Help me choose between these two floor plans for our first apartment.
Apologies about the bad picture quality, I took them from the brochure.
We are a family of two and our pet cats getting our first apartment. We have the option between these two in the this society. Both apartments are roughly 1900sqft super built up area, and both have good ventilation and light. We both WFH so one room will be converted into an office space, one will be our master bedroom, and one will be guest bedroom.
I am leaning towards option 1. I like the bigger master bedroom, the bigger second bedroom. I think one balcony in the living room is enough, especially since the master bedroom has a big window.
Husband and my sister prefer the Option 2. The kitchen is bigger and much nicer here, the living room and dining area bigger, and the living room gets cross ventilation. The master bedroom has a balcony. Our cats love to sit in the balcony so it’s ideal for them. Also the plan feels more luxe, IYKWIM. I like all of that. But I don’t like the smaller rooms, especially the smaller master bedroom. It is roughly the size of the bedroom in our current rented apartment and i feel like that’s not very big.
The builder said that I can move any NON-LOAD BEARING WALL and make the bedroom bigger in option 2. I don’t mind making the other adjacent bedroom smaller, but I can’t figure out how to do it, since the one wall is load bearing, and so I don’t know how the person would enter the second bedroom if I moved the middle wall between the two rooms. I don’t mind making the bathroom as an attached bathroom (to the second bedroom) here and not having a common bathroom. To be honest we don’t need three bathrooms, two are good enough. But the building is already constructed so idk if that’s possible anymore.
Here’s my questions:
- which one of these plans is better?
- Can the master bedroom in option 2 comfortably accommodate 3 full size wardrobes, a king side bed with side tables, and a dresser? Or will it be too cramped? Is there any way to make it more space-efficient?
- does having a balcony make the room feel more spacious and bigger?
- is there any way at all to make the master bedroom bigger in option 2? The wall between the dining and master bedroom is load bearing, so can’t move that.
Would be really grateful if you can help me out with this.
And if you’re in Bangalore, and I get an adequate solution, you can do my interiors!
