Somehow you’ve gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever. Whats the bit you’d add that might raise a brow from others? The fireman’s pole? The slide? The moat? The hidden room behind a bookshelf where you keep your stuffed animals?

    Hidden passageways in all the rooms. Every room will be connected via an intricate maze of crawlspaces, slides, ladders, and all manner of hidden passages. Sure i could use the stairs like a normal person to get to the living room, or i could pull a book off the shelf to reveal a trap door in the floor that leads to a slide downstairs.

    A cheese room. With lots of cheese. Different kinds, different ages and from different places. But still only cheese. I fuckin’ love cheese!

      I would add something similar - place to make food not kitchen.

      I like to mess with stuff like homebrewing, cheese making, I butchered some pigs and game…

      Smoker and few dedicated fridges for this stuff maybe freezer. Fermenters and other things you need for homebrewing…

      When you do it you know that you need lots of specific tools, pots and other things.

        Like a… home workshop inspired by a commercial kitchen? With big bay doors you can roll up when it’s canning season. And a drain in the floor so you can just hose it down when you’re done getting messy. I didn’t realize this is a thing I could get on board with!

    Mine is utterly mundane: I want one of those little tower nook things like on Victorian houses. I think it’s just called a turret?

      You are correct, a turret. You and my wife have the same dream. She wants to put a bunch of pillows on the nook and read.

      It’s funny because every other McMansion Hell post makes fun of houses with turrets, but I’m with you… I’d love a 3rd floor turret with windows on all sides for a chillaxing space.

        I think it’s one of those things where it has to match the rest of the home.

        If you have a fairly standard modern home and just slap a turret on it, it looks ridiculous.

    A Bath Room. No, not a bathroom. A room just for a wide bath, with a fireplace, a window overlooking greenery. A sound system of course. There’ll be a small bookshelf for a choice of relaxed reading, and possibly a fridge at arms length with a choice of relaxing drinks.

    I want a hidden control room, where I control the internet, piped in music, cameras, security and other automations of the house.

    In this way, when there is a complaint of something not working, I just disappear to that room and tinker to my heart’s content. Problems mysteriously gets fixed (by me).

    This should be a nice and comfortable room, with plenty of space, a bathroom and a skylight.

    I want a nap room. Not to be confused with a bedroom, as the bedroom is for sleeping and a nap room… well should be self-evident. Nice climate control, piped in white noise type sound I can change easily (From regular white noise to rainy background to sounds of the woods to lo-fi chillhop), and multiple things to nap in, a hammock, lazyboy, and couch at minimum.

    A huge garden/green house in the center with fruit trees and berry vines, etc. and in the center of that, a sort of pool/pond. The whole place has a path circling through it with various benches and seats and musical instruments on display/for use. Piano, harp, hurdy gurdy, etc.

    Pneumatic tube system. Brass steampunk shit like in old banks and skyscrapers would be fine, as would clear plastic ones like drive through pharmacies.

    A secret passage. I’ve always wanted one. My parents built their home and I was genuinely disappointed that they skipped this vital element.

    One long stairway only going up, one even longer coming down, and one more leading nowhere just for show.
