Hello everyone,
I am currently setting up our granny flat. I am wondering where the dining table (for 4 people) can be placed without blocking the walkways to the kitchen and the path to the balcony. The large tilt-and-slide door has a stop on the right, so it opens to the left. A fireplace has been prepared in the niche next to the sofa, but it is not planned to be installed within the next five years.
From a planning perspective, we have already arranged the TV corner, as it seems to make the most sense in that spot in my opinion. However, I am open to suggestions here as well. Here is an initial draft created with the planner homebyme:
I haven’t really found a suitable position for the dining table that I’m fully happy with.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Let go of the idea that you have to get it perfectly right.

Forget the idea that you can get it perfectly right. No, I won’t get it perfect. We have a nice view of the garden, so the large sliding door was important to us. We’ll just get a table and then see where it fits best. For us, a large bathroom and a study room were priorities. With a bit more optimization, maybe more would have been possible, but this is how it is now.

You won’t find the exact position. Roughly, my own plan would be 1 meter (3 feet) from the window and 1 meter (3 feet) from the half-height wall of the kitchen.I agree with that, and if the tenants want the table somewhere else, then there will simply be a visible cable run or a power track on the ceiling. No problem.
