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

- marie bedroom - slaapkamer marie
- pool house
- front porch
- garage
- pergola
- courtyard
- driveway
- parking

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