When buying or building your home, it is important that you choose a layout that works for you. With such a large variety in the market, it is important to not settle on choosing the layout for your new home- as it will affect your life for years to come. The last thing you want is to spend all that money on building your home and regretting the layout later down the track. We at CD Construction, the leading building contractors in Sydney, work with hundreds of clients to plan out their dream home as well as clients to layout their commercial buildings- taking every factor into account when designing the layout for them. We have provided a checklist for choosing the perfect house layout for your needs.
Bedrooms
When designing your home, the number of bedrooms is key. Make sure to think for the long term! If you plan on growing your family, ensure that you have enough bedrooms to account for it. If you are someone who usually has a guest over, a rule of thumb is to have enough bedrooms for everyone in your house plus another for guest. The extra bedroom can have multiple purposes- to ensure that all your space is utilised. In addition to the number of bedrooms, you must take into account the bedroom location. If you plan on having a nursery, ensure that it is relatively close to the master bedroom. If you have a double story house, having all the bedrooms on one floor is most convenient. Furthermore, you want to consider sunlight, and where you want your windows in your bedroom.
Bathrooms
The number of bathrooms is extremely important when deciding on your house layout. Not having enough bathrooms is a very common complaint. If you have a double story house, it is a good idea to have at least 2 bathrooms upstairs and at least one bathroom downstairs. The rule of thumb is having one bathroom for every two bedrooms. This way, you avoid having bathroom lines in the morning. A common trend is having his and her vanities in the master bedrooms, allowing for both partners to get ready without being in each other’s way.
Laundry
For many families, dirty laundry is almost never-ending. As such, it is important to have a house layout that includes a convenient laundry room. For two-story houses, a laundry room downstairs is most convenient, as it allows for multi-tasking between preparing food in the kitchen and washing clothes. You should choose the laundry room placement that is most convenient for you.
