Planning an apartment is an intriguing yet challenging task. It may surprise you that, more than the design itself, it's the planning phase that truly shapes the appearance of our apartment.

Properly arranging the rooms allows us to create a space that mirrors our personality, lifestyle, and requirements.

Whether you're starting a new or renovating an existing space, these pointers will certainly be beneficial.

How to determine the number of rooms in the apartment?

Determining the number of rooms in an apartment involves a key consideration: the number of windows. As a general rule, you'll have as many independent rooms as there are windows in the apartment. However, this excludes spaces like pantries or closets, which don't require separate windows.

Therefore, solely relying on the square footage of the apartment isn't sufficient to determine the room count. For instance, if your apartment has three independent windows and you prefer a separate kitchen, one window would be allocated to the living room, another to the bedroom, and the third to the kitchen. If you're open to combining the kitchen with the living room, you can potentially gain an extra bedroom by using the spare window.

The height of the apartment's ceiling is another important factor to consider. While high ceilings can be visually appealing, they may not be energy-efficient. Therefore, special attention should be given to the heating and cooling systems in such apartments.

In larger apartments, the need for multiple bathrooms may arise. The number and placement of bathrooms depend on the location of plumbing connections. It's advisable to examine the placement of mounting brackets and then decide on the positioning of bathrooms or toilets accordingly.

Seeking advice from an architect or interior designer can help in properly assessing your requirements. By considering these factors in advance, you can ensure that your apartment meets your needs and preferences.
