[quote=Anonymous]Square footage is not as important as layout and how well the layout aligns with how your family uses the space. People have different tolerances for which activities can be co-located. For example, you could have a formal living room, tv room, and a play room as three separate spaces; maybe you have your one tv in your playroom and make do. Or maybe your living room, play room, and tv room are all in one room. Whatever combo is the right set up for your family can reflect whether you need 3k, 2k, or 1k square feet in order to be happy with your home.

Our home is 1500sq ft, with 5 bedrooms - 3 we sleep in and two offices. Our two smallest bedrooms are big enough to fit twin beds in them comfortably, but we use them as offices and they could be much smaller for those purposes.

Our more public spaces - our living room, dining room, and kitchen are small  - If they were all 15% larger it would be perfect. I'd love to have a more distinct entryway with a coat closet. And I'd love to split our daughter's bedroom in half and add a third bathroom. She has the biggest room in the house, and it's kind've dead space. But really, if we could shift square footage away from our offices and into our public spaces, 1500 sq ft would be more than enough for our family of 3.
