Here are some similarities and differences between Roman housing and modern housing.
Similarities:

• Both back then and now poorer people typically live in cheap apartments and richer people have their own house.
• Both cultures richer societies commonly have holiday homes (or Roman equivelent "Villas'' or "Coutry Houses''
• Poorer people in our culture have to go to the dry cleaner while richer have their own washing machine, its like that with baths and toilets in roman culture.
• Both have sewage systems.
  
• Both have multiple floors.

Differences:

• We use much more furniture then the romans did.
• The segregation between upper and lower class isn't as vast as it was in Roman times.
  
• Only 1% of Romans were rich or werent living in poverty, unlike us.
  
• Romans usually had their toilets in the kitchen, and ofcorse that would not be normal for us.
• Romans had many less windows than we do because of weather.
  

Roman houses tend to have very few peices of furniture, because the romans liked space and simplicity. Some of the pretty things they had in Domos's were Mosaics, frescos, water features and art works. This is a roman couch.

Romans didn't tend to have many windows, even the rich avoided using many windows because of weather below is a picture of some windows.

Romans love to have baths but only the rich owned their own bath, most romans went to a bathhouse if they wanted to bathe, bellow is a mimic of a cauldarium.

For light and heat romans used these lamps, the burning of these lamps gave off quite a bad smell so even poor romans could get them, rich romans got ones made out of more expensive metals like bronze. Romans often fuelled it with olive oil or wood
.
Romans used toilets that were usually located in the kitchen as it was un-co to have it in the bath house, Romans did not have toilet paper so the use a stick with a peice of cloth tied to it, when they were finished using it they put it back in a bucket of water where they got it from.
