Small three rooms, one son and one daughter with grandparents, how to design?

Two couples, a son and a daughter, grandparents. A family of six is really happy and enviable! However, the living conditions are indeed a bit stretched. If these six people are permanent residents and have no plans to buy a house again in recent years, I'm afraid it won't solve any problems without adding a room. Although children can live with adults now, it is a stopgap measure after all. Children always sleep in separate rooms after they are two years old, not to mention grandparents are still two people.

Comments on house decoration: 1. The kitchen moved forward. From the plan, the kitchen is quite long, and there is life balcony. Generally, there is no sunshine in life balcony, so it is of little significance to put the washing machine (you have to take it to the big balcony to dry after washing clothes). In addition, the passage to the bedroom is too wide, and the wall at the kitchen door should move forward about 80 cm. (as shown in red)

2. Add a room to the kitchen and living room balcony. After the kitchen moves forward, shorten the depth of the kitchen and appropriately reduce the kitchen area. Remove the existing balcony partition wall and connect it with the saved kitchen space to make a room. In terms of size, the space is still good, and it can also be used for lighting. Leave the doorway opposite the gate and open the center line of the wrong door to avoid certain feng shui problems. (as shown in the blue part of the figure)

3. Make the added bedroom into tatami. Because of the long and narrow layout, it is recommended to make tatami. This is not only convenient to use, but also can increase the indoor storage function.

4. Reduce the space of dining room and living room appropriately. The living room sofa can consider a smaller corner sofa or a Nordic-style sofa. It is enough for four people to sit in the restaurant. With increased flexibility, six people can eat comfortably.

5. Keep the balcony room square. The rooms on the balcony are as square as possible, and even some balcony areas of the living room can be borrowed to ensure the comfort of the room space. After all, the balcony is a necessary function.

Advantages of conversion: 1. Let each room be as independent as possible, with enough distance, no interference and good privacy.

2. Home ownership, everyone has his own room to use, and there will be no embarrassment about who lives in that room.

3. Maintain integrity. This kind of planning keeps the integrity of the main structure of the house to the maximum extent. The existing functions continue to be maintained, the core area is coherent, and the interaction between family members is convenient.

After all, the conclusion is that adding a room will take up some other area, but I think it is still worthwhile. After all, there are many functions, which have no practical impact on ventilation and lighting.
