There are many ways to judge while buying a property when it is mainly for the end-use purpose. One of such things is the floor plan. There are various things and components that contribute to making a good floor plan.
Here are few guidelines to distinguish between a good floor plan and a bad floor plan and how you can classify these:

View
For a pleasing view of the home, keep the kitchenette away from the entrance. The visitors should have a vision of the living room interiors and there should not be any obstruction in the inside view.

Common area
Space used by huge cupboards, big doorways are a waste and are of little use in average-sized apartments. Rather, go for built-in furniture such as convertible sofas, shelves, desks or tables that can also be used as iron table etc.

Room size
Choose a rectangular room over a square one. A good floor plan is the one that has a room of at least 12 ft long and 10 feet in width.

This means that in India the typical size of the bed is about 7-9 ft in length. The extra 5 ft space should be left for free movement in the room as well as placement of other things.

If you are thinking of a master bedroom, space should be at least 7-10 ft along with a master bathroom and a walk-in closet.

Loading
Homebuyers should make sure that the loading area should not be more than 30 percent and less than 25 percent as the common area spaces get compact.

The variance between carpet area and the super area is known as loading and is generally 30 percent of the total floor plan area.

Furniture
Any furniture in the residential space is kept at least 3 feet away from the wall. Make sure that there is enough space for placing furniture at different angles to avoid overcrowding.

Kitchen
A good floor plan provides an open kitchen as it offers easy access to other parts of the house and makes the common area appear large.

Make sure the kitchen and dining area are side by side as these are the most used areas of the home and should have a suitable access.

Bathrooms
This factor totally depends on the homebuyers’ necessities. Generally, a 1BHK has 1 attached bathroom while a 2BHK flat might have two, one attached to the room and the other one with the hall.

For a 3BHK flat, the third bathroom can be replaced as a storeroom, if you have a small family. It is suggested to keep the common area bathroom functional for guests.

Balconies
The area used for building the balconies is not calculated in the Floor Space Index (FSI). However, real estate developers add this in the carpet area to manage the loading.

Therefore, go for a larger balcony rather than several small balconies to make sure healthy ventilation.
