Your home is so many things at once, but above and beyond its basic function is as a place to sleep and store your belongings. It is also a place where you can feel safe, take refuge and welcome visitors. It could also be a home base—where you might, for example, run a business (like this website) from a home office or create a space for relaxation and play.
