How many rooms should a flat have?

When looking for a suitable flat we must pay attention to several factors. These include the floor area and the number of rooms. The number of rooms affects the standard of the property and the comfort of the occupants. With property, the rule "the more the better" does not always work. Find out how many rooms a flat should have to suit your needs.

The number of rooms versus their size

For many of us the number of rooms is very important, and it is a point we look at when reading advertisements. Be careful! Often the number of rooms does not match the flat's floor area. A small flat of, say, about 40m² made up of as many as three rooms will unfortunately be impractical. It is often hard to make use of all the rooms when they are so-called walk-through rooms. In that case it is worth thinking about what we can use such a space for.

Studio flat – is it a good idea?

A studio flat is a flat that always consists of just one room. Such units sometimes have quite large floor areas, e.g. 40 m². If a studio flat is fairly large, the single room can be really spacious. Unfortunately, it will never replace several rooms. A one-room flat is ideal for one person. If several people want to share it, organisational problems may arise.

From 12 to 14 m² is the ideal size for a room with two beds. It is also worth matching the size of the room to the amount of furniture that is to go in it.
