How to correctly choose the ideal house size for your family.

Building a house starts with a crucial decision: choosing the right size. A house that is too small will become uncomfortable in a few years, and one that is too large will result in high maintenance and heating costs. That is why it is important to find the right balance between needs, budget and comfort.

In general, the usable area is calculated according to the number of people in the family and the lifestyle. For a young family with 2 adults and 1 child, a house between 95–120 m² can be optimal. If the family has 2 children, the recommended area increases to 120–150 m². Open areas such as the living room with integrated kitchen can reduce the total need and provide a feeling of greater space.

It is important to clearly divide the living area (living room, kitchen, dining room) from the sleeping area (bedrooms and bathrooms). Hallways and passageways should be designed compactly so as not to consume unnecessary space. It is also a good idea to think ahead about whether you need a home office, a hobby room, or additional storage space.

Choosing the size of your home is not just a number, but an exercise in smart planning. Proper design allows you to live comfortably, without wasting space and without additional operating costs.
