GETTING TO KNOW the homes of the locals when we travel is a great way to understand the place and culture we’re in. Things we might think are common in every house all over the world might be just a local custom from our region, and we may discover household items we suddenly need to have in our homes. These differences occur even among countries of the Western society, even when those countries share a common language (with some differences, of course). That’s the case of US and UK homes.

How are American houses different from British homes? Faucets, power outlets, mailboxes… The guys at Your Best Digs have put together this infographic with the major differences between US and UK homes.

Bedrooms don't have to have closets
This one is kind of mind-blowing to me. In the States, you literally cannot count a room as a bedroom if it doesn't have a closet - you can only classify it as a den or a study or something like that. It will lower the value of your house when you go to sell it because instead of getting to say you have a 4 bedroom 2 bath house, you only have a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. Here, it seems to be about fifty/fifty whether or not a bedroom will have a closet. The bedrooms at the Wales house did, here they don't. The Air BnB's were about half and half. And in the brand spanking new house we saw? The master bedroom had a closet, and the 3 other bedrooms did not! Here's a picture of the first bedroom, the white piece of furniture on the left is a wardrobe because there is not a closet in the room.

Even in the master bedroom, it was not a walk-in closet. In the States, I don't think you could get away with a brand new house selling for $600,000 that doesn't have a walk-in closet in the master bedroom.

Half glass doors on shower/tub combos
There seem to be two types of bathroom set-ups we have encountered. The first has a tub, and then a separate standing shower that is completely enclosed. The second is a shower/tub combo like is common in the States, but instead of a full glass door or a shower curtain, there is a half glass door. This is what we have encountered literally everywhere that hasn't had a free-standing shower without the tub. It is so different for us!

Until you try it I don't think I can explain how hard it is to not accidentally spray water around the room when taking a shower. We have to be so, so very careful not to do that. Also, I end up a lot colder in the shower! The steam doesn't get trapped from the hot water, and often I have to step completely out of the spray to grab the shampoo. It is not my favorite feature, and if we lived somewhere like this long-term you best believe we'd be putting up a shower curtain.

Bathroom light switches are different
We've also encountered two kinds of light switches in bathrooms - it's either a pull light switch or if it's a regular light switch it's located outside of the bathroom. Even at the show home, the switches were outside the bathroom! We don't like that set-up because Joel and I can both imagine what that would have been like as kids - siblings always walking by and turning the light off on one another. I have seen this feature on occasion in the States, but only in older homes. I can't imagine a new one being built this way.
