Full House Functionality: Part 3 of 10 Must-Know Interior Design Tips

Interior design tips can often feel repetitive or even too modern. It’s also the worst feeling when you’re trying to design a custom home or renovate your house, and someone is pushing their opinions and style on you (even though it’s not what you want). The good news is here, at Katie T’s Home, you don’t have to feel that way. In fact, I’m designing my own custom home with ZERO experience in interior design. But if there’s something I’m good at, it’s researching, planning, and forward-thinking about the pros and cons of design elements. So, uncover all 10 interior design pros/cons in this quick tip series by signing up for the newsletter below!! So, without further ado, let’s jump into full house functionality.

Full House Functionality

The third quick tip in this mini-series is weighing the pros and cons of full-house functionality. 

What I mean by that is, how does the house function when you’re hosting gatherings or parties? 

Will people feel cramped in the space, or is there enough room to move? This may or may not affect you depending on your lifestyle. 

In addition to the space concern, you’ll also want to consider the main areas where guests stay (living room, kitchen, dining room) and if you would rather everyone be together in one central location or spread throughout the home.

This makes a crucial difference, because if you want everyone together, then opting for either one of these rooms to be large enough to fit everyone or designing your home with an open floor plan is your best bet.

If you’d rather people mingle in a more diverse space, then opting for some separation between the rooms like a hall or wall is your best bet. 

So, the quick tip here is to consider your lifestyle around hosting gatherings and how the home layout will influence how your guests feel at these events.
