Either put a door on it and make it usable to become a room or don't have it. Honestly, they have a desk, bookshelf and a globe or something "study" like in the display homes, but realistically if that was an actual study it would be full of paperwork, empty coffee mugs and power cords. Do you really want that to be what you see as soon as you open the door?!

Near front door & looks exactly like you realistically described with leads running to router, printer, 2 laptops and haphazard piles of paperwork related to building and fittings! Also has two trikes taking up the postage size floor space, apparently it's the perfect "toddler garage" which is probably the best use for it Re: Whats your Biggest hate in New building plans 320Nov 01, 2013 8:26 pm I love this thread! Mostly because it makes me realise how everyone's tastes are so different...all part of the fun I hate: Open ensuites - just generally impractical Master bed at the back of the house (I want to be able to sticky beak out the window when I hear strange noises at night!) Flooring that goes from tiles or hard floor to carpet back to hard floor When the first thing you see when you walk in the front door is a black wall or awkward looking space Side and back alfrescos - I prefer it all in one space out the back! We do have an open study and it's straight on the right as you walk in to the house! I actually love it. I always loved the study in our old house and it was in a bedroom so I would always leave the door open because it was such a beautiful room. I'm a bit in love with books and stuff though so I love having some special ones on display as kind of a study/reading room My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70636&p=1161767#p1161767 I would really appreciate if if you can complete the poll about windows, if you have a story I would love to hear it.
