If you are planning the build of your new home, or are considering renovations to your existing home, take in all the suggestions you find. It will be during the planning stages that you can incorporate the necessary changes with the help of a cooperative design team.
One of the suggestions you might consider is creating conversation pits, also known as sunken seating arrangements. These can be found in living rooms, pool areas, and offices across the world. They create an atmosphere of relaxation, where you can kick off your shoes and unwind.
They are also a great place to host family and friends. The “sunken” atmosphere, with seating all around, creates a more intimate setting. By working with your builder during the planning stages, they can adjust the floorplan as needed to accommodate this addition.
