new Build 1 1/2 storey

6 years ago

How much floor space per m2 would be suitable for comfortable open plan living, consisting of kitchen with breakfast bar, dining table and living area. I don,t want it all sitting on top of each other. I,m working with 100 m2, upstairs living. There is meant to be a master bedroom, dressing room and ensuite also on this floor. The roof is going on now and I just don,t think it’s big enough....HELP. Thanks in advance. This self build is stressful.

Just a little lost...................When you mention the Master Bedroom, dressing room and En-Suite, is that upstairs with another living area?

Downstairs...................Living, dining, kitchen, entrance hallway, stairs etc

Is the 100m2 your footprint? Thus, 10m x 10m or similar? In which case, it's more than big enough.

This plan is roughly 100m2......................If however, you mean say 60m downstairs and 40m upstairs ( useable floorspace ), then that would be a different scenario.

Why don't you post your plan, that would be easier.

Kitchen/dining/ living space of around 60 square meters seems generous. 17 square meters for a bedroom is good. ( then 6 m2 stairwell, 9m2 bathroom, 6 m2 dressing area and 2 m2 guest cloakroom.)

I was just reading the comments above and I thought I would draw it up for you. This is a really small room, as soon as you start dividing it up the space will feel ridiculously cramped with all your belongings. I suggest you make your own shelving and desk or hire a carpenter to make you something bespoke for you as it is such a small space. Give yourself a long desk, half for computer half for painting. Where normal depth furniture will hinder door access put your tv area. Put storage beneath your desk area. More importantly instead of having an intrusive book case put a shelf that goes all of the way around the room just above door height. You do not need to acccess your books everyday so make use of the limited space you have and put them up high. This also allows more wall space for your artwork. Let us know how it all goes

Sent the question in two parts as wanted to attach 8 pictures. Hi! I've recently purchased a new build property that comes with limited kitchen options. I'm having big problems regarding what to choose. Help!! I usually go for the shaker / country style but struggling with the options (they only showed us the drawers I'm afraid). Any ideas for combinations?? Worktops, flooring, walls, cabinets. I've attached house details (including a picture of the house kitchen on another site) on this question and some of the kitchen choices and will send the other options on a separate question. Thank you everyone.

We bought a 3-bedroom bungalow with 3 bathrooms, 2 of which were en-suites back to back between bedrooms. We did what you want to do - made a more spacious master bedroom and en-suite, rather than leaving our toddler her own en-suite. I have no regrets, since 3 bathrooms for 3 people seemed excessive. I've no idea whether we lost value - I doubt it because I don't think a second en-suite is 'expected'.
