The most popular room

One of the most popular rooms in a new build is the living room.

When you’re building your own home, every room feels important. But one space consistently takes centre stage: the living room. It’s the heart of the home, and for most homeowners, it’s where design dreams and lifestyle come together.

It is where families gather—whether it’s for movie nights, celebrations, or quiet evenings.

People want a space that feels warm, inviting, and big enough to bring everyone together-fireplaces and timber floorcoverings are sought after inclusions.

Some like open-plan layouts, with the living room flowing into the kitchen and dining area. This makes the home feel larger, brighter, and more connected….and it is also perfect for entertaining.

Living rooms are also multifunctional spaces….They double as home offices and even workout zones.

And don’t forget the tech, with speaker systems, to smart lighting and curtain controls…all being on a living room wish list.

For anyone thinking of building their own home, the living room is one of the most popular and most important spaces. It’s where family life unfolds—it’s the room that truly defines your home.
