Hello, we are currently planning our bungalow.
It won’t be very large, about 140 sqm (1500 sq ft), with two small children soon.
Now I’m wondering how big the children’s rooms should be.
I’m worried they might be too small when the kids grow up. Or do they hardly spend time there anyway?
The children’s rooms are planned to be 13 sqm (140 sq ft) each.
The parents’ bedroom is 15 sqm (160 sq ft) with a walk-in closet.
The complete floor plan will be shared once everything is fully planned, and then you can take it apart and review it.
Good luck!

12 to 13 square meters (130 to 140 square feet) are acceptable if the space is well designed. For example, in the hallway, it might be possible to create shared built-in closets to store items like consoles, games, and sports equipment, which would help free up space in the children's rooms. A computer desk can also be integrated nicely at the end of a hallway, allowing the kids to have more play area in their rooms and leaving room for an armchair later on. If the children's rooms are next to each other, the partition wall between them can be used effectively for built-in closets for each room. This creates a more spacious feeling within the rooms. More than 15 square meters (160 square feet) can be furnished with unconventional wardrobes.
Bedroom: good planning can save space. A minimum width of 3.80 meters (12.5 feet) is sufficient, with a depth of 3.20 meters (10.5 feet) plus a dressing area. This should be considered during the design phase.

Bedroom 12 sq meters (129 sq feet) + 7 sq meters (75 sq feet) dressing room
Total house area 136 sq meters (1,464 sq feet) living space plus basement.
The children's rooms already seem sufficiently large in the shell construction. As toddlers, they will have space to play (theoretically), and later there will be enough room for a desk, a large bed, etc.

Children’s rooms 2 x 17m² (183 sq ft)
Bedroom 15m² (161 sq ft) + 10m² (108 sq ft) walk-in closet
Approx. 240m² (2,583 sq ft) living space
I grew up in a 12m² (129 sq ft) children’s room, which eventually felt really small to me as a teenager. With a 1.40m (4 ft 7 in) bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, TV stand, bookshelf, and so on, there wasn’t much space left…

Hi Phil
240 sqm (2583 sq ft) of living space in a new build—that's really generous [emoji4][emoji106] How many people are you?
It's interesting to see how much variation there is in the size of houses being built.
For us, 140 sqm (1507 sq ft) is ideal.
We are also thinking about aging, and eventually, it will just be the two of us again. That’s why everything will be built on one level and adapted for accessibility.
