House specifications in Oz
I have been looking at the websites of builders in WA and I am bemused and fascinated by the specifications that I see for new homes. Many have a family room AND a sitting room AND a theatre room. I don't know if I could devote so many rooms in one house to sitting on my arse!
I also think it's a bit strange that almost all homes only have 2 bathrooms. In a 5 bed house I would expect 3 bathrooms. Even the UK has gone ensuite crazy with some properties having an ensuite to every bedroom.
To those with the three living areas - how do you find the arrangement? Do you actually use all the spaces?

In terms of the bathrooms two is quite enough. Having individual bathrooms for all the kids just sounds like a whole lot of extra needless cleaning and mess to me!

I fancy a rumpus room! I don't know what it is but I like the sound of it.

I have a family room and a formal lounge and dining. Nice to have somewhere to entertain that is separate from our normal living area. I do wish we had a study though.
