Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Nov 30, 2017 4:31 pm We have decided this is the design we are going to build. Just looking for suggestions on how to best use the space. We have 2 children (ages 7 and 2.) Initially we thought we would use the theatre as the "den" - piano, bookcase, maybe a tv. The idea being that this being at the front of the house would stay relatively "tidy"! Retreat would be for kids stuff (currently an abundance of toys) - not too far from the kitchen, so easy to supervise. Now I'm wondering if we should reverse it because the plan is so open. So piano/office in the retreat and kids zone in the theatre? Or do we just move in and see what evolves?

Re: How would you use this space? 2Feb 23, 2018 1:31 am I'd stick with your first idea. Kids are usually more content to play in closer proximity to the action, ie kitchen, and it will be easier to keep the more separate theatre a bit quieter to work in.

Great floor plan overall, whose design is it? I agree with others. I think you've the right idea already. Love the layout. Congrats on a really nice home, Loveyourwork! Re: How would you use this space? 5Jul 19, 2018 2:04 am I'm in agreement with everyone else. For kids this layout is perfect. It's great how the dining room and living room are right near the kitchen. The theatre seems to be in a good location too for your kids to play. This is the current bathroom with a european laundry.
