You know how most people fill their garages with stuff instead of cars? And basements have corners or entire rooms filled with things you can't throw away (or don't want to) but that really shouldn't be in a basement corner? Well our dream house will have rooms specifically designed for storage. Off the garage, there'll be a room for car related stuff. Off the Kitchen-- a pantry, with lots of shelves for appliances that are rarely used and bulk food that we needed to buy.
Near the pool there will be a linen closet filled with towels and robes and slippers. This closet needs a warming device so that towels come out feeling fresh out of the dryer.
The dining room can have a little door, and in a little cubby will roll out a cart with extra chairs, extra leaves for the table, and anything else big.
If the recreation room has a TV, Stereo and other electronic bits-- maybe the back of that wall is actually the technology room, so that everything can be wired with ease, and controlled throughout the house?
In the basement, but in an area close to the stairs nearest the kitchen, we can havea wine and fruit cellar. Storage at temperature, essentially.
Each bedroom should have ample walk-in closet space, designed in such a way as to adapt to the age of the child or guest. (Kids rooms don't need as much 'hang up clothes' space, but can appreciate bins for toys, etc)
In addition to all of that, the house, preferably at ground level, possibly connected to the garage, should have a secure storage room for things like documents, art that isn't currently on the walls, other valuables, etc. This room should be accessible only from the inside of the house, but ina covert way. It should be connected to the surveillance system, and should be locked at all times.
