I defined names for each place in our house. It allows for better naming convention. Each area is in english but has a dutch translation used Google Assistant Following areas are defined in my house:

• living - living
• kitchen - keuken
• basement - kelder
• laundry room - bijkeuken
• hall - hal
• guest toilet - gasten toilet
• shower - douche
• private toilet - privé toilet
• bathroom - badkamer
• master bedroom - slaapkamer
• mezzanine - mezzanine
• orangery - orangerie
• marie bedroom - slaapkamer marie
• pool house

• front porch
• garage
• pergola
• courtyard
• driveway
• parking
• boiler room
• technical room

To allow for consistency it is necessary to have some naming convention.
