And the other question... have you made any changes to the floor plans? We have kept the floor plans as they are for now. Since there were so many opinions, we are now unsure how to proceed....
I don’t think it’s bad at all; I would personally change a few things, but that’s a matter of taste (for example, having either the kitchen or the living room as a separate room). I like the utility room next to the kitchen, we’ll do something similar (aka pantry). The multipurpose room on the ground floor is something you can discuss. We’re planning something similar as a guest room/office. To be honest, I don’t think a urinal in the guest toilet is a bad idea either.
Upstairs, I would reduce the size of the bedroom; in my opinion, it’s a bit over the top. You might also consider if 12sqm (130 sq ft) would be enough for the bathroom. I’m not a fan of bathtubs that extend into the room, but again, that’s a matter of taste. However, I would definitely include a second bathroom upstairs. You can easily take space from the bedroom for that, since it doesn’t need to be 8sqm (86 sq ft) for the kids to get ready in the morning. Clothes you no longer store in the wardrobe can also be kept in the basement or attic, to be honest, many items are only needed once or twice a year, but the clutter in the bathroom you deal with every morning.
For the basement, I would plan a separate entrance, with stairs going down. This way you don’t have to carry everything through the house when loading or unloading (thinking about garden tools, for example). Otherwise: a laundry chute from the upper floor to the laundry room is very high on our wish list...
