Floor plan ideas for 30, 80 and 140 m² homes

Find a layout that suits you

A good floor plan starts with how you live, not with a drawing you found. Here are three common sizes and how the rooms are often split. Use them as a starting point and adjust to your everyday life.

30 m² – garden room or annexe

In 30 m² every metre has to work. An open living space with a kitchenette and a separate shower room is most common.

• Living space with kitchenette: about 18–20 m².
• Shower room: about 4 m².
• Sleeping nook or loft if the ridge height allows.
• Storage next to the entrance.

80 m² – cottage or small house

80 m² is plenty for two or three bedrooms. Keep kitchen and living room in one open space facing the garden.

• Open kitchen and living room: about 35 m².
• Two to three bedrooms of 8–12 m².
• Bathroom plus a separate WC near the entrance.
• Hall with room for coats.

140 m² – family house

With 140 m² you can split the house into a social part and a quiet part. Bedrooms often sit at one end or upstairs.

• Kitchen, dining and living: 45–55 m².
• Four bedrooms, one larger main bedroom.
• Two bathrooms and a utility room.
• Boot room with storage at the back.

Tips for a better layout

• Let walkways run along walls, not through seating areas.
• Put bedrooms on the quieter side.
• Place kitchen and living room where the sun is when you are home.
• Draw furniture to size before you settle the walls.

Draw and test it yourself

Only when you draw the rooms to size do you see if the layout works. In MyRoomCraft you draw rooms, add furniture and see your home in 3D right in the browser.
