Hello Reader, Would You Really Invite Guests This Far Inside? Let’s talk about a layout mistake many homeowners don’t realize until it becomes awkward. In the drawing above, notice how a visitor has to walk past the living room, past the kitchen, through a corridor, and right by the private bedroom just to reach the bathroom. That is a big red flag.
