Choosing a 3 bedroom house plan with living room, bathroom and kitchen, is one of the most balanced solutions for families looking for comfort, well-organized spaces and controlled construction budget. This layout works equally well for urban plots, countryside homes or holiday houses, offering flexibility in design and efficient use of space. In this article, we present several real house projects, practical layouts and clear explanations to help you understand what works best and why.
What Does an Optimal 3 Bedroom House Plan Look Like?
A well-designed house that includes three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen - whether arranged on one level or two, should provide clear functional zoning and comfortable circulation.
An optimal layout usually includes:
three well-sized bedrooms with space for wardrobes or dressing areas
a bright living room, often open plan, positioned toward the garden
a functional kitchen, either open or semi - open
one main bathroom (ideally two bathrooms if the surface allows)
entrance hall and technical/storage spaces
optional terrace or direct access to the garden
circulation areas adapted to single-storey or two-storey layouts
Most families prefer a clear separation between the day area (living room and kitchen) and the night area (bedrooms), even in compact homes. This separation improves privacy and acoustic comfort and is naturally achieved in two-storey houses, or carefully planned single-storey layouts.

Minimum Surface Area for a 3 Bedroom House?
The minimum usable area for a 3 bedroom house plan starts at approximately 85-95 sqm, but true comfort is usually achieved from 110-120 sqm upwards.
It is range:
bedrooms have practical dimensions
circulation spaces are well proportioned
the living room and kitchen are not compromised
Below this threshold, layouts become more restrictive and require careful planning to maintain functionality.
The most efficient house plans usually start from:
90-110 sqm usable area for compact houses
You can find several standardized small house models in our dedicated category: Small House Projects.

120-140 sqm usable area for families with two children
150-180 sqm usable area for premium homes or larger vacation houses
The final house size depends on several factors, such as:
whether you prefer an open-plan or closed kitchen
whether you need a separate home office
whether you want a master bedroom with dressing room and private bathroom
whether you plan for a cover terrace

Intrebari Frecvente - FAQ
Can I build a 3 bedroom house with living room, bathroom and kitchen on my plot?
In most cases, yes. A 3 bedroom house can be built if the plot is located within a buildable area and local planning regulations (such as building coverage and height limits) allow a single-storey or two-storey dwelling. The house plans presented here generally fit standard residential plots, starting from around 500 sqm, depending on setbacks, plot width and local regulations.
What is the minimum plot size for a 3 bedroom house?
The minimum plot size usually starts from 400-500 sqm, depending on local rules and the desired house footprint. Plot width, access and orientation play an important role in determining the final layout. The house projects presented in this article are designed for plot with frontages starting from 12-16 meters; however, the shape of the land and access position can influence the final placement of the house.
