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.
