I used to be very "in the box" thinking about my house, bedrooms, bathrooms, matching furniture sets.
I finally came to the realization that I don't actually care about the HHA award, so it's pointless to try for so many matching sets!
Some in home ideas:
In Gamine, I have three characters that will all have townhouses once I've finished building them!
House 1: Art gallery and artist's studio: The main large room will be a display space with maybe one or two small exhibits to the side, a bathroom (I study museums and bathrooms are so important, haha), an artist's studio, and an upstairs living space for my mayor! (It's important to me that my characters all at least have one room to live in, otherwise where do they sleep???) Maybe some art storage in the basement - cardboard boxes, fake paintings, etc
House 2: Garden shop and grocery store: I notice that ACNL doesn't have any grocery shops! Sure there's trees, and the roost, but I mean what if you need some sugar, or a bottle of milk? Also I just love gardening shops, and I want to have a little potting shed area with wheelbarrows, and lots of lovely flowers and vases. Other rooms would include a sunny conservatory for growing tropicals, a root cellar for storing bulbs and trees, and a shady green walled bathroom.
House 3: Library and bakery (you can see what's most important to me in urban planning: food access, library, arts): I love the idea of having a public library that takes up two rooms of the main floor, with a small bakery/cafe off to one side (run by Bettina the peppy mouse), a bathroom (BATHROOMS ARE SO IMPORTANT), and an archives in the basement! PUBLIC ACCESS! FREE EDUCATION!!! *flail*
In my town Thistle, I think I'll only have my one mayor's zen style house, and while the top floor will be the mayor's living area, the bottom area will be a little Chinese medicine apothecary/doctor's office. Where do villagers go when they get sick?? Thistle will be a zen themed town, so I think the apothecary theme will fit super well.
Tell me about your house designs! As you can see, I care a lot about the "use" of a space, and also, bathrooms. :b
