become a real headache.

Hey, sorry, but everything from wrong priorities to “what terrible parents you must be” has been thrown around.

And yes, most people only joined in to argue about supposedly wrong priorities.

Yes, I have also been called a child-hater.
