There's no rule that you have to use each room as it was designated on the architect's blueprints, yet too often we don't think to do anything different. Jessica says this is a big mistake.
The Solution
"Think outside of the box and break the rules when it comes to how you use rooms! If you don't throw fancy dinner parties (like me), then why have a dining room?" Jessica questioned. Every room in your home is valuable real estate, and you should be using it to help you fulfill your life's intention. Jessica elaborates, if you want to have more quality time with your teen, get him or her to spend more time at home with you by turning the dining room into a teen-friendly lounge. Or if you're passionate about art, repurpose part or all of the formal dining room you rarely use into an art studio.
The space-use possibilities are endless, so Jessica recommends taking some time to determine what your emotional needs are and then evaluate how you can use your space to best serve them.
