I'm a little concerned about the 2.7x4.0 (which will be the guest room) becaue of the layout, but the other two for my two boys I think will be plenty big enough (they look big with double beds in them in the display home). There is also an activity room between the two boys rooms. Re: Optimal size bedrooms 20Aug 10, 2010 12:25 am joles royalblue I think for bedrooms other than main bedroom, its best to have a nominal width of 3.65m. (This allows for full width carpets or floorcoverings with minimal wastage. Then the length can be as much as you can make it. If I were planning, I'd make it about 4.2m long. This would be a nice size of 15.33sq/m. But of course, it depends on how the overall floorplan works, and where you need more room. 3.65 x 4.2 for minor bedrooms? Pretty unrealistic in the current housing climate unless it's a custom build and $$$$ and size isn't an issue. If kids have to use their bedrooms as their play area as well, then size is more important, but if they are purely for sleeping, then the space is definitely better used somewhere else. You make some good points there Joles, and others' input as well. The original question was "what are optimal sizes" so I offered what I think is optimal. Sure, it may be unrealistic, but it is optimal! And although some may choose other floorcoverings than carpets, a nominal width of 3.65m makes a lot of sense. Whether its a length of 2.7m, 4.2m, more or less, having that width is a good standard. Ash. Hi, Have fun, remember bedrooms should feel relaxing and inviting, the last space you see before sleep and the first you see when you wake up.
