Minimum requirement for a double bedroom size
In the realm of interior design, creating comfortable and functional spaces is key. Here's a guide to help you navigate the ideal sizes for various rooms, along with expert tips from Lee Trethewey, an acclaimed interior and garden designer, eco-friendly practitioner, and general manager at Sustainable Furniture.
When it comes to a master bedroom, a king-sized bed, wardrobe space, seating area, and potentially an ensuite bathroom or walk-in closet should be accommodated. In the UK, a king-sized bed measures approximately 150cm x 200cm, while in Germany, the ideal size for a master bedroom (Meisterzimmer) typically ranges from 12 to 20 square meters. Lee Trethewey recommends a minimum of 15 square metres for a master bedroom, with 20 square metres providing ample space for a multifunctional master bedroom.
For guest rooms, the size can vary but should ideally be within a versatile range of approximately 9-12 square metres. Choosing large furniture that fits the space can help to make a room feel less overwhelming.
When designing a small children's bedroom, it is important to consider the child's age and their growing needs for space for playing, studying, and storage. Good airflow and ventilation are vital to ensure a healthy living environment, especially in smaller rooms.
In a house in multiple occupation (HMO) in the UK, the minimum space allowance for two occupants in a bedroom is 10.22 square metres. Building regulations suggest a minimum of 6.5 square metres for one occupant over the age of 10 in a bedroom, but a larger area is recommended for extra comfort and functionality.
Room dividers or screens can create separate areas within a room, making it feel smaller and more functional. Built-in wardrobes can increase storage space while taking up some room. Creating sections or zones within a bedroom can help to define the space and make it more functional.
Lee Trethewey, the general manager at Sustainable Furniture, a Cornwall-based furniture retailer specializing in sustainable, high-quality furnishings, emphasizes the importance of a minimum of 70cm clearance around the bed for ease of movement.
