When you start to live with a romantic partner, there are plenty of adjustments that both people have to make. Often, any tensions center around things like the division of household chores, but an often important and less talked about issue can be differences in opinion when it comes to interior design. Whether you like the way your home looks and whether you feel like it functions the way that you need it to are both important considerations that two people may have very different opinions on. You have to meet in the middle.

However, that can be easier said than done if one individual has a particular vision of how they want their house to look. The fact is, no matter what your taste, any home has to work for living in as well as look the way that you want it to. This can cause disagreements if your partner doesn’t share the same idea.
