1+1 or 2+1 apartment: which layout fits?

Room count is a shorthand for the layout, not a full measure of usefulness. Compare room dimensions, circulation, storage and space for work or guests. A smaller apartment with an efficient plan may suit you better than a larger one dominated by corridors.

Practical steps

1. Place the dimensions of essential furniture on the floor plan before relying on photos
2. Identify which rooms you need to use simultaneously during a normal day
3. Compare privacy between bedrooms and living areas, and flexibility for future use

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
