Reader's question:
"How can I camouflage a ceiling beam that appears in the middle of the open-plan living room and kitchen? Under the beam, it is designed to place the kitchen counter with the sink. In the photos you can see, the water pipes on the floor. My basic concern is, that the counter will not be placed exactly under the beam but 50 cm in front of it"
Let’s suppose that you are moving into a new home. One of the things that you'll need to consider first is the arrangement of furniture in space. The process is basically the same, whether you're planning to keep your old furniture or to buy new one.
In the first option, the advantage is that you know the exact measurements of all the items, so you can make several layouts easier. The disadvantage is that probably some furniture pieces will not fit into the new room, for example if the room is smaller or has a different shape.

"My bathroom measures 1.80m x 2.90m. The interior door is on one of the long sides. I would like a built-in washing machine under the counter. What bathroom layout to choose? There are no restrictions on the drainage position. Also I would like two windows for more natural light. Thank you in advance"
