I personally like designing smaller rooms because they look cute and cozy. However, I noticed that my bigger rooms are actually turning out better than my smaller ones. Basically the only fully expanded rooms I have are the main rooms in each house. I guess that?s a good thing though since that?s the room people first see.
 
Smaller rooms definitely! I find it hard to design the main room if there are side rooms because I don't like how the grid is split up because of the doors. Usually if the player's house is a facility I end up upgrading the rooms to the fullest just to get the most of it. But I like to keep things like bathrooms and kitchen rooms fairly small.
 
It sometimes depends on how specific the theme is for me.
Larger rooms give you a lot more cluttering space, but can be a bit more difficult in terms of making it feel cozy as you have said. Good thing there is a middle expansion!

I love designing the small rooms, but there's so much furniture and decorations that I'd want to put in there that they often end up becoming large room projects, heh. I love the way small rooms can look so cozy, and if the main room could have stayed small I definitely would have kept it that way!
 
I used to only want to design big rooms so I can include everything in them, but over time I find that I really like small and medium rooms. Most of the rooms in Kasumi's house are small or medium, except her bedroom and obviously the main room.
 
I usually make larger rooms and split them up into smaller sections for decorating with screens or other furniture items to keep them feeling cozy. But if the theme of the room calls for it, then I'll keep the room small or medium. I wish I could have kept my mayor's main room on the smaller side to make it more of a foyer or simple entrance way.
 
I think medium size rooms are my favorite to decorate. I will probably keep my 2nd floor medium sized, since that's how it has been in every AC before it (except maybe Wild Word since I never bothered to upgrade fully). I remember in City Folk I always enjoyed redecorating my 2nd floor and I ended up making a lot of good rooms up there.
 
I never really designed small rooms before, but it does sound fun. I've always expanded my entire house just so I would pay off Tom Nook and not have to worry about it anymore. Maybe in the next game I'll try to do it.
 
I like any interior that's warm and cosy looking. My living room is upgraded and I used to not like the amount of empty space, but now I divided it into small sections (a tv and a music/book corner) and I love it. At the moment I have a small bedroom and kitchen added to my house and they are just so cute I don't want to expand, though I probably will once I find extra furniture B)

I guess the mediums are a good middle ground for me since the small rooms can be difficult if you want to place furniture and be able to walk around it... It's just fine for my little bedroom, though.
 
I like big rooms--I find myself feeling cramped in most smaller rooms. Though right now one of my alts has the Alpine series and some plants in a medium-sized room and it feels pleasantly hygge--light and airy yet also comfortable and cozy.
 
I honestly quite like designing bigger rooms. It lets me put more furniture and usually gives that open room concept I quite like. However, I’m not the best at interior design so... oof
 
I usually just upgrade fully, and have the biggest rooms, but one thing that does bother me is how the main room when you walk in has three different paths. Makes it hard to decorate fully. As for size, I have thought of small but don?t like to have that loan and enjoy the big house design, I wish there was a way to customize it more after you payed it all off. Like have a choice to make things smaller or bigger as you please. Hopefully next game
 
If I dont expand my house to the fullest it doesnt feel like I've completed the game. If I have expanded rooms, I can use one entire furniture set in it. Sadly, with small rooms thats almost IMPOSSIBLE. Im 100% a completionist. Lol.
 
I arrange rooms with consideration of flow. In other words, I avoid having furniture obstruct a pathway in a room. It’s like a department store. I noticed the way some of them have been managed, in recent years, with putting shelves of merchandise in the middle of an aisle. I went to one store, during Christmas period of 2017, and the store overdid it to the point of a potential danger if there was ever a fire—and I left the store. It was very unpleasant. So, again, if you explore any of my Dream Address towns—say, the museum-themed ACNLpics (whose humans house the pictures of the villagers)—you will see I keep this in mind.

i definitely enjoy designing small rooms! however, it's better for me to have expanded rooms since i collect loads of furniture that i plan to use :rolleyes: so, aesthetic wise, small rooms are cozy and safe, but because of my habit of hoarding furniture i'd go for rooms that are fully expanded

Small rooms I find them cute and cosy my large rooms always get too cluttered and I have a much tougher time making them look nice
 
Well, I have a 6x6 room in my house that i'll never upgrade, and it looks great like that.

But I must say I like to do both really, as long as it matches with the room theme i'm going for.
