I don't remember the last time we had a classic design, but we've had cabins for the past like 3 or 4 YEARS almost non stop. That's far more boring and samey, as well as being an ugly dull theme to begin with

Having a smaller room in itself makes the room more warm. I'd actually ban or rather not use the larger rooms for the Help Desk as it is supposed to be an intimate meeting place and having people close together encourages conversation rather than people sitting miles away and the room looking empty. I don't understand the people demanding huge rooms, since when was HxHD ever that packed that we needed 50/50 and seating space for everyone?

Totally agree with @FlyingJesus; aswell. Only change to Layout 4 I would make is swapping the Mochamaster for a Russian Samovar. :P

Voted layout 2 but I'd be happy with layout 4 too

They're all quite nice but all VERY similar. Four gets my vote simply because of intimacy because that never happens in the help desk anymore -- you may want to reconsider the pillows or their colour though! ;)

Vote 2, but I'd be happy with 2 or 5

I always wanted to make a cute santas workshop layout. I have a rough vision, and it would be something a bit diff from the usual cabin layout. Just gonan be hard with no furn in bc yet and so don't have the patience to find it in shops lol @Plebings; you would be perf for this!! x @thms;

was that really 2012, that's insane I remember that layout so well.

It's nearly half way through November, if we had a non-christmassy layout we'd have it for about 15 days then it would be changed again. There should be a default layout for situations like this - have everyone vote for a default one and then for times where there's isn't an occasion/season etc etc we just have the default one.

smh jellyfish!!

i originally was going for a small room for halloween then you told me it was too small, NOW you want intimacy?? :/

yup gone so quick! Yea I don't know why we are having this so soon. End of Nov is fine! And I think yours looks way better in person Alex. Once it has a few rugs down it will look more cosy!! And also that number four layout we have had it Numerous times!!!

Small =\= intimate. If you spread out seating it encourages cliques to form and discourages people from joining the larger groups. This is a control tactic in design in public spaces irl but it can be applied here just as well. So long as all seating is together and there's not enough space around the floor for people form groups, it means that everybody must so together and in turn fosters a more friendly atmosphere for the room. I do like layout 2, I just don't like the idea of every1 being so spread out :( if it comes to a decider feel free to change my vote! I probably won't visit the room much anyway.

also a big fat no to "default" seasonal layouts pls!! There's new things released each year for a reason! Would be nice to see a default help desk in general though.
