Layout of rooms in the house. House layout - features for one-story and two-story buildings
At the same time, family members can do their own thing in the house. One is asleep, the other is doing his homework, the third is watching TV. At the same time, household members should not interfere with each other.
Everyone living in the house needs to allocate their own corner, and not necessarily a separate room. This can be a place for hobbies - your desk, closet or shelving.
In a house with the correct layout, guests from the hallway easily enter the living room and do not wander in search of a toilet.
Layout of a house, cottage
Fig. 1. An example of the layout of a one-story private house. Premises day zone: 1 - vestibule, entrance hall, 6 - living room, dining room, 3 - toilet, 14 - veranda. Rooms for night rest: 5,7,10 - bedrooms, 2 - dressing rooms, 8 - extended bathrooms. Economic zone: 11 - kitchen, 12 - pantry, 13 - garage, 4 - laundry, boiler room, workshop.In order for a built house to become the embodiment of comfort, coziness and economy, knowledge is needed standard layout rules:
1. The internal space of the house is conventionally divided into zones, Fig. 1: residential and economic.
The living area, in turn, is divided into daytime and evening.
The day area of the premises consists of a vestibule, an entrance hall, a hall, a living room, a dining room, a veranda, and a toilet.
Rooms for night rest are bedrooms, dressing rooms, extended bathrooms.
The utility area includes a kitchen, pantry, garage, laundry, boiler room, workshop.
When arranging rooms, you should also pay attention to the position of the sun at certain hours, the view from the window.
2. Building a house with a minimum of hallways and corridors reduces the cost of living space.
The number and area of corridors can be reduced by combining the functions of rooms: design some rooms as walk-throughs or arrange a corner for work in the living room or bedroom.
The most advantageous option is considered to be a layout in which the kitchen, being a utility room, is adjacent to the living area of the dining room and common room.
In the house of a small area of the premises of the day zone: a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and even a hallway or a hall, it is advantageous to place it in one volume - a common open space, not divided by partitions, Fig. 1.
3. It is advisable that couples and other adult family members have their own separate rooms in the house.
The largest room - the living room - will be a common area where everyone can gather to relax.
It is convenient to have one more room in the house - a guest bedroom (study).
4. If it is planned to settle several generations in the house (for example, elderly parents - adult children - small grandchildren), then it is necessary to make the territory of each family as "autonomous" as possible (at least its own bathroom and bedroom, and at the most - a separate entrance ).
Moreover, the premises for elderly parents are best located on the ground floor (pos. 5 and 3 in Fig. 1).
5. It is better to make two front doors in the house., one from the side of the entrance to the site, the second from the terrace, or from the opposite side of the house, for household needs. Also, the number and location of entrances is affected by the composition of the family (from paragraph 4 of this article).
If the front door is placed on the side facade, then it is often possible to get by with one door to enter the house, both from the side of the street and from the side of the plot.
6. Staircase (if any) should be lit with natural light(for security reasons). Therefore, in principle, it does not matter where to orient it, but the windows illuminating the staircase space must be required.
When placing a staircase, it is important to understand whether you want it to be an active element of the interior or not. If you want, then it is better to place it in the dining room, living room. If not, then in the hallway, corridor (item 12 in Fig. 1).
7. The project can provide for the possibility of expanding the area of the house as the family grows, the children grow up. The increase in size is possible due to an extension to the house or the arrangement of the attic.
Anyway the expansion option should be foreseen in advance.
For example, the house layout project in Fig. 1 provides for the possibility of arranging an attic. For this, a space has been reserved for the stairs, which is still used as a storage room, pos. 12, a large angle of inclination of the roof has been chosen, and there are places left in the roof structure for inserting windows, etc.
It is irrational to build a large house at once without the need.
8. The fireplace is usually located in the "common" rooms(dining room, living room). Whether a fireplace is needed in the house and where, it is necessary to determine before choosing a project.
The installation of a fireplace in an already built house will require the installation of a chimney and a chimney, which is not always possible to do (the pipe, for example, will need to be carried along the facade of the house, etc.).
9. House of simple rectangular shape with a minimum number of corners without ledges, bay windows, balconies Such a house has less heat loss through external fences. The shape of the house in the form of a rectangle with an aspect ratio of no more than 1: 1.5, with the orientation of the long side to the south, will allow more full use of the solar heat.
10. Simple form roofs make construction cheaper.
11. The correct orientation of the house to the sun and wind reduces the cost of heating and air conditioning. Living rooms in the house are oriented mainly to the south in order to maximize the use of the thermal energy of the sun. It is better to locate utility rooms on the north side.
12. Designing simple, short utility lines at home can significantly reduce costs and increase reliability. For the convenience of carrying out communications, the bathrooms in a two-story house should be located one above the other, and on the first floor of the bathroom, boiler room - closer to the kitchen.
13 For an economy class house give preference to a built-in garage in front of a separate one: it is easier to heat it and you can place part of engineering systems at home, saving floor space. In addition, you will be able to get into the garage directly from your home, without going outside.
14. Give up the basement: the cost of construction and high-quality waterproofing of the basement is 1.5-2 times higher than the cost of building a floor. Instead, plan a spacious pantry on the ground floor of the house, placing it on the north side.
Move some of the auxiliary rooms to
15. Considering the project, pay attention to the planning and design solutions that provide soundproofing of the night zone premises.
Remember that extraneous sounds penetrate into these rooms through all enclosing structures: walls, ceilings, doors, windows, as well as ventilation and other openings.
In general, the more massive and thicker the walls, ceilings, doors and windows, the quieter the bedroom will be.
For good sound insulation between the rooms of the living area and the bedroom, there must be two lines of doors and at least a small corridor (item 9 in Fig. 1).
If the bedrooms are located on the upper floor, then on reinforced concrete floor - necessary condition good sound insulation night rest areas.
16. Build an energy efficient home.
When choosing a project, check the main parameters of the building, indicating the Estimate the average annual amount of energy required for heating, water heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In the plans The Russian government in the coming years to equalize domestic gas prices with European ones.
17. Equip the heating system with thermostats which will allow program the desired temperature in each room separately. Reducing the room temperature by 1 ° C saves 5% of heating energy.
Application for home heating, and in the ventilation system of premises and - all this also allows you to save heat.
18. The front door to the house from the street must be separated from the premises of the house thermal sluice - vestibule... Due to the sequential opening of two doors in the vestibule, cold air from the street does not penetrate into the house. As a thermal sluice, it is allowed to arrange a closed and insulated veranda or a vestibule - a hallway at the entrance to the house.
19. The balcony of the house must have an independent support in the form of pillars or rest on the enclosing structures of the first floor. The base of the balcony should not be a continuation of the floor, which means - "cut through" the wall, forming a bridge of cold.
20. Remember the larger the glazing area, the more costs will be for heating and air conditioning. The ratio of the area of the glazed surface of the window to the area of the floor must be at least 1/8.
21. Deciduous trees with large crowns can provide shade to the house during the hot summer months and reduce energy consumption for air conditioning up to 50%.
During the winter, when deciduous trees lose their crown, sunlight unhindered hits the surface of the walls and heats them, providing the home with additional heat energy and helping to reduce heating costs.
Conifers help keep the house cool from the cold winter winds.
22. Build an environmentally friendly home.
Choose environmentally friendly building materials. More than 50% of all building materials on the domestic market cannot be called safe for health. Many of them are unable to pass even the simplest environmental impact assessment.
Do not buy into the "fairy tales" of sellers, the prefix "eco" in the name, study the labeling - check in regulatory documents(GOST, TU), is there any phenol, formaldehyde or other harmful substances in the material.
For about 30 years in the world there is such a thing as sick buildings syndrome. The reason for this is the poor air quality in the dwellings. According to environmentalists, indoor air is 4-6 times dirtier and 8-10 times more toxic than outdoor air.
Features of the layout of a two- or three-story private house
Fig. 2. Ground floor plan two-storey house: 3 - bathroom with shower 3.9 m 2; 4 - study (guest bedroom) 11.8 m 2; 7 - pantry 2.7 m 2; 8 - boiler room 6.6 m 2; 10 - terrace 43.6 m 2;
Fig. 3. Second floor plan two-storey house: 13 - dressing room 3.5 m 2; 14 - bathroom with bath 5.9 m 2; 18 - bathroom with a bath-sauna cabin 8.5 m 2; 19 - laundry room 4.6 m 2;
In two or three-storey houses, it is convenient to make a staircase as a natural border between the day and evening zones, pos. 11 in Fig. 3. The premises of the day zone, as a rule, are located on the ground floor, Fig. 2. Bedrooms, dressing rooms, night zone bathrooms are placed on the upper floors of the house, Fig. 3.
True, such a division of premises by floors is not always convenient and possible. Often, on the first floor, you have to make another bedroom, position 4 in Fig. 2. The lower floor usually has a bedroom for elderly parents or guests.
In a multi-storey building, as in a large ventilation channel, there is a natural draft, under the action of which air from the first floor rushes up the lumen of the stairs to the upper floors and the attic.
The layout option with an entrance door to the floor provides the most efficient operation and a simple device for natural ventilation of the attic and upper floors of the house.
Bathrooms in the house
In a multi-storey building bathrooms should be on each floor.
On the ground floor, the bathroom is located so that it is convenient for guests to use it. It is better if the entrance to the guest bathroom is not visible from the living room.
If a bedroom is made in the house on the ground floor, then the bathroom should be located next to it, so that from the bedroom to the bathroom it is not required to walk past the guests through the living room. Guests can also use this bathroom.
In the large bathroom in the bedroom area, item 18 in Fig. 3, it is convenient to place equipment for SPA procedures - for example, a bathroom with hydromassage or a steam bath-sauna booth.
Service premises
The boiler room is usually provided on the first floor of the house. Often a room is allocated to place the boiler in a garage attached to the house. A solid fuel boiler room must be entered from the outside, from the side of the fuel warehouse.
It is natural to place the pantry for products near the kitchen.
It is convenient to have two dressing rooms in the house - at the entrance to the house and in the bedroom area.
Near the dressing room in the bedroom area, where linen and daily clothes are stored, it is convenient to have a washing machine, dryer and ironing board, pos. 19 in Fig. 3.
Do not place laundry in a garage. The constant need to carry underwear far away, and even up the stairs, will not please the mistress of the house.
Windows in the house
![](https://i1.wp.com/domekonom.su/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/dom-dvuhetazhnyi-okno-gostinnoi.jpg)
Large glazing area in the room increases the cost of building and operating a house:
- The cost of building a glazed block is higher than the cost of building a wall of the same area.
- Heating costs in winter and air conditioning in summer are increasing.
But many owners decide to give up economic benefit for the range of feelings experienced in a cozy living room flooded with light with a wonderful view of the garden through large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Often large windows and glass doors for access to the garden, terrace or balcony are arranged not only from the living room, but also from the bedrooms and the kitchen.
Listen to your feelings and to the opinion of the household, where they would like to have such windows. When choosing, consider also the climate and the view from the window.
![](https://i2.wp.com/domekonom.su/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/okno-naprotiv-vhoda1.jpg)
If, when entering a house, room or corridor, the gaze rests on the window on the opposite wall, and behind it you can see the garden, then the rooms seem more spacious and make a good impression.
From the outside to the windows of a private house it is recommended to install roller shutters. Closed roller shutters not only protect windows from burglary, but in severe frosts they reduce heat loss through the windows, and in summer heat they reduce overheating of the house by the sun's rays. It is better to foresee the installation of roller shutters on windows in advance, at the design stage of the house.
Watch a video lesson on planning a one-story house with an attic:
What rooms in the house can be walk-through
To make the house seem spacious, the architects recommend combining the premises of the day zone - making them walk-throughs.
In spacious rooms it is easier to breathe, they give a feeling of freedom.
Many have a prejudice against walk-through rooms. Indeed, in small apartments with a high population density, a walk-through room is a big minus in the layout. It is quite another matter in private houses, where the number and area of premises per resident, as a rule, is much larger.
Connecting and uniting rooms, arranging a suite or alcove reduce the area of corridors and halls, provide greater convenience and comfort of life in the house, and also allows you to create a unique interior in these rooms.
Connecting kitchen, dining room and living room
The most popular option for combining premises in an economy class house is to combine the kitchen, dining room and living room ( Fig. 2 pos. 5 and 6). Such a layout, as already mentioned above, creates a spacious day zone in the house, and also makes it possible for communication between people who are in the premises of this zone.
Cooking processes in modern kitchens are fast enough. The release and spread of unpleasant odors and other harmful substances is minimal. For this reason, there is no particular need to separate the kitchen from other rooms.
Food in the kitchen is usually prepared by the hostess or the owner of the house. It is not humane to deprive them of contact with other household members during cooking.
Convenient when the dining room is located between the kitchen and the living room. A table and meals are served from the kitchen. Households and guests move from the living room to the dining room. This arrangement of the premises of the daytime zone corresponds to the natural course of events. Life in the dining room continues even after the end of the meal. See layout in fig. 1 and 2 above in the article.
It should be noted that an open kitchen requires increased attention to maintaining cleanliness and order there.
Combining dining room, living room and study - library
In a large house, where important guests are often received and food is prepared by the cook - the cook, the dining room, living room and study or library are combined. The premises are connected by a suite - when the transitions between rooms are on the same axis, as in old palaces and estates. The living room is located in the center of this suite.
The combination of these rooms creates a presentable, formal area in the house, in which there is where to dine, relax in the living room by the fireplace, or retire and negotiate in the office.
From the bedroom to the dressing room and further to the bathroom
In the bedroom of a married couple, they often arrange a private area of a dressing room and a bathroom, as, for example, in Fig. 3 above, positions 13, 14 and 15.
It can be convenient to make a walk-through dressing room. This layout is good in that the number of doors in the bedroom is reduced, as well as the noise of water from the bathroom is weaker.
They usually do not spend much time in the dressing room, therefore, the owners of the bedroom will not experience any inconvenience from the walk-through dressing room.
We go from one utility room to another
It is convenient to have utility rooms in one place in the house. It is more profitable, for example, to go to the boiler room through the laundry, and to the laundry through the dressing room, than to arrange a common corridor and separate doors to each room.
Convenient niches in the house
Wardrobes and other interior elements are more convenient and profitable to place in niches. I recommend that you think over the placement in advance and provide for the device of niches in the premises of the house.
Built-in wardrobe can be placed in a niche with a depth of at least 70 cm. If the length of the cabinet is not large, then the front niche is closed with swing doors, as well as roller shutters or blinds.
For the installation of sliding doors, the depth of the niche should be increased by another 8-10 cm.
Niche depth for bookshelves 30-35 cm.
A niche for a cozy sleeping area should accommodate a bed 160-190 wide cm and two bedside tables. Niche depth no more than 90 cm.
It is convenient to place a workstation with a desk and a computer in a niche with a depth of 80-110 cm and a width of at least 150 cm.
Placing a shower in a niche allows you to abandon the purchase of a shower cabin. Comfortable shower dimensions in a niche at least 100x110 cm.
When building a house, its future owners dream that it will be comfortable and cozy for every family member. Proper home layout is an important step towards achieving this result. As part of the design, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances and expert advice so that the housing is functional and comfortable.
Features of the layout of the house
When designing, it is important to consider every detail. Practice shows that if the layout of a private house is initially incorrect, then it is difficult to enter into the project the initially missed premises, interior elements, and so on.
- First you need to decide whether the house will be one- or two-story, whether it is planned to equip the attic.
- The living space must be divided into night and day zones. The first includes bedrooms, which are often located in a calm, quiet part of the house. The day zone includes the premises in which family members spend most of their time (kitchen, living room, hallway).
- The layout of the house should include space for stairs if the house is going to be two-story.
- With a large area of housing, at least two bathrooms should be provided.
- Determine the location of the rooms, taking into account the lighting, views from the windows.
- If the rooms are small due to a lack of space, large windows will help to visually increase the space, which must be immediately indicated in the project.
- If it is necessary to optimize the space, it is recommended to create a house plan that assumes a single volume of the hall, living room and kitchen.
- If you are building a house in an area with a harsh climate, provide a double vestibule - it will become an additional way of heating your home. To save space, it can be made as an extension.
Layout of a one-story house
Such buildings have advantages in the form of lightness of structures, savings on their construction. The plan of a one-story house is created taking into account the following nuances:
- Foundation design, on the basis of which constructive solutions are implemented.
- Determination of the shape of the structure.
- The distribution of housing space, in which it is necessary to take into account the size, purpose, placement of premises and the relationship between them.
- Determination of the location of the building and all rooms to the wind rose and the cardinal points.
- Taking into account the peculiarities of the surrounding landscape.
- Linking the building to communications, their supply to the house, the convenience and safety of their use.
- The presence of additional buildings on the site, their features.

Layout of a two-story house
The advantages of such a structure are its usable area and the possibility of saving site space. The plan of a two-story house has its own characteristics:
- Designing a reliable foundation with strong supports that will support a two-story structure.
- The project of a large house on two floors should include a plan for the supply and distribution of communication systems, which in such a structure have a branched and more complex scheme. Additional hardware may be required.
- When creating a building plan, you need to consider whether there are family members with additional needs. If there are any, rooms for them are set up on the ground floor and, if necessary, equipped with additional equipment.
- It is worth considering what the staircase will be in the house, what area will be allocated for it - these data must be entered into the plan of a two-story house.
- If there are additional premises in the building with a specific purpose (gym, sauna, storerooms, pool, billiard room, etc.), they must be included in the project.

Layout of a house with an attic
A building with an attic operated room is warmer, it has more usable space. The plan of a house with an attic has some features:
- It is necessary to immediately calculate and take into account the additional load on the entire building and its foundation.
- It is necessary to determine the height of the attic, which should be at least 2.5 m, if you count from floor level to ceiling.
- The type of roof structure needs to be developed. It can be gable, adding 67% of the space from the base of the house, "broken", allowing you to increase the area by 90% of the base area. To increase the space by 100%, you need to raise the roof to a height of 1.5 m.
- Determine how communications will be carried out to the attic.
- It is necessary to provide a staircase to the room, internal partitions in it.

How to arrange the rooms in the house?
To do this correctly, it is necessary to take into account factors such as the purpose of the premises and their functionality, the preferences of family members. The following recommendations will be useful:
- When drafting a small house, abandon hallways to increase the space. Consider a large walk-through room instead.
- If the building has a small area, make the rooms adjacent.
- To optimize space, rooms can be combined, but they should have the same or similar purpose - for example, combine a dining room with a kitchen, a bathroom with a bedroom, a living room with a dining room.
- If there is a lot of space, it can be zoned, which will allow you to get rid of interior doors, partitions.
Hallway layout
This is one of the main areas in the house, thanks to which a general perception of it is created. Be it the layout country house or main housing, ideas for creating a hallway can be used as follows:
- Combining with the kitchen. This option allows you to increase the space. If you choose it, the style of the rooms can be the same, but you need to mark the boundaries between them. In this case, the kitchen should have a powerful exhaust system so that things in the hallway are not saturated with third-party odors.
- If there is enough space, you can make the hallway a separate part of the house. Think in advance whether there will be additional structures in it, what kind of furniture will be located there.
- It is desirable that the hallway be square or rectangular, but not narrow.
Hall layout
The living room is a place where there should be a place to relax for each member of the family. There are a number of design guidelines that can help you achieve this:
- If there are children in the house, they need to equip a corner with toys. It should be warm, comfortable - you can lay a carpet in this place.
- If you need to place a desktop, a computer, it is better to do this in the far corner.
- If you create a project small house, then the hall will not have large dimensions. To use the space properly, you can create a studio consisting of a living room and a kitchen. Transforming furniture will allow to increase the area.
- In large living rooms, it is advisable to have two windows to provide good natural light. Minimalism is not suitable for large halls, but an excessive amount of furniture reduces the space.
Kitchen layout
Family members spend a lot of time in this room, so it should be functional and comfortable. There are some tips on how to correctly draw up a kitchen project:
- It can be divided into a dining room and a work area without using partitions, doors, making zoning using design, interior items.
- If the room is large, two windows can be provided in it.
- When planning your kitchen, consider where the furniture and appliances will be placed.
- The design of a small kitchen can be made angular - move the working part to the corner. Another option is linear placement - along one wall.
Bedroom layout
The resting place should be cozy and comfortable. The following recommendations will help you to correctly draw up a bedroom project:
- If the room is small, it is better to opt for multifunctional pieces of furniture. The distance between them must be at least 70 cm.
- A bed in a small room can be placed against a wall. To save space, you can choose the version with a lifting mechanism.
- Bedside tables can be replaced with hanging shelves.
- In a small bedroom, you should not place large decorative elements, but they are appropriate for a large room.
- In a large bedroom, all pieces of furniture should not be placed around the perimeter. Such a room can be divided into sleeping and rest areas.
Bathroom layout
As part of the design of this room, some features must be observed. The project of a private house should take into account the following nuances:
- If the house is two-story, bathrooms are located on each floor. If there is sufficient space, a bath and toilet are additionally thought out for each guest room.
- In a small house, the bathtub can be replaced with a shower stall.
- In the project, it is necessary to take into account how communications will be divorced - water, light, drain, if necessary - heating.
Children's room layout
The designers have some advice regarding this room:
- Taking into account the age of the child in order to provide the room with a play and / or study area.
- The sleeping area in the children's bedroom should be separated to help the child fall asleep faster.
- Regardless of whether a project of a country house or main housing is being created, if a room is set up for a teenager, it should have a relaxation or communication area - for example, it can be a sofa with armchairs and / or a table.
- Lighting fixtures in the room are located in each zone.
- Rooms where family members visit more often are recommended to be oriented to the south so that they receive more natural warmth and light.
- The layout of your own house should be carried out taking into account the level of groundwater and the possibility of displacement of rocks.
- To facilitate the building, frame or wooden options for the construction of the house are selected.
- If a building is being erected on a recently acquired site, it is advisable to observe it for several seasons, and only then create a project. This will allow you to explore all of its features.
House layout is the basis for future construction. All the little things should be taken into account in it, so that later you do not encounter difficulties when erecting a building. It is important to design in detail all the rooms, their connection with each other. Taking into account all the design features will help build a house in which all the ideas of the owners are realized. Such housing will be comfortable and cozy for all its residents.
The size and layout of any home must be rational. Sometimes it’s worth wondering if you really need a huge house? And what is it like to clean it, and walking from one room to another is not so convenient. A huge house (if there is no special evidence for that, for example, the large family) is not so easy to use, as evidenced by the not too happy reviews of the owners of such buildings. And the cost of heating such a dwelling is probably not small. It is worth remembering about the considerable real estate tax, which is directly related to its area.
Choosing the best arrangement of rooms in two-storey houses, for any size you can choose a good one, let it be: 6 by 6, 10 by 10, in wooden houses everything is possible!
A similar question concerns the number of storeys of housing: is the second floor really necessary? If the family is rather modest in size, and does not need a large area, wouldn't it be better for it to get by with a one-story dwelling?
![](https://i0.wp.com/domsdelat.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D1%81_%D0%BB%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B5%D0%B9_%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BE.jpg)
Although, of course, a two-story building has its significant advantages. For the arrangement of the same living space in terms of footage, it will be cheaper. The amount of heat loss will also be smaller. In such a structure, you can think of a more interesting and original layout. And for a house on one floor, you don't need to be puzzled.
Private house: room layout
Which rooms in the house are required and which are desirable? It is advisable to have a room for washing, ironing and drying. For this, one utility room can be allocated and equipped - a laundry. For its location, it is not necessary to choose the best place, the northern part of the house is also suitable for it.

The boiler room can be a source of noise, so it is best not to locate it near the lounges. According to the rules, gas equipment (boiler) of a certain power (up to 60 kW), it is quite permissible to locate in.
Many homeowners dream of planning their dream home. More often this applies to residents of city apartments.

In fact, a full-fledged floor is much more comfortable and more convenient than an attic. But construction will cost significantly less. You also need to decide on, or rather, with its presence. Someone thinks that they cannot do without it, but some believe that it blocks the light of other rooms, and prefer an additional room around the walls to it - spacious, with large windows, heated and comfortable.
Any family will need a spacious storage room, at least one, and preferably more. If the house has two floors, then it is convenient to equip it under.
Often in advance, even at the stage of planning rooms in the house, the issue of the need for a workshop for the owner (or a room for needlework for the hostess) is decided. If you don't think about it right away, then later you will have to sacrifice another room for her, redoing it.
Layout in a private house: vestibule or hallway
![](https://i2.wp.com/domsdelat.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BD__%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B9_%D0%B2_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0.jpg)
The entrance to the dwelling should not lead directly to the living room. The necessary hallway is required, or something like a vestibule. Whether to equip a vestibule at home, everyone decides for himself. Many people think that it is much warmer with a vestibule. Others are convinced that the double door copes with this role remarkably. It is not so pleasant to dress and undress in an unheated vestibule. Often on the side of the vestibules there are those whose hallway is not heated, or too small.
It is much more convenient to have a spacious, non-walk-through and warm room as a hallway. With this, no additional vestibule is required. Lovers of gardening work are considered to be the supporters of the latter. In the "city" house without it, they do well. This room has a completely different meaning in areas with a harsh climate - there its presence is a necessity.
In a dwelling without a vestibule, the hallway must be equipped with doors to other rooms: otherwise, frosty air will flow into the living quarters every time the front door is opened. If it is difficult to equip such a hallway, completely closed, then you cannot do without a vestibule.

Ceiling height planning in projects

Many do not even think about how high the ceiling should be in the house.... Those who have lived in a room with low ceilings for a long time often prefer them higher than necessary. Meanwhile, too high ceilings can cause unnecessary expenses. The cost of building large, and, subsequent houses is growing.
Are there ideal ceiling heights? This is a complex parameter, for the calculation of which it is necessary to take into account the area of \ u200b \ u200bthe premises. It should not resemble a deep well, at the same time, it is not very pleasant if the ceiling is pressing.
In other words, the larger a particular room is, the higher the ceiling is desirable in it. This means that on one floor it is better to make them approximately equal in area, so that all of them are suitable for the height of the ceiling. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the finish coating will "eat up" a few centimeters of height.
Not too high ceilings can limit the use of oversized and voluminous chandeliers, as tall people can hurt their heads. And for too high ceilings, you can also order high, elongated ones. But you can also use ordinary, standard products.
Balcony layout in a private house
![](https://i2.wp.com/domsdelat.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%D0%B2_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B5.jpg)
Is it really necessary in a private house? Many people who have it say that they practically do not use it: it is easier for them to go out into the yard. If you make a balcony, then it is better to immediately plan it large, and not three square meters.
There should be enough space for a couple of sun loungers, a comfortable chair, a table, and flower pots.
A spacious balcony is very relevant in cases where the house is located within the city limits, with the actual absence of its own yard. Combined - can be arranged above, located close to the house. not too rational.

In quality, it will not be very effective, but its cost may turn out to be considerable.
But if you really want to have it, then you need to build: it gives the home an incomparable charm. It is important to take care of fire safety. It is good when there are areas in the building that are not subject to fire. It can be a completely plastered corridor, or it can be entirely a kind of fireproof cuts.
We must say right away that you can only draw up an approximate plan on your own. When you do this, go to the architect and together already determine the exact area of the rooms, the connection between them and, in general, the whole plan of the house.
Architect services
The architect can point out some impossible things. For example, too low an attic, too wide corridors that take up extra space that can be allocated for other rooms, etc. Also, the architect will determine the optimal thickness of the load-bearing walls, which depends on the number of partitions, number of storeys, area and arrangement of rooms. If there are a lot of partitions, you need to either reduce the thickness of the load-bearing walls (if the partitions can cope with the load), or remove unnecessary partitions.
Basement
Do you need a basement? It is used as a storage room, workshop, boiler room or cellar. Especially resourceful ones equip it as a recreation area.
The basement can only be under a part of the house. It all depends on the purpose and the need for additional space under the house.
Hallway
If the hallway has its own corridor to the rest of the rooms, its area will start from 4-6 m 2.
If it is combined with a corridor near the living room or bathroom, then more space should be allocated for clothes and shoes.
Living room
It is best if the corridor from the hallway leads directly to the living room. Guests are not confused and the layout is simpler. Living room area from 15 m 2, depending on how many simultaneous guests you will receive.
The living room should be located on the sunny side (or partially on it), since it is a day room that needs natural light. It is also better to place the living room closer to the bathroom so that guests do not look for a toilet.
Bathroom and toilet
Better to make a separate bathroom. So, a person who wants to use the toilet will not wait while someone buys in the bathroom. If the combined bathroom cannot be avoided, it is better to fence off the bath or shower with a sliding partition or curtain.
If the bathroom is separate, it is enough to take 2-3 m 2 under the toilet. The average bathroom area is 4-6 m 2.
Bedroom
The bedroom should be on the sunny side. For those who like to sleep, the windows should be positioned so that the morning sun does not hit the face. The average bedroom area is 12-20 m 2.
Kitchen and dining room
The kitchen and dining room can be combined if you allocate more space for the room. 15-20 squares is enough. If separately, then 10-12 m 2 can be given to the spacious kitchen, and about 8-10 m 2 to the dining room. If there is a lot of space, it is better to separate the kitchen so that fumes and heat from cooking do not penetrate into the rest of the rooms.
With sufficient lighting, the kitchen and dining room can be anywhere on the plan of the house.
The closer the kitchen is to the bathroom, the more it saves the length of the water supply.
Attic
The attic is often either a second guest bedroom or a children's bedroom. In the attic, the main thing is the height of the attic itself and the size of the windows. Windows can interfere with an abundance of light, so you should carefully study the cardinal points and the location of large windows. The average height of the attic is 2.5 m 2 in the center and about 1.7-1.8 m 2 around the perimeter. Then it is convenient to walk on it.
Veranda
Dimensions 5 × 2 meters are perfect for a small house. It is best to locate the veranda on the east or west side, next to the kitchen. Under the veranda is required light foundation and roof. In summer, the veranda serves as an external dining room with a pleasant view of the courtyard.
Children's room
The main thing is that the children's room is on the sunny side and close to the bedroom and living room (so that parents, if something happens, can quickly find out what is happening with the children).
Second floor
The second floor of a two-storey house allows you to place 2 bedrooms and a nursery, as well as an additional bathroom for the owners. This is the best option for a young family without senior citizens. Elderly parents need a bedroom on the first floor so that they do not waste energy climbing up to the second.
You need to be careful with the stairs: children who jump and run everywhere can hit its edges. Avoid sharp corners whenever possible. The stairs should take up a little space. The type of stairs is also important (in a small house, it is worth focusing on optimality in terms of size). But if the house is large, then there can be any staircase. The main thing is not to interfere with the passage.
In a one-story house, you can plan a floor height of 3 m (from floor to ceiling). But if there are two floors, then their height can be made 2.7 m. In this case, less material will be spent on building a floor, and it will be 2 steps less to go up.
The construction of your own living quarters has many nuances. Before the start of construction, the location of the future cottage, its size and number of storeys are selected. A budgetary and practical option would be to opt for a one-story house, which is easier and faster to plan than. Various dimensions and variety of design solutions will allow everyone to find a project.
There are a number of advantages small house with an attic:
- high speed of construction and project preparation;
- less material costs for foundation and building materials;
- it is easier to provide the entire room with the necessary communications;
- you can order a ready-made project of economy or luxury class;
- the building can be erected on almost any type of soil, without fear of destruction or settlement of the house.
