Hi, attached is a floor plan for a townhouse (142sqm (1,527 sq ft)).
What can be improved here? How can the upper floor be optimized in relation to Child 2’s room?
All windows on the upper floor are floor-to-ceiling and located in the same positions as on the ground floor.
On the ground floor, for example, I would create an opening from the kitchen to the hallway opposite the floor-to-ceiling window.
1. This would save having to go through the living room.
2. It would allow natural light into the hallway through that window.
Additionally, I might consider moving the fireplace closer to the living room.
- This would make the walk-in closet more usable; it would probably not disturb Child 1’s room.
Regarding Child 2’s room, the only idea I have is to incorporate the hallway space. Child 2 would then have the wide floor-to-ceiling window, but the hallway would lose its window entirely...
I’m really at a loss here.

This is definitely a matter of personal taste. Let’s see what the original poster decides.
For example, I find it uncomfortable to lie in bed without a visible door. It feels like being locked in. I also don’t like the idea of a child crawling to the parents’ room at night and having to walk through a spooky maze of floor-to-ceiling dark wardrobes filled with clothes. People are so different. For example, I don’t want to see a door because I find it unpleasant—neither in the bedroom nor in the living room.
If a child suddenly bursts into the bedroom and throws the door open next to my bed, I would personally be scared out of my wits :P

There are now just under 120cm (47 inches) between the island and the refrigerator. In my opinion, the doors are 45cm (18 inches) and 35cm (14 inches). I find that marginal.Is a refrigerator really only 60cm (24 inches) wide?!
