First: How do you choose the right home space?

This depends on many factors that must be taken into consideration when thinking about building a house or buying a new house. We will explain these factors to you so that you can make an informed decision:

1. Rate the home you currently live in:

   Before you decide to move to a larger home, evaluate the home you live in and decide if it is possible to make some modifications to accommodate more people. If you find that the modifications are not possible, then consider moving to a larger home.

2. Discuss your budget:

   Before you start looking for the right home for your family, you need to assess your financial situation and whether your budget allows it or not. Be realistic about additional costs such as maintenance and property taxes. You can discuss the budget with your loved ones such as your spouse or family.

   Before choosing and purchasing a home, make sure that the price is appropriate compared to similar properties in the area. If the purchase is for investment purposes, you must make sure of the return on investment compared to the features of the property and additional costs such as electricity, water, internet, etc.

3. Future outlook on how many people will live in the house:

   When thinking about a house, you have to think about the number of current residents, and how many people will there be in the future, in order to provide additional living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, which prompts you to choose the appropriate house area for this number.

4. Number of rooms required:

   Today, families design children's bedrooms in a way that allows them to stay for many years. Another factor in determining the number of rooms is the gender of the children, whether male or female. You may not need additional rooms at the present time, but you must plan for the future, as well as plan that each of the children will need a separate room in the future to preserve his/her privacy.

5. Storage space required:

   Sometimes the space of the house is good but it lacks storage space, so many families attach great importance to storage space, so consider having cabinets attached to the kitchen to store food, and consider exploiting the neglected spaces under the stairs and attics to store extra furniture and carpets, and there may be accessories from the cabinets to store tools and children's toys.

6. Furniture quantity:

   One of the important things to determine the appropriate home space is the amount of furniture and furnishings you have, or that you intend to buy. If you want a large home space, you can buy whatever furniture you want. If your budget is small and you choose a small home space, this will limit your furniture options.

7. External facilities:

   If you are one of those who want to have a home garden, or want to create a private swimming pool, or allocate a space for children's games, these things will require additional space that you must take into consideration.

Second: How do I calculate the area of ​​the house?

Area is defined as the number of square units needed to cover any flat shape, and the area is calculated according to the type of geometric shape. To calculate the internal area of ​​the house, use a standard tape to calculate the length and width of each room and perform the multiplication process. The same process is also used for the kitchen and bathrooms, then add these numbers together to get the internal area of ​​the house.

Measuring the interior area is different from measuring the exterior area because when you calculate the interior area in the previous way, you do not include the area consumed by the interior walls. If you want to measure the area used by building the house, you can measure the length and width of the house from the outside and perform the multiplication process.

You can also find out the area of ​​the house by referring to the plans. If the shape is square or rectangular, take the external length and the external width and multiply the length by the width. Thus, the number includes the area of ​​the internal and external walls. Do not forget to add the area of ​​the projections.

Conclusion:

When choosing the right home space for your family, it should be large enough for all your family members, and think that your children are young now and can share bedrooms, but when they grow up they will need their own space.

You need to think about having room to expand as the family grows, sometimes you don't need an extra bedroom, but an extra bathroom and your problem is solved, so it's a good idea to see if you can build an extra living space or work as an extension or convert some spaces into usable space.

We always recommend focusing on the location to be close to shopping areas, schools, health centers, bakeries, universities, parks, and also transportation because it gives you flexibility in moving and traveling.
