we are planning similarly and have already received a non-binding proposal from a company.
Our budget is tight, so our house will probably be rather small.
The two children's rooms are each planned at 11.15 sqm (with a steep sloping roof, the actual floor area is 14.15 sqm (150 sq ft)).
Is that enough, or is it quite small?
It might be possible to take about 1 sqm (11 sq ft) each from the bathroom and the master bedroom...
I also always had a small room and it didn’t bother me. Still, considering the sizes houses are usually built in today...
Thanks and best regards,
LHT

I can understand if the house is generally small, but I have looked at so many large houses where the bathrooms are 15 m² (160 ft²) or larger, and the children’s rooms are only 8 or 10 m² (86 or 108 ft²). I just don’t get it. Why do people always lock their children up in better rabbit hutches?
In our case, the two children’s rooms are 18 and 25 m² (194 and 269 ft²) each (with sloping ceilings) within a total living area of 167 m² (1,797 ft²).

That sounds logical – but it isn’t. After all, you don’t need more expensive heating, stairs, bathroom, front door... just a few more bricks.
For us, an additional 20 sqm (215 sq ft) cost about 5,000 € – quite manageable, right?
Best regards,

We are planning to build a new house as well, but some time ago we added two children's bedrooms to our current home. Each room is 16 sqm (172 sq ft), and to be honest, I wouldn’t choose anything smaller either. When the children are still young, a small room is fine, but what happens when they grow older? I definitely don’t want my boys and their friends always sitting in the living room, so we opted for a small bedroom for them.

It always depends on the other rooms and how they are used...
11m² (about 118 sq ft) is really the minimum, but at least about 15m² (160 sq ft) of floor space is better in my opinion compared to an 11m² (118 sq ft) room with sloped ceilings...
It’s sufficient as long as the children have other spaces to retreat to...
Do they often do their homework at the kitchen table? Can the children sometimes sit at the dining table to play board games?
Is there perhaps a hobby room in the basement where a slot car track can be set up?
I also question whether children truly need more space as they get older... They don’t require much more room for toys like Playmobil and so on. A desk with a computer can fit in a small bedroom as well...
Much more important is the spatial separation between the children’s rooms and the parents’ bedroom... Ideally, the children’s rooms are not directly next to the parents’ room, or even better, not on the same floor at all ^^.
And having a separate bathroom (for example, a guest WC with a shower on the ground floor) that the teenager can primarily use is more important than having 2m² (22 sq ft) more bedroom space for the children...
