For the hallway, kitchen, utility room, and bathroom, we need to choose floor and wall tiles. For the floor, we have our eye on a tile that looks like raw, rusty shipbuilding steel with a dirty effect. It looks great when lit up in the store. Now we’re having doubts. Our entrance, kitchen, and utility room face north. The windows face north. The hallway only gets daylight through the glass in the front door. Won’t the tile make it too dark? Or are we just lacking confidence? Please share your thoughts.
But then it gets dark in the hallway.
My second photo (the long hallway) is only "bright" because the ceiling light is on.
So my tip: plan for doors with glass, including interior doors, and/or wall outlets for LED lighting in the hallway 🙂
Off topic: who contributed to this design?
Reasonable cloakroom space is hardly available, garage is half a mile from the main/side entrance, bathroom door swings the wrong way, stairs have a tripping hazard on the first step, living room is difficult to furnish (TV conflicts with dining table, zoning is missing), bathroom door is very narrow...

Thank you, the issue with artificial lighting is clear. That’s just how it is.
The plan is a complete collaboration between us and the contractor. Garage... well, it will probably be more of my workshop/garden shed. Since when do people keep cars in there? They’re not really made for that.
Almost all doors are 98 cm (39 inches) wide. Except for the guest bathroom, the door swing doesn’t really matter. Just use your left hand and open it. As for the wardrobe, well, sacrifices have to be made. Under the stairs... everything really fits in the living room. Our current one is no different — it has a round sofa, table, IKEA Billy shelving, and TV as well. I see no problem with that. Especially since 99% of the time we eat in the kitchen, which has a table. There are just the two of us. The children are grown up.
