AIBU - housemates practically living in common areas

I live in a shared house with 2 other people. I've always been very much of the mindset that the kitchen is for cooking and eating in, and rarely spend much time in there unless I'm talking to one of my housemates.

But they both use the kitchen so much! It's only small, if there's someone sat at the table it's a squeeze to get around the room. One spends most of his time using the entire table for his painting hobby, the other always sits in there to revise or do uni work. They always have music or tv on speakers while they're doing this.

WIBU unreasonable to gently suggest they do this in their own rooms, or in the (admittedly small) living room which no-one uses, or is this just part of communal living?

YABVU! I'd be furious if my flatmate told me I couldn't use the communal areas and that I should spend my time in my bedroom. Antisocial and rude!

Fair enough, i won't say anything. Wanted other people's opinions as I wasn't sure if it was me hating people, or my housemates being annoying.
