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!

I don’t think the master bedroom needs to be smaller than the children’s rooms. Although children, especially teenagers, spend much more time in their rooms, the parents share the master bedroom (and use it for longer periods). A bed measuring 2x2 m (6.5x6.5 ft) that can be accessed from both sides, plus a wardrobe for two working adults, and space to store clothes that will be worn again, require a minimum size that a children’s room can be smaller than without becoming unsuitable. However, if more space is available, the size proportions should be more balanced, which I also agree with.

Maybe it was a bit more relaxed back then. But we were always expected to clean our rooms ourselves and keep closets like wardrobes tidy. My mother usually helped when we were younger, but especially later on, it was expected that we did it independently. We always had fairly large rooms, never less than 12m² (130 sq ft). Later, as a teenager, I had almost 16m² (170 sq ft) with old-style high ceilings. There was even a washbasin in the room, and a sofa still fit in.
