How would you arrange the rooms in this house, under these circumstances?

[ElephantsHaveWrinkles4]

If...

• you had 1 child (toddler), but planned on having another one in the next year or so, and eventually 3 children (all being well)
• one person worked from home 4 days a week (and so needed an office space)
• you have guests to stay fairly often

... how would you arrange the rooms in this house?

The kitchen diner is big enough to use the diner end as a permanent dining room, so potentially the dining room could be an office for working from home.
Or, we could use the left side of the Master bedroom as an office. Or one of the bedrooms...

Not sure whether to have a permanent guest room, and eventually have 2 of the 3 (hypothetical) children share, or to have one room double up as an office-guest room so all the children have their own room.

Just curious as to how other people would arrange the rooms in this house, to give me ideas!

(this is the floorplan of the house we're in the process of buying. We're moving from a tiny 2 bed flat!)

Once child 2 becomes old enough to need a room I would use the dining room as a guest room unless the children want to share (mine wanted "up and down" beds! sharing until they were 6&8)

I had a house with this layout. I had the dining room as a play room lounge as lounge. I'd rather do this and kids share rooms than have less living space. Until you have 3 kids I'd use the small room as office upstairs
