When I think of HOME I think of my family, and my childhood. Thinking of HOME has many associated memories. HOUSE has fewer personal connotations. When I think HOUSE I tend to picture my own future house and what that will be like. Hope this helps. :smile:

Home is something warm, comforting, and linked with family. Also, it feels more about the interior of the building, whereas the house is a general utilitarian dwelling that everyone lives in.
