Flat size tailored to your needs
You have just made the most important decision of your life: you are buying a flat! You can't wait to find your dream flat – with 1, 2 or maybe 3 rooms? Exactly – how many? Haven't you quite decided yet? If you are still wondering whether to invest in a studio, a two-room flat or a larger one, this article was written with you in mind. After reading it, you will have no doubts left.
The studio – small but delightful
The biggest asset of a studio is, of course, the price. Its low cost is, however, reflected in the floor area. One-room flats usually do not exceed 35 sq m. That is nevertheless enough for a single person or a couple. Studios are often the first properties of young people who are keen to feel the independence of having a place of their own. If you are one of them, a small floor area will certainly not be a problem for you.
Much more important here is how practical the room's layout is. It will fulfil many functions at once: bedroom, dining room, living room, and also a space to work in. So when searching for the ideal studio, look for a space that can serve all these functions. A practical layout will be all the more important if you plan to live there as a couple. In that case the space should be organised so that everyone feels at ease in it.
A studio will be an ideal choice for people with a small budget who very much want a place of their own. Confirmed singles who do not need much space and do not plan to start a family will also feel great in this type of property.
The two-room flat – a versatile option
The two-room flat is the most common choice among estate agency clients. Singles, young married couples, families with children and older people all opt for it. Whether a given flat will meet a particular client's expectations depends mainly on its layout and practicality, as well as on individual needs.
A two-room flat gives a single person many possibilities. Living alone, we can arrange one of the rooms as a living room and the other as a bedroom. If we run a sole proprietorship, one of the rooms can be set aside as a home office.
A young couple will also feel perfectly at home in this kind of space. Two rooms make it easy to separate the day area from the night area. In such a flat everyone can also find a little time to themselves without getting in the other person's way.
Couples with children also often choose two-room properties. The main reason is to save money, but even three or four people can live comfortably in such a flat. It is enough to set aside one of the rooms for the children, while the other can serve as both the living room and the parents' bedroom.
The three-room flat – a long-term investment
While we often treat a studio or a two-room property as temporary accommodation, a three-room flat is usually a long-term investment. A larger space will suit young married couples as well as families with more children. A three-room flat offers plenty of possibilities for arranging the space. It can accommodate a child's room, the parents' bedroom and a living room. Childless couples can set up an additional study or guest room. It all depends on the owners' needs.
