QUIZ: Can We Guess Your Ideal Room?

Do you dream of a restaurant-worthy kitchen, or is a home cinema more your thing?

This article was produced in association with Ulster Bank. 

WHEN YOU IMAGINE your perfect home, what’s the first image that comes to mind?

Maybe it’s a high-spec kitchen where two people can move around without bumping into one another. Or maybe it’s a bedroom where you don’t need to store half your clothes in boxes under your bed.

Or, indeed, maybe it’s something totally out of left field: a fully stocked bar, a sauna or a huge walk-in wardrobe.

Figuring out your ideal space before beginning to house-hunt makes it easier to define the features that matter most to you. Sure, your budget might not stretch to a double oven and Italian marble countertops, but you’ll at least know that a spacious kitchen is high on your list of priorities.

If you haven’t quite figured your perfect room out yet – or if you just want to test us on our mind-reading abilities – take the quiz below to see if we get it right…
