The litmus test for an adult home hinges on the contents of its fridge. For instance, a young woman in her twenties might have an abundance of fresh foods on one shelf, and her favourite skincare products on the next.
A put-together flatshare will have a clear divide down the middle, with items rarely crossing the barrier over into the forbidden side of the icebox. The standard model for the modern adult home, however, consists of a fridge with at least two shelves bulging and bending under the weight of countless condiments, old pickle jars, and probably a dead sourdough starter or two.
