Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to describe the typology of places at home. These home places are constructed in relation to everyday practices, emotions, and ways of remembering special or meaningful events. At the same time, home may be seen as a place of socialization and de-socialization, loved and hated. Experiencing domesticity might be characterized as many-sided and a changeable phenomenon. Emotional dimensions of home are described by instability and transiency. Despite this fact, some emotions are related to the home practices longer than other ones. These feelings define crucial features of using the space at home.
