Why do you think homes usually have rectangular rooms?

Answer 1

Because its easier to find the area of a rectangle.

It's also because maybe the recangle of a room is the cheapest way.

Drywall (Sheetrock) is in long straight sheets and has to be carefully broken to fit

around corners, and then back-filled with joint compound to cover the cracks/gaps.

Also, it makes it a lot tougher from the architect, to the house framer, to the drywaller

to the end user to figure out to to use the curved wall (can't hang a picture on it,

can't throw a couch up against it, etc... So it's normally why you see them only

in high-priced homes (Monticello) and entryways (double-curved staircase to the

lobby, etc.)
