Happier in Your Home: Vol 2 - Downside to Open Concept Living

It's time for the building pendulum to swing back to some walls - and doors. While the open concept is still better than a rabbit-warren of rooms, having some dedicated spaces makes for a better work/life balance. If you're meditating around a coffee table and you have a spare bedroom used twice a year, re-purpose it. If you can telecommute or have to bring work home, closing a door when you're finished will let you be more present for your family. And if you're super crafty, for heavens sake, put walls around it!
