I have a story that takes place in a single-story elderly lady's house (and mostly the living room). In the final scene we learn that the main character is insane and that in fact he has been in a dingy apartment the entire time. His mind has been hallucinating that the dingy apartment was a much cozier home belonging to an elderly lady. The idea is that the elderly lady's house is warm, cozy and that the dingy apartment is beat up, bare. However, though they are 2 different environments they are supposed to be the same place, so the layout, like where the bathroom is in relation to the front door, should match each other. The question is would it be more practical to find one location and simply dress it up as the two different environments or would finding two separate locations that already somewhat match the feel of the different environments make sense? If we found two separate locations it would obviously be difficult to match up a lot of the geometry of the room, but I'm wondering how far 'cheatin' it would go. On a budget too
