What is the most wasted feature of your home?

The two baths, one of them a jacuzzi. Never used. We prefer showers and it seems guests do too.

The exercise bike in the dining room ☹️

Underfloor heating in the conservatory. We put it on the first Winter we had it and the electric bill was sky high. That was years ago. Heaven knows what it would be come October...

pollydolly I'm the same the Magimix and liquidiser never come out of the cupboard I use the stick blender for soup and we like lumps in it anyway. I had forgotten about them.

We don't have unused rooms but do have unused small appliances. Bought a Magimix some years ago for making smoothies and soups; what a faff cleaning that! Bought a hand held blender for the soup and it is so much easier to use and clean.
Anyone want a Magimix?

microwave and dryer, hardly ever use either. Microwave in witner for my barley 'hottie' and that's about it.

Lots of unused rooms here - DH and I were half considering downsizing before his illness. I’m planning to use the family room in the mornings as it’s sunny, then if I ‘retire’ to the living room later, I’ll use the wood burner, which hasn’t been lit since 2020.

My lovely sunny dining room. Never use it as it faces the back yard and I can't see what is going on in the street.

Nothing we use everywhere, I would never get rid of the garage so many properties have turned them into offices or bedrooms and makes them less saleable. I don't park the car in the garage but it used for storage.

The bathroom, and 2 spare bedrooms go unused. I only need one bedroom and have a brilliant en suite with shower. However the spare bedrooms do get used very very occasionally so I am glad to have them.

The garage - so it will become a bedroom if we can ever get a builder.

Same as Redhead

Bath in main bathroom was used for grandchildren as babies but not anymore. However we were told not to remove it as a four bedroom house is sold easier if it actually has a bath in it. Only thinking of the future just want to make life easier for our children who will be selling it.

I suppose it depends on whether it’s a wet or dry ( totally electric) system, the area it covers and how it’s thermostatically controlled.
Ours is electric and doesn’t make much difference, as we also have radiators. Replacing the floor tiles is impossible unless we take up the underfloor heating.

Underfloor heating in the kitchen/downstairs toilet area. It's expensive to run (and will be even more expensive now)

I'm curious about this - it's usually said that it's much more efficient than radiators?

I think the newer systems are, two of our AC have had this installed throughout their downstairs living areas over this summer,

Same here, it was put in by the previous owners. When we replaced the central heating system it was no longer needed.
Now I’m bracing myself for the upheaval of replacing their choice of floor tiles and removing the heating system.

The “family” bathroom - used only for baths for tinies. I can no longer get in and out comfortably (huh! At all) and when family stay I inevitably end up offering them the walk in shower in the en suite.

I’m reading the same thread on Mumsnet.
This comment made me laugh. The second balcony in the den ?

I found this one really sad. My garden because of my shitty neighbours ?

We use all rooms downstairs and as we have a stream of GC here for sleepovers we use all of the bedrooms.

Which is why when we talk about downsizing from this big house we end up saying we need something bigger …

This.

We use everything except evil my lights...never put them on prefer a few lamps.

I can’t think of one. We use all the rooms regularly. Never used the bath, but when we updated the bathroom we got rid of it.

The dining room.
Since my H died it has turned into a store room.
I have a small table in the conservatory and a breakfast bar ( old fashioned I know) in the kitchen.
