spacious (layouts)


Explanation:
Hello Jon,
I ll have a go: 1. The rooms are decorated warmly and spacious.
2. The rooms feature a warm decoration and spacious
layouts.
I prefer the first version as I often just read spacious (not as complicated as the German version and means the same)

Good luck!

The first sentence should rather be put as:
"The rooms are spacious and decorated warmly." Sorry.
