The minimum area of kitchen should be 60 sft, if dinning is within kitchen side the area should not be less than 85-90 sft.
The minimum area of bed room should not be less than 120-150 sft.
The minimum area of drawing room should not be less than 220-250 sft.

Join date: Jan 2014 | Thanks for the prompt answer. But what I am asking is not the minimum size, but the optimum size. That one that feels neither too big nor too small. Actually I feel this is a tricky question. But once it is answered and make sticky to the forum, every body can compare their plans with it and form an opinion whether the area shown in the plan is ideal or not. This is because only a few ordinary folks can interpret dimensions in paper. In my opinion, a 60 ft kitchen will not comfortably accomodate all the items found in an ordinary home kitchen like fridge, sink, gas stove, mixie and / or wet grinder, an induction stove or micro wave etc. Similary a 250 sq ft living room may be too big and a waste of space. a 3+1+1 set can be accomodated in about 150 sq. ft. Experts and other hon'ble members may think of it. | | |
