My players have uncovered a conspiracy, and they are now trying to break into the homes of some rich people in search for documents and other hard evidence. I must design some such homes for them to break into, complete with traps and defences of course. but those are not the problem.
the problem is, i have no idea how to design a home. I open the map screen, and i stare blankly at it while i try to come up with ideas. all i know is that a home should have a kitchen, enough bedrooms for all the occupants, and enough toilets for all the occupants. since those are big homes for rich people, they should also have rooms for the servants, a dining room that's separate from the kitchen, and some open space to entertain guests. the last time i tried making one, though, i ended up with a bunch of unconnected spaces that really made no sense. like, there was this big living room, but one would have to go on the opposite side of the home to reach a toilet. and the servants from the kitchen would have to pass in there to go anywhere. Every design i try to come up with is obviously nonfunctional as a real home.
is there any source i can use to draw realistic homes without taking a course in interior design?
