Which layout should I go for?

I am in the process of buying one of the attached 50-55 square meter 2 bed flats. They are both in small purpose built buildings. One has a small balcony.

I would like to maximise use of space. I would like to put in fitted wardrobes, study space in one of the bedrooms, have a small dining space in the kitchen/lounge room and possibly improve bathroom and kitchen units.


What are your ideas and which one would you recommend. Which one can I get most from the space?


I have attached the floor plans of the two potential flats. Thank you!

    Hi Anna,

    Defiantly the second option is the one. Having a balcony is like an extra room and you if its possible you could open the balcony door outwards that might give you a little extra space.

    Which way does #2 balcony face -as if it’s north that you’d only get early morning sunshine on it . If you are renting bed two out then having it separate would be better too - so lots to think about !

    On the surface flat 2 is the clear winner but aspect is everything. You’d really need the living/dining/kitchen to be south or west facing. When all your living space is in one room, you really need natural light.

    I think version 2 as well, looks as though you get more space for kitchen units, also makes sense having the 2nd bedroom next door if you’re wanting it as a dressing room / study. Plus the balcony will be nice as an extra, plus means you have presumably glass doors instead of just windows which will let in more light :)

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I was torn between balcony in 2nd option vs long kitchen/lounge room in 1st option which allows for some sort of separation between the 2 spaces. Hadn’t thought of lighting and which direction they both face but very helpful and will confirm!


    Bedrooms in the 2nd option seem longer/thiner - do you think it would be easy to get fitted wardrobes/storage in them both without making them claustrophobic/too small.

    I also prefer the 2nd option as having the living space separate to the bedroom space is ideal. You also have 2 storage cupboards in the hallway? You could utilise these for extra clothing or knock through from the small bedroom into the one cupboard to give a wardrobe space (hard without physically seeing it to know if that would work of course)

    • kitchen wise - yes it isn’t as long but it has a nice shape (plus the balcony!) and I think you could add a peninsular island to this to create a dining space. If it comes off the wall with seating then it take up less space than a dining table and will give you more living space. Get some gas lift padded comfy stools with foot rest and you won’t notice it’s not a standard dining table! Plus it’s extra cooking/prep space when you have company.
