Small Apartment Floor Plans

In small apartment floor plans, the layout matters more than the furniture. These two layouts both come in under 60 m² (646 sq ft): a studio, and a one-bedroom where the kitchen shares the living room so the bedroom can have a door. Compare what each one encloses, then fit the closer one to your own flat.

The trade-off in a small flat

Neither layout has a hallway, so no floor goes to corridors. The difference is what gets a door. The studio gives walls only to the shower room and kitchenette and puts the bed in the main room. The one-bedroom does the opposite with the kitchen, which joins the living room so the bed can be behind a door.

Choose by whether you would rather close the door on the bed or on the cooking.

Making a small apartment work

  1. Measure the furniture as well as the room

    Resize library items to your own pieces; a sofa 20 cm (8″) shorter can open up a walkway.

  2. Use the walls

    Bookshelves and wardrobes along walls keep the middle of the room free.

  3. Check door swings

    Look at the door arcs on the plan; flip a door so it opens against a wall instead of into furniture.

  4. Try it in 3D

    A layout that looks cramped in 2D can feel fine at eye level in walk mode, and the reverse.

Things to consider

  1. Storage first

    Both plans have a single wardrobe. Decide where coats, cases and cleaning things go before the furniture.

  2. Working from home

    Neither plan has a desk. Try one in the bedroom of the one-bedroom flat, or by the window in the studio.

  3. Listing areas

    Small differences matter in a small flat. Listings often quote internal areas, while this plan measures to wall centre lines.

Frequently asked questions

What is the smallest layout available?

The studio, at 39.0 m² (420 sq ft) measured to wall centre lines. Shrink it further by typing shorter wall lengths.

Can I check whether my furniture fits before I move?

Yes. Draw the flat, resize the library items to your furniture and move them around. Undo any change from the history panel.

Can I try several layouts for the same flat?

Yes. Duplicate the project from your project list and try a different arrangement in each copy.

Does the editor work on a phone?

Yes. It has a phone layout for drawing and editing on a small screen, though a tablet or larger screen gives you more room.
