Terraced house - 2 separate reception rooms vs open plan

[Gingka]

Hello everyone,

Could I pick your brains on this? For those who have lived in a house with two separate reception rooms vs open plan - which one is your favourite? Would you choose differently in hindsight?

Example floor plans for reference, terraced Victorian houses.

Thank you!

Two separate. We started our married life in an open-plan terraced house and it's a wonder we survived. You are with each other constantly.

When we moved we swore "never again" and it's 2 (at least) separate reception rooms from now on.
