ᐅ Ideas for Apartment Layout and Planning

Hello amateur architects :-)

I have a 70m² (750 sq ft) apartment that needs to be renovated.
The utility connections should preferably remain where they are.
It is a holiday apartment intended to accommodate 4-5 people at times.
The wardrobe can be removed if necessary.
The bathroom could be extended to the right into the bedroom according to the plan.
Looking forward to your input :-)

For a holiday apartment, the bathroom is sufficient; there’s no need for a luxury spa-style bathroom unless it’s in such an exclusive location that a stylish bathroom is standard.
I would leave it as is – it seems to already have a shower bathroom, although I can’t clearly tell from the original plan. Is the toilet separate? I might consider changing that because every wall takes up space, and the bathroom is already quite small.
The children’s room can fit a bunk bed and a wardrobe at most. In the master bedroom, there is room for a double bed – it will be too tight for an additional bed if a wardrobe is also needed. So, a sofa bed in the living area for the fifth person. More than that isn’t possible.
Instead of a cloakroom, you might consider adding an extra toilet if the apartment is to accommodate up to five people. Otherwise, this could cause bottlenecks. Plumbing connections should be available from the kitchen area.
For a cloakroom in a holiday apartment, a few hooks on the wall are sufficient.

The bathroom needs a complete renovation. I would like to create something stylish right away. The toilet could also be integrated into the bathroom, although this is usually not done in Austria ;-)

A sofa bed should go in the children’s room. Additional guests can sleep on the couch in the living room.

I’m mainly interested in the layout of the living and dining area.
Is it possible to create a cozy atmosphere here without it looking like a student flat?
What kitchen layout would fit best?
It might also be an option to remove the wardrobe and create a passage to the living/dining room, while closing the upper doorway to place a wardrobe there.

Where do you see problems? For a few days or even two weeks, that is completely sufficient.

Nice furniture makes a big difference. Lighting is important, and everything should be harmonious. In my opinion, the floor plan does not play a major role.

I’m not sure how to arrange the kitchen to still have enough space for a dining table.
I have several ideas here. Maybe someone can check if the dimensions will work...
The kitchen is currently set up as shown in the last drawing.
