We have a modest-sized house with a split floor plan, which we both liked instantly. The master is on one side of the living room and two smaller rooms are on the other side. My husband uses the master as his office and dressing area, and we turned the medium room into the bedroom. I can almost not hear him across the house when his office door is shut and I'm sitting in my office. He works at home. Nothing is more annoying than the sound of half a Zoom conversation. Maybe a screaming baby at the theatre. Maybe. Although we hadn't anticipated him working at home, I'm beyond grateful I have protection from the noise and a room of my own.
