Home sizes
Planned to the square foot.
Room dimensions, storage volumes and layouts worked out for every configuration from a studio to a villa.
By configuration
Choose your home size
1 BHK Interior Design
Every surface has to do two jobs. The wins come from going vertical, keeping joinery the colour of the walls, and choosing furniture that folds, stacks or stores.
See planning
2 BHK Interior Design
The most common Indian apartment, and the one where planning discipline pays off most. Storage volume and a workable kitchen triangle are the two decisions that matter.
See planning
3 BHK Interior Design
Enough space for the rooms to have distinct characters while still sharing one material language. This is where a whole-home palette starts to genuinely pay off.
See planning4 BHK Interior Design
Scope for formal and informal zones to be genuinely separate. The design problem shifts from fitting things in to holding the scheme together across more rooms.
See planning
4+ BHK & Villas Interior Design
Multi-level planning, bespoke furniture and a longer programme. The coordination between joinery, stone, lighting and furniture becomes the main body of the work.

Or work from the square footage
A configuration name is a rough proxy. The carpet area is the number that actually decides what fits, so this is the same planning read against sq ft instead of bedroom count.
| Carpet area | What the plan turns on | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Under 500 sq ft | Everything is vertical and multi-use | Loft storage over every door, wall-hung joinery, one flooring material throughout, and one palette. Furniture is chosen for what it does when it is not in use. |
| 500-900 sq ft | Storage volume is the deciding number | A workable kitchen triangle and full-height wardrobes take priority over feature walls. The living and dining have to read as one volume rather than two small rooms. |
| 900-1,500 sq ft | Rooms can take distinct characters | A whole-home palette starts to pay off, a utility zone can be closed off, and the primary bedroom can carry a dressing zone without losing floor area. |
| 1,500-2,500 sq ft | Formal and informal zones separate | The problem shifts from fitting things in to holding the scheme together across more rooms. Cornice, skirting and door profiles have to be decided once and repeated. |
| Above 2,500 sq ft | Coordination becomes the main body of work | Joinery, stone, lighting and furniture are designed together, with a full lighting scheme and scene control. Bespoke furniture is usually cheaper than buying at this scale. |
Custom sizing
Homes that are not a round BHK number
Half-configurations, duplexes, studios and plot builds are ordinary work. Every plan is measured on site before a line is drawn.
- Studio and 1 RK — 250-400 sq ft. One room doing four jobs. The plan is decided by what can be hidden: a wall bed, a kitchen behind shutters, and a single storage wall that absorbs everything else.
- Half-size configurations — 2.5 and 3.5 BHK. The extra half is usually a small room with an odd proportion. It works as a study, a nursery or a dressing room — rarely as a bedroom, and planning it as one is the common mistake.
- Duplex and penthouse — 1,800-4,000 sq ft over two levels. The staircase is the design problem, not a circulation detail. Service routing between levels and the double-height volume set the material and lighting strategy for everything else.
- Independent house and plot builds — 1,200-5,000 sq ft. Interiors can be decided while the structure is still open, which is the cheapest moment to move a wall, a socket or a drain. The programme runs alongside civil work rather than after it.
- Row house and villa — 1,600-3,500 sq ft. Repeated floor plates with a private garden or terrace. The scheme has to carry from the entrance level to the top floor without repeating itself literally.
Planning
How home size actually shapes a project
Why size is planned before style
The BHK label and even the carpet area only say how much space there is; they say nothing about how it should be divided. We plan the layout and the storage volume for a given size first — that is what decides whether a kitchen takes an island or a parallel run, whether a wardrobe goes floor-to-ceiling or with a loft — and only then choose which of the six house styles carries the material direction.
How the dimension tables are built
Every room dimension quoted on the pages below comes from projects we have actually built at that configuration, not from a catalogue minimum. They are a reliable starting point precisely because they reflect what a room of that size can carry without the circulation failing — not the largest number that would technically fit on paper.
What changes and what does not, across sizes
The specification standard — carcass grade, hardware rating, edge sealing — does not change with home size. What changes is how much of a room's storage volume and circulation can be planned before it starts to compete with itself, which is exactly what each size page below works out room by room.
A note on where these numbers come from
Nothing on the pages below is a catalogue minimum. Every dimension reflects a room we have actually built at that configuration, adjusted where a specific project needed something different — which is also exactly what happens to your own numbers once we measure your flat.
Questions
About home sizing
Does a larger home always cost proportionally more?
Not proportionally — shared infrastructure (one site mobilisation, one delivery schedule) means a larger full-home scope is usually cheaper per square foot than several smaller projects done separately, even though the total is higher.
Should I plan by BHK label or by carpet area?
By carpet area wherever possible — the BHK label is a marketing convention and two '3 BHK' flats can differ by several hundred square feet. Every page below reads by both, but the area is the number the design actually responds to.
How does home size interact with house style?
Loosely. A compact home tends to suit restrained detailing simply because there is less wall and floor to carry an elaborate material story, but all six styles are drawn at every size on this site — the constraint is real but rarely decisive.
What if my home is smaller than a studio or larger than a villa listing suggests?
The custom sizing page covers anything that does not fit a round configuration cleanly — send the carpet area and the actual layout rather than trying to round to the nearest label.
Do multi-storey homes get planned differently by size?
Yes — a duplex or a house across floors is planned per floor first, with the staircase and service routing between levels decided before any individual room, since those two decisions shape the material and lighting strategy on every floor that follows.
Why is 3 BHK the most detailed size page?
It is the configuration we see most often, so the room-by-room read is the most tested against real projects. The underlying planning logic on every size page is identical; 3 BHK simply has the deepest track record behind it.
Can I compare two home sizes side by side before deciding on a flat?
Yes — open two size pages in separate tabs and compare the room dimension tables directly. It is a useful exercise while still choosing between two apartments, not only after signing.
Does a larger carpet area always mean a better layout?
No — a well-planned smaller flat regularly outperforms a poorly planned larger one in daily use. Area sets the ceiling on what is possible; planning decides how much of it is realised.
Where do I go next after choosing a home size?
Open that size's page for the full room-by-room dimension table, then the matching design category pages for layout and material specification.
