Just a thought
It has been pretty nippy lately. We managed to keep the house nice and toasty warm. It made me wonder how people who live in converted barns, or have open plan living manage to keep their places warn when it is below zero outside. It must be an expensive nightmare. I think the Victorians and Edwardians got it right: lots of big-enough rooms carpeted and curtained rather than large 'spaces' with wooden floors and huge uncurtained windows.

I agree with the heating thing because there are no walls between our kitchen to the dining room into the living room. It makes them look alot bigger then they are. But I will say that tall windows that face in the correct direction will actually heat the house quite nicely. A number of people in my area own homes that have these over 6 ft tall windows and to be perfectly honest, the rooms are too hot during the day.
Just a thought.
Re the big windows thing- I agree with you if there are positioned correctly. We've got big windows in our living room, facing south, and that romm tends to be warm. Howevr I've been to friends' houses where they are north facing and it can be a bit chilly!
