Is the “Formal Dining Room” dead in America today?
If dining rooms seem to be falling out of favor with the majority of home buyers, who instead opt for a home office space (more people working from home) it may seem like there’s no point in building a new home with a formal dining room, or choosing a home that has one. But the truth is that your home has to be your home. Sometimes that means bucking the trends to have a place that suits you. Obviously, there are plenty of houses built in different eras with formal dining rooms that won’t be going anywhere. Sometimes the home’s layout makes it difficult to simply open the dining room to the rest of the living space, although newer homes may lack that barrier. Sometimes it is easier to simply do an update that turns formal dining rooms into more usable space for today’s more remote work/lifestyle. This leads me to my question, are you still interested in having a formal dining room, or would you prefer a home office?
