Hello!
Good day everyone. I’m new to the forum and would like to get straight to the point.
I would like to present a floor plan for discussion.
It is the first upper floor, designed to accommodate a family of four.
The exterior walls are fixed, as is the size of the balcony.
Also fixed are the position of the staircase and the two load-bearing walls.
What can be improved to gain more space and storage, and possibly create a walk-in closet for the bedroom?
The external dimensions of the building are exactly 15 m by 10 m (49 feet by 33 feet).

Ok, I understand... I’ll try to draw it out.
But the wardrobe in the bedroom won’t work there. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have access to the balcony.What is more important? South-facing windows in the bedroom overlooking the balcony, or having adequate wardrobe space?
I made some adjustments again. The wall next to the bedroom remains. The terrace access has been removed, replaced by a window on the left side of the west wall.
The bathroom is now quite small: 90 cm (35 inches) for the shower, 85 cm (33 inches) for the toilet, 80 cm (31 inches) for the washbasin.
On the other hand, there is now one 200 cm (79 inches) and one 150 cm (59 inches) wardrobe that can be used well. The bed is positioned with the headboard towards the bottom of the plan, separated from the "dressing area" by a 160 cm (63 inches) wall. For a bed with a 180 cm (71 inches) mattress width—so at least 185 cm (73 inches) bed width—there will be about 65 cm (26 inches) of space on each side. Since no wardrobes or similar furniture need to be accessed in those narrow spaces, this should just work. It might be better to shift the wall about 20 cm (8 inches) further to the right.
In the hallway, there is initially 170 cm (67 inches) of storage space for all jackets, shoes, etc. (dark orange). Around the corner, approximately 40 cm (16 inches) deep, there is a wall-mounted coat rack for currently used jackets. The hallway ends with a small storage room. There is space for a washing machine as well as for a vacuum cleaner and other items. A small pantry shelf should also fit. The water connection should ideally be placed in combination with the sink unit so that it can also supply the kitchen below.
The sofa now measures 250 x 90 cm (98 x 35 inches), plus an armchair. I would suggest using small side tables instead.
The TV stand continues from the kitchen units. With matching decor, this could possibly be chosen from the same series, making the look more uniform.
The kitchen itself features a half-island with the sink and a cooking area. Above the stairs, there are base cabinets with reduced depth. This corner can be especially useful for placing various machines and equipment.
