When you are looking for a house to rent or to buy, you will want to choose the right size house. Determining how big of a house to get will be affected by factors that include the size of your family, how much time you spend at home, how much you entertain, and if you work from home.

One of the first things you will want to determine is the number bedrooms that you will need. Usually one per adult/couple and children can often share a room if the same sex and near the same age, but prefer their own room.

Next decide the number of bathrooms. If you have 1-3 people, you can get by with one bathroom. If there is always someone waiting, then you will want two bathrooms. This will also be necessary if you tend to have guests over regularly. An office can double as a guest room.

If you are rarely home and seldom entertain, a small living room will meet your needs. The same is true of a dining area. You will need a larger dining area and living room if your house is where everyone gathers on the holidays and various special occasions.
