Solar orientation (west, east, north and south) denotes primarily the sun position throughout the day and the year. Rooms should be located to take best advantage of the sun. However, sunlight are not always desirable to enter into the interior space. In some cases (for example during the winter) it is advantageous while in other cases (for example during summer) they should be blocked.

Reader’s question:
"I renovate a small attic. In the attic there is one bedroom, a kitchen and a living room. The ceiling is wooden in light beige. The kitchen is small and narrow. The furniture is beige and white. Still, I am confused about the flooring options. I am between laminate flooring (to match with the wooden ceiling) and tile flooring (60 X60 cm white tiles). Which option is suitable? Also, what color to select the cabinet doors in the kitchen? What color to paint a wall in the attic?"
Our answer:
Flooring options: Both laminate flooring (in a similar tone and texture with the wooden ceiling) and tile flooring (white tiles) are interesting and appropriate options for an attic. Both materials will add a contemporary and clean look to the space.
However, most of the furniture is white and beige. So, the white flooring could result in a boring and a rather cold space. Hence, we would prefer the laminate flooring.
Laminate as a material is warm with interesting texture that can resemble the classic wooden flooring.
Reader's question
" I want to remodel my bathroom but I cannot find a solution for the bathroom design. The bathroom is 2.25m long and 1.90m wide. The door that is 2.0 m high by 0.80 m wide is in the middle of the short wall. I want to install in the bathroom a floating vanity 1m long, 0.45 m wide, a new shower 1.20m by 0.80m, a cabinet and the washing machine. I would be happy with your answer."
Our recommendation
Take notice that in a bathroom with these dimensions you can only place narrow washing machine.
Furthermore we considered that the drain location is near the right wall.
