A few years ago, UCLA did a study on how people use the different rooms in their homes

Good lord what an awful floor plan.

Our house had a large formal dining room, we converted it to what we call “the front room”, it’s basically just another living room (I guess would be what this image classifies as the Family room). We have a kitchen with an attached dining space that we use as the dining room now.

It looks like a made up floor plan to me. Where’s the front door/ Entrance?
I don’t disagree that porches especially small ones are largely a monster waste of space. Balconies on apartments for that matter also, if you ever look at small balconies on a high rise in a big city you never see anyone on them and when added up it’s tons of sq footage.
It’s still extremely expensive but some high end options to make your living room windows/ doors movable to open up to a porch and make one larger room.

We hardly ever use our piano room. In fact, we have a fooseball table and small beer cooler in our piano room

I feel poor... my son is a concert pianist but only has an upright at home to practice on.

Biggest room in my house is formal dinning room. I haven’t been in it since Christmas
I’d be happy with a house 1/3 the size of what I have. 1/4 after kids leave

Same, formal dining room gets used 4-5 times a year. Living room only used by me because I walk through it to get to my office. We are knocking down the wall between the kitchen and dining room and family room and adding on for a separate breakfast area

formal dining rooms are basically useless these days.

Yeh, and who needs a bedroom, right?

When we built a house, we really thought about the usage of every space. Builder saying you gotta have this/that and we just fought back on what we would not use.

I disagree with that assessment.
I sit on the back porch and relax almost every night.

I hate to break it to you guys, but the entrance is off of the porch on the left side of the image, and the bedrooms are likely upstairs, y’all see the stairs right?

seems that it is always harder to sell a home that does not have a downstairs master bedroom

My grandmother had two rooms in her house that nobody ever went into literally ever. It was like a museum. I was scared something bad would happen to me if I even looked into them from the doorway.

They are useless to people who don’t use them. We have a dining room that seats up to 14 in the expanded table configuration, and we use it weekly. We probably have 40 meals in there per year, about half with roughly 8 to 10 people and the other half with 14 plus kid overflow.

You saying they are useless is exactly what’s wrong with America.

Is the dining room the ipad room?
Would get a lotta use that way.
