My guide to the dream house: Practical tips and architectural highlights | Built-in wardrobes
Hello, my dears and welcome to my new blog series about house building! In the coming posts I will my personal tips, must-haves and experiences everything that really makes a difference when building a house. It’s not just about floor plans, storage space and flexible spaces, but also about how thoughtful planning, light, proportions and high-quality details create a home that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The series is accompanied by a look at elegant architecture, which is not only beautiful to look at, but also optimizes the use of every room and provides long-term pleasure. My goal is to give inspiration and at the same time provide concrete advice so that your dream home is not just a pretty building, but a practical, livable space will grow with your needs.
As the first point in my series I would like to point out Visualization and design of large, open living spaces, as we already did in the house planning phase using 3D visualizations with the planned furniture, enter. Open floor plans not only promote communication and shared life, but also create rooms that are absolute eye-catchers thanks to their light, proportions and visibility. Gallery levels, high rooms over 2.70 m or special design details – all of this is nice, but not absolutely necessary. If the budget and floor plan allow it, there is nothing wrong with integrating such highlights. They definitely make living more pleasant and the rooms more impressive, but the basis of a house should always be functional and well thought out. That’s exactly why the topic comes next Storage space and built-in cupboards into the game. A house that is visually impressive is of little use if you are constantly annoyed by the lack of order or not enough space for everyday things. With cleverly planned installations, both can be combined: living aesthetics and practical use – and that is exactly the key to an all-round functional home.
You can never have enough storage space – but ideally it doesn’t even appear. Invisible solutions that fit harmoniously into the architecture of a room not only create order, but also convey a high-quality, calm feeling of living. We plan our rooms exactly according to this principle: ceiling-high built-in cupboards ensure a clear, tidy look and make the walls appear as if they were made of one piece. Every area is taken into consideration right from the start, because practical storage space is not created by chance, but through consistent planning. For us, it is always better to have too many cupboards than too few – because nothing is more valuable than flexibility and long-term functionality. How effective this approach is can be seen particularly in our own furnishing examples. In the dressing room, for example, precisely fitting, floor-to-ceiling built-in cupboards create an elegant, calm atmosphere in which clothes, accessories and laundry can find their place in a perfectly organized manner. The wardrobe also benefits from this concept: hidden storage space accommodates jackets, shoes and bags without cluttering up the entrance area or causing clutter. Another example is the kitchen, which is equipped with a three meter long kitchen block and almost six meters of built-in cupboards. Here it becomes clear how invisible storage space makes everyday life easier: appliances, supplies and kitchen utensils disappear behind clear fronts, so that the kitchen itself appears spacious, modern and absolutely tidy. Because for me there is nothing worse than open living spaces that are overloaded and whose kitchen blocks are full of all sorts of knick-knacks, for example. Continuous lines reinforce the feeling of space and quality – a space that is functionally thought out down to the last detail without overtly flaunting it. This creates a living environment everywhere that exudes calm, is clearly structured and at the same time offers enough space to perfectly store everything you need – and for us that is exactly what real, high-quality design means.
Sincerely,
