ᐅ What features did you include in your house, and what did you decide to leave out?

Hello,

When planning and building a house, you focus on the essentials and the budget. Some wishes get dropped along the way. But certain small luxuries or nice features are important to you, even if they are not strictly necessary, and you end up including them anyway.

For us, a heated conservatory was an unattainable dream. However, we treated ourselves to tiled, walk-in showers, even though they take up more space.

I would love to hear what you have given up and what you managed to include.

Best regards
A

For the same reason, we chose the Novy Cloud. We're already really curious...

I'm looking forward to your report!
In the relevant specialist forums, there is broad agreement that ceiling-mounted hoods don't work because the distance from the cooking surface is too large. The hoods simply cannot capture the steam.

I will be happy to share my own experiences here, but it will take a little longer as our move is planned for September...

That is rather not correct; I have a ceiling-mounted hood myself and am very satisfied. A lot depends on the position of the hood—whether it is fully in the room or mounted on the wall, etc.

We are still in the early stages of planning, but one thing is already clear: a fireplace will not be included initially. The good news is that it can always be added later.

Among other things, we treated ourselves to a fireplace. The total cost, including everything around it, was incredible... I wasn’t fully aware of all the details at the beginning. I hope it will be worth it in the end.
