3 Bedroom House Plan with Living Room, Bathroom and Kitchen

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
