The layout of the 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 sleeping, the other is doing homework, the third is watching TV. At the same time, households should not interfere with each other.
Each living in the house needs to allocate their own corner, and not necessarily a separate room. This may be a place for hobbies - your own table, wardrobe or bookcase.
In the house with the correct layout, guests from the hallway easily get into the living room and do not wander in search of a toilet.
Layout of the house, cottage
Fig. 1. An example of the layout of a one-story private house. Premises day zone: 1 - vestibule, hallway, 6 - living room, dining room, 3 - toilet, 14 - porch. 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.For a built house to become the embodiment of comfort, coziness and economy, knowledge is needed standard planning rules:
1. The internal space of the house is conditionally divided into zones, Fig. 1: residential and household.
The residential area, in turn, is divided into daytime and evening.
The day area of \u200b\u200bthe premises consists of a vestibule, an entrance hall, a hall, a living room, a dining room, a veranda, a toilet.
Rooms for night rest - these are bedrooms, dressing rooms, extended bathrooms.
The economic area includes a kitchen, pantry, garage, laundry, boiler room, workshop.
When arranging the rooms, one should also pay attention to the position of the sun at one time or another, the view from the window.
2. Building a house with a minimum of halls and corridors reduces the cost of living space.
The number and area of \u200b\u200bcorridors can be reduced by combining the functions of the rooms: to design some rooms through the passage or to 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, as an utility room, adjoins the living area of \u200b\u200bthe dining room and common room.
In a house with a small area of \u200b\u200bthe living area: a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and even an entrance hall or a hall, it is advantageous to place it in one volume - a common open space, not separated 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 room where everyone can gather to relax.
In the house it is convenient to have another room - a guest bedroom (study).
4. If it is planned to settle several generations in a 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, bedroom, and at most a separate entrance )
Moreover, premises for elderly parents are best located on the ground floor (items 5 and 3 in Fig. 1).
5. In the house it is better to make two entrance doors, one from the entrance to the plot, the second from the terrace, or from the opposite side of the house, for household needs. Also, the composition of the family (from clause 4 of this article) affects the number and location of entrances.
If the front door is placed on the side facade, then often manage to get by with one door to enter the house, both from the street, and from the site.
6. The staircase (if any) should be lit with natural light. (for security reasons). Therefore, in principle, it does not matter where to orient it, but windows illuminating the staircase should 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 (pos. 12 in Fig. 1).
7. The project may provide for the possibility of expanding the area of \u200b\u200bthe house as the family grows, children grow up. An increase in size is possible due to an extension to the house or the arrangement of an attic.
Anyway expansion option should be provided in advance.
For example, the house planning project in Fig. 1 provides for the possibility of arranging an attic. To do this, reserved a place for the staircase, which is still used as a storage room, item 12, a large angle of inclination of the roof is selected, and in the roof structure there are places for windows to be inserted, etc.
To build immediately a large house without the need for irrational.
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 chimney, which is not always possible (a pipe, for example, will need to be carried out along the facade of the house, etc.).
9. The house is a simple rectangular shape with a minimum number of corners without protrusions, bay windows, balconies. Such a house has less heat loss through the external fencing. 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 make better use of solar heat.
10. The simple shape of the roof reduces the cost of construction.
11. Proper orientation of the house in the sun and wind reduces the cost of heating and air conditioning. The living rooms in the house are oriented primarily to the south in order to maximize the use of the thermal energy of the sun. Household premises are best located on the north side.
12. Designing simple, short engineering communications Homes significantly reduces costs and increases reliability. For the convenience of communications, the bathrooms in the two-story house should be located one above the other, and on the ground floor the rooms of the bathroom and boiler room should be closer to the kitchen.
13 For the home, economy class give preference to the built-in garage standing separately: it is easier to heat and it can accommodate part of the engineering systems at home, saving space. In addition, you can get into the garage directly from the house, without going outside.
14. Refuse 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, it is better to 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. When considering a project, pay attention to planning and design solutions that ensure soundproofing of the night zone.
Remember that extraneous sounds penetrate these rooms through all the enclosing structures: walls, floors, doors, windows, as well as ventilation and other openings.
In general, the thicker and thicker the walls, floors, 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 door lines and at least a small corridor (item 9 in Fig. 1).
If the bedrooms are located on the top floor, then on reinforced concrete floors - a necessary condition for good sound insulation night rest areas.
16. Build an energy-efficient home.
When choosing a project, check the basic parameters of the building, indicating Estimate the average annual amount of energy needed for heating, water heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In the plans Russian government in the coming years, equalize domestic gas prices with European prices.
17. Equip the heating system with thermostatsthat will allowprogram the desired temperature in each room separately. Lowering the temperature in the room by 1 ° C saves 5% of heating energy.
Application for heating the house, and in the ventilation system of rooms and - all this also saves heat.
18. The front door to the house from the street should be separated from the premises of the house thermal gateway - vestibule. Due to the sequential opening of two doors in the vestibule, cold air from the street does not penetrate the house. As a heat lock, it is allowed to arrange at the entrance to the house a closed and insulated veranda or vestibule - an entrance hall.
19. The balcony of the house should have independent support in the form of pillars or be based on the building envelope of the first floor. The base of the balcony should not be a continuation of the ceiling, which means - "cut through" the wall, forming a bridge of cold.
20. Remember the larger the glazing area, the greater the costfor heating and air conditioning. The ratio of the area of \u200b\u200bthe glazed window surface to the floor area should be at least 1/8.
21. Deciduous trees with a large crown can create a shade for the house in the hot summer months and reduce energy consumption for air conditioning up to 50%.
During winter, when deciduous trees lose their crown, sunlight freely enters the surface of the walls and heats them, providing the house with additional thermal energy and helping to reduce heating costs.
Coniferous trees help protect the house from the cold winter winds and prevent it from cooling.
22. Build an environmentally friendly home.
Choose environmentally friendly materials for construction. More than 50% of all building materials in the domestic market can not be called safe for health. Many of them cannot even pass the simplest environmental assessment.
Do not buy the “fairy tales” of sellers, the prefix “eco” in the name, study the labeling - check in the regulatory documents (GOST, TU) for phenol, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances in the material.
For about 30 years in the world there is such a thing as a syndrome of sick buildings. The reason for this phenomenon is poor air quality in homes. According to environmentalists, home air is 4-6 times dirtier and 8-10 times more toxic than street air.
Features of the layout of a two-three-story private house
Fig. 2. Ground floor plan two-story 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-story house: 13 - wardrobe 3,5 m 2; 14 - bathroom with bathtub 5.9 m 2; 18 - a bathroom with a 8.5 bath cabin m 2; 19 - laundry 4.6 m 2;
In two-three-story houses, it is convenient to make a staircase, pos. 11 in Fig. 3, a natural boundary between the day and evening zones. The premises of the day zone are usually located on the ground floor, Fig. 2. Bedrooms, dressing rooms, and night zone bathrooms are located 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 ground floor you have to make another bedroom, pos. 4 in Fig. 2. The lower floor usually has a bedroom for elderly parents or for guests.
In a multi-storey building, as in a large ventilation channel, there is a natural draft, under the influence of which air from the first floor rushes up the clearance 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 the simplest natural ventilation device for the attic and upper floors of the house.
Bathrooms in the house
In a multi-storey building bathrooms should be on each floor.
The bathroom is located on the ground floor so that it is convenient for guests to use. 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 use the same bathroom.
In a large bathroom in the bedroom area, pos. 18 in Fig. 3, it is convenient to place equipment for spa treatments - for example, a bathroom with a hydromassage or a booth of a steam bath-sauna.
Utility premises
The boiler room is usually provided on the ground floor of the house. Often a room is allocated in the garage attached to the house to house the boiler. A solid fuel boiler room must be entered from the outside, from the side of the fuel storage.
It’s natural to place the pantry for food 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 the garage. The constant need to carry clothes far away, and even up the stairs, will not please the hostess of the house.
Windows in the house
![](https://i1.wp.com/domekonom.su/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/dom-dvuhetazhnyi-okno-gostinnoi.jpg)
Large area glazing increases the cost of building and operating a house:
- The cost of building a block with glazing is higher than the cost of building a wall of the same area.
- Increases in heating costs in winter and air conditioning in summer.
But many owners decide to sacrifice economic benefits for the gamut of feelings that they experience in a cozy living room flooded with light with a wonderful view of the garden through large windows from floor to ceiling.
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 households, wherever they would like to have such windows. When choosing, also consider the climate and view from the window.
![](https://i2.wp.com/domekonom.su/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/okno-naprotiv-vhoda1.jpg)
If at the entrance to the house, room or corridor the eyes rest on the window on the opposite wall and the garden is visible behind it, 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 shutters not only protect windows from breaking, but in severe frosts reduce heat loss through the windows, and in the summer heat they reduce the 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 stage of designing a house.
Watch a video tutorial on planning a one-story house with an attic:
What rooms in the house can be walk-through
To make the house seem spacious, architects recommend combining the premises of the day zone - making them walk-through.
In spacious rooms it is easier to breathe, they give a feeling of freedom.
Many have a prejudice against passage rooms. Indeed, in small apartments with a high population density, a walk-through room is a big minus in the layout. Quite another thing is in private homes, where the number and area of \u200b\u200bpremises per person living, as a rule, is much larger.
Connecting and combining rooms, the installation of enfilade or alcove reduce the area of \u200b\u200bcorridors and halls, provide greater convenience and comfort of living in the house, and also allows you to create a unique interior in these rooms.
The combination of the kitchen, dining room and living room
The most popular option for combining premises in an economy class house is the combination of 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 to communicate between people who are on the premises of this zone.
Cooking processes in a modern kitchen are fast enough. The allocation and distribution of unpleasant odors and other hazards is minimal. Separating the kitchen from other rooms for this reason there is no special need.
Food in the kitchen is usually prepared by the hostess or landlord. To deprive them of contact with other household members during cooking is not humane.
It is convenient when the dining room is located between the kitchen and the living room. Guests can enjoy a meal from the kitchen. Households and guests go from the living room to the dining room. This arrangement of the premises of the day zone corresponds to the natural course of events. Life in the dining room continues after the meal. See the 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.
The union of the dining room, living room and study - library
In a large house, where important guests are often received, and a chef cook prepares food, they combine a dining room, a living room and an office or library. The rooms are connected by a suite - when the transitions between the rooms are on the same axis, as in ancient palaces and estates. The living room is located in the center of this enfilade.
The combination of these premises creates a presentable, official zone in the house, in which there is where to dine, relax in the living room by the fireplace or to retire and conduct negotiations in the office.
From the bedroom to the dressing room and further to the bathroom
In the bedroom, couples often arrange a private area from the dressing room and bathroom, as, for example, in Fig. 3, above, positions 13, 14 and 15.
It can be convenient to make a dressing room a passage room. This layout is good in that the number of doors in the bedroom is reduced, and the sound of water from the bathroom is weaker.
The closet usually does not spend much time, therefore, the owners of the bedroom will not experience any inconvenience from the walk-in closet.
We move from one utility room to another
In the house it is convenient to have utility rooms in one place. It is more profitable, for example, to go to the boiler room through the laundry room, and to the laundry room through the dressing room than to arrange a common corridor and separate doors to each room.
Comfortable niches in the house
Cases for clothes and other interior elements are more convenient and more profitable to place in niches. I recommend that you think over the placement in advance and provide for the installation 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 long, then the niche in the front is closed with swing doors, as well as roller blinds or blinds.
For the device of sliding doors, the depth of the niche should be increased by another 8-10 cm.
Niche depth for bookshelves 30-35 cm.
In a niche for a cozy sleeping corner, a 160-190 wide bed should be placed cm and two bedside tables. Niche depth not more than 90 cm.
It is convenient to place a workplace with a desk and a computer in a niche with a depth of 80-110 cm and at least 150 wide cm.
Placing a shower in a niche allows you to refuse to buy a shower cabin. Comfortable shower dimensions in a niche of at least 100x110 cm.
When building a house, its future owners dream that it will be comfortable, cozy for every member of the family. Proper layout of the house is an important step towards achieving such a 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, 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 housing space needs to be divided into night and day zones. The first include bedrooms, which are often located in a calm, quiet part of the house. The day area includes rooms in which family members spend most of their time (kitchen, living room, hallway).
- The layout of the house should include space for the stairs, if the house is two-story.
- With a large area of \u200b\u200bhousing, 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 lack of space, large windows will help to visually increase the space, which must be immediately identified in the project.
- If it is necessary to optimize the space, it is recommended to create a house plan, suggesting a single volume of the hall, living room and kitchen.
- If you are building a house in an area with a harsh climate, consider a double vestibule - it will become an additional way to heat your home. To save space, it can be performed as an extension.
Layout of a one-story house
Such buildings have advantages in the form of ease of construction, cost savings on their construction. A plan of a one-story house is created taking into account such 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.
- Determining the location of the building and all rooms to the wind rose and cardinal points.
- Considering the features of the surrounding landscape.
- The binding of the building to communications, their access 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 this structure are its usable area and the possibility of saving the space of the site. The plan of the two-story house has its own characteristics:
- Designing a solid foundation with powerful supports that can withstand a two-story building.
- The project of a large house on two floors should include a plan for supplying and wiring communication systems, which in such a structure have an extensive and more complex scheme. Additional equipment may be required.
- When creating a building plan, you need to consider whether there are family members with additional needs. If any, rooms for them are arranged on the ground floor and, if necessary, are equipped with additional equipment.
- It is worth considering what the staircase in the house will be, what area will be allocated for it - these data should be entered into the plan of the two-story house.
- If the building will have additional premises with a specific purpose (gym, sauna, pantries, pool, billiard room and so on) they need to be included in the project.

Layout of the house with an attic
The building with the attic operated room is warmer, it has more usable area. The plan of the 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 the floor to the ceiling.
- It is necessary to develop a type of roof structure. 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 area of \u200b\u200bthe base. To increase the space by 100%, you need to raise the roof to a height of 1.5 m.
- Determine how communications will be made 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, preferences of family members. The following recommendations will be useful:
- When designing a small house, abandon the corridors to increase space. Instead, provide a large passage room.
- If the structure has a small area, make the rooms adjacent.
- To optimize the space, the 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 get rid of interior doors, partitions.
Hall layout
This is one of the main rooms in the house, thanks to which a general perception of it is created. Be it the layout of a country house or the 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 may be the same, but you need to identify the boundaries between them. In the kitchen, in this case, there should be 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 designs in it, what furniture will be located there.
- It is desirable that the hallway be square or rectangular, but not narrow.
Hall layout
Living room - a place where there should be a place to relax for each family member. There are a number of recommendations from designers to help 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 correctly, you can create a studio consisting of a living room and kitchen. To increase the area will allow transforming furniture.
- In large living rooms, two windows are desirable to provide good natural light. Minimalism is not suitable for large halls, but an excessive amount of furniture reduces space.
Kitchen layout
Family members spend a lot of time in this room, so it should be functional and convenient. There are some tips on how to correctly design a kitchen:
- It can be divided into a dining room and a working area, without using partitions, doors, zoning using design, interior items.
- If the room is large, it can provide two windows.
- When planning a kitchen, consider where furniture and appliances will be placed.
- The design of a small kitchen can be made angular - to shift the working part to the corner. Another option is linear placement along one wall.
Bedroom layout
A place to relax should be cozy, comfortable. Properly draw up a bedroom project will help the following recommendations:
- If the room is small, it is better to stay on multifunctional pieces of furniture. The distance between them should be at least 70 cm.
- A bed in a small room can be put against the wall. To save space, you can choose the option with a lifting mechanism.
- Bedside tables can be replaced with hanging shelves.
- In a small bedroom, do not place large elements of the decor, but for a large room they are appropriate.
- In the large bedroom, do not place all furniture around the perimeter. This room can be divided into zones of sleep and rest.
Bathroom layout
In the design of this room, you need to observe some features. The project of a private house should take into account such nuances:
- If the house is two-story, bathrooms are located on each floor. If there is enough space, an additional bath with a toilet is thought out for each guest room.
- In a small house, the bath can be replaced with a shower.
- The project must take into account how communications will be bred - water, light, drain, if necessary - heating.
The layout of the children's room
Designers have advice regarding this room:
- Consideration of the age of the child in order to provide the premises with play and / or educational territory.
- The sleeping area in the children's bedroom should be separated so that the child falls asleep faster.
- Regardless of whether a country house or basic housing project is created, if the room is equipped for a teenager, it should have a recreation or social area - for example, it can be a sofa with armchairs and / or a table.
- Lighting devices in the room are located in each zone.
- It is recommended that the rooms in which family members are more likely to be oriented to the south, so that they receive more natural heat 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 wood options construction of the house.
- If the building is being built on a recently acquired site, it is advisable to observe it for several seasons, and only then create a project. This will allow to study all its features.
The layout of the house is the basis for future construction. It should take into account all the little things, so that later you will not encounter difficulties in the construction of the building. It is important to design in detail all the rooms, their relationship with each other. Taking into account all the design features will help build a house in which all the ideas of the owners are implemented. Such housing will be comfortable and cozy for all its residents.
The size and layout of any home should be rational. Sometimes it’s worth considering whether 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. The huge house (if there is no special evidence, for example, the large family) is not so convenient in operation, as evidenced by not too happy reviews of the owners of such buildings. And the costs of heating such a home are probably not small. It is worth remembering about a considerable property tax, directly related to its area.
We choose the best arrangement of rooms in two-story houses, for any size you can choose a good one, let it be: 6 by 6, 10 by 10, everything is possible in wooden houses!
A similar question concerns the number of storeys of housing: is the second floor really necessary? If the family is modest in size and does not need a large area, is it better for it to get along with one-story housing?
![](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, the two-story building has its significant advantages. To equip the same square footage of the living space and 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 do not 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 room. For its location it is not necessary to choose the best place, the northern part of the house will also suit it.
![](https://i0.wp.com/domsdelat.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B2_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B5.jpg)
The boiler room may be a source of noise, so it is best not to place it near the rest rooms. According to the rules, gas equipment (boiler) of a certain power (up to 60 kW) is perfectly acceptable to be placed in.
Many homeowners dream about planning their dream home. More often it concerns residents of urban apartments.

In fact, a full-fledged floor is much more comfortable and convenient than the attic. But the construction will cost much cheaper. You also need to decide on, or rather, its presence. Some people think that you can’t do without it, some believe that it closes the light to other rooms, and prefer it to an additional room around the perimeter of the walls - spacious, with large windows, heated and comfortable.
Any family will need a spacious pantry, at least one, and preferably more. If the house has two floors, it is convenient to equip it under.
Often in advance, even at the stage of planning the rooms in the house, the question of the need for a workshop for the owner (or a needlework room for the hostess) is decided. If you don’t think about it right away, then you’ll have to sacrifice another room for it, remodeling it.
Layout in a private house: vestibule or entrance hall
![](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)
Entrance to the dwelling should not lead directly to the living room. Required entrance hall, or something like a vestibule. To establish a vestibule at home, everyone decides for himself. Many people think that the tambour is much warmer. Others are convinced that the double door does a wonderful job. In an unheated vestibule it is not so pleasant to dress and undress. Often on the side of the vestibules are those whose hallway is unheated, or too small.
It is much more convenient to have a spacious, not aisle and warm room as an entrance. With this, no additional vestibule is required. Supporters of the latter are considered lovers of garden works. In a “city” house, they can do without him perfectly. This room has a completely different meaning in areas with a harsh climate - where its presence is a necessity.
In a dwelling without a vestibule, the entrance must be equipped with doors to other rooms: otherwise, frosty air will enter the living area every time the front door opens. If it is difficult to equip such a hallway, which is completely enclosed, then you cannot do without a vestibule.

Ceiling height planning in projects

Many do not even think about how high the ceiling in the house should be.. Those who have been living in a room with low ceilings for a long time often prefer them to be higher than required. Meanwhile, too high ceilings can cause unnecessary expenses. The cost of building large, and subsequent homes, 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 too pleasant if the ceiling presses.
In other words, the larger the particular room, the higher the ceiling in it is desired. This means that on the same floor it is better to make them approximately equal in area so that the ceiling height fits all of them. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the finish coating will “eat” a few centimeters of height.
Not too high ceilings can limit the use of oversized and voluminous chandeliers, as tall people can touch their heads. And for too high ceilings, you can also order high, elongated. But you can use ordinary, standard products.
Layout of a balcony 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 claim 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 sunbeds, a comfortable chair, a table, flower pots.
A spacious balcony is very relevant in cases where the house is located in the city, with the actual absence of its own yard. Combined - can be arranged above, located close to the house. not too rational.
![](https://i2.wp.com/domsdelat.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%B2_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B5_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82.jpg)
In quality, it will not be too 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 the building has areas that are not subject to fire. It can be a completely plastered corridor, or the whole - a kind of fire cuts.
We must say right away that you can only make a rough plan yourself. When you do this, go to the architect and together already determine the exact area of \u200b\u200bthe rooms, the connection between them and the whole house plan.
Architect Services
An architect may point out some impossible things. For example, the attic is too low, the corridors are too wide, occupying the extra space that can be reserved for other rooms, etc. The architect will also determine the optimal thickness of the bearing walls, which depends on the number of partitions, number of floors, area and arrangement of rooms. If there are a lot of partitions, you must either reduce the thickness of the bearing walls (if the partitions cope with the load), or remove excess partitions.
Basement
Do you need a basement? It is used as a pantry, workshop, boiler room or cellar. Particularly resourceful equip it as a recreation area.
The basement can only be under a part of the house. It all depends on the purpose and 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
Best of all, if the corridor from the hallway leads directly to the living room. Guests are not confused, and the layout is simpler. The living room area is 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 this is a daylight 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
It is better to make a separate bathroom. So, a person who wants to use the toilet will not wait for someone to skimp in the bathroom. If the combined bathroom cannot be avoided, it is better to fence off a bathtub 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 area of \u200b\u200bthe bathroom is 4-6 m 2.
Bedroom
The bedroom should be on the sunny side. Those who like to sleep need to arrange their windows so that the morning sun does not fall into their faces. The average area of \u200b\u200bthe bedroom 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 you can give 10-12 m 2 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 the fumes and heat from the cooking do not penetrate into the rest of the room.
With sufficient lighting, the kitchen and dining room can be anywhere on the floor plan.
The closer the kitchen to the bathroom, the more this saves the length of the water supply.
Attic
The attic is often either a second bedroom for guests or a bedroom for children. In the attic, the main height of the attic itself and the size of the windows are the main ones. Windows can interfere with an abundance of light, so you should carefully study the cardinal directions 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 of 5 × 2 meters are perfect for a small house. It is best to have a veranda from the east or west side, next to the kitchen. Under the veranda is required light foundation and the 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 should be on the sunny side and close to the bedroom and living room (so that parents can quickly find out what happens to the children if something happens).
Second floor
The second floor of a two-story house allows you to place 2 bedrooms and a children's room, as well as an additional bathroom for the owners. This is the best option for a young family without elderly people. With elderly parents, you need a bedroom on the first floor so that they do not spend the energy to climb to the second.
You need to be more careful with the stairs: children who jump and run everywhere can hit its edge. Avoid sharp corners whenever possible. The stairs should take up a little space. The type of staircase is also important (in a small house, emphasis should be placed on optimality in terms of size). But if the house is large, then the staircase can be any. 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 the construction of the floor, and it will go up 2 steps less.
Building your own living quarters has many nuances. Before the start of construction, the location of the future cottage, its size and number of storeys is selected. The budget and practical option will be the choice in favor of a one-story house, the plan of which is easier and faster to draw up than. Various dimensions and a variety of design solutions will allow everyone to find a project.
There are a number of advantages of a small house with an attic:
- high speed of construction and drafting;
- less material costs for the foundation and building materials;
- it is easier to provide the entire premises with the necessary communications;
- you can order a finished project economy or luxury class;
- the building can be erected on almost any type of soil, without fear of destruction or settlement of the house.
