Small vs. Big 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad- what’s the difference?
Small versus Big 3 BHK units in Hyderabad could be classified into 3 categories- Small, Medium & Large for the sake of convenience.
Some home buyers encounter the problem that they are unable to tell the difference between a big versus a small 3 BHK unit when they see it on paper.
Plus, on the paper, the focus sometimes is on 1) budget, 2) counting the rooms.
By doing so, the home buyers sometimes do NOT get an appreciation of what REAL SPACE looks like on paper (floor plan design).
A floor plan sometimes is elusive and does NOT allow the home buyer to take the right decision. The purpose of this article is to tell the homebuyers in Hyderabad to be cognizant of one’s space needs and understand the difference between a SMALL vs. BIG space in your 3 BHK unit in Hyderabad.
So, let us just review the 3 sizes as given below, and learn how to read into a floor plan from a convenience and utility point of view…with a clear focus on SPACIOUSNESS. The objective is to see if these will fulfil your family needs immediately as well as in the long run!
1. Small apartment in Hyderabad- ranging between 1300 to 1500 sft
- Given below is a 3 BHK apartment floor plan measuring 1400 sft, which we can call a small 3 BHK unit
-
What you get in a 3 BHK 1400 sft flat is-
- Bed 1- Master bedroom- ok size- can barely put one small sofa, with wardrobe it becomes smaller, but still manageable
- Bed 2- Second biggest room- smaller size- almost same as master, but cannot have two children study comfortably
- Bed 3- Smallest room- ok for children, not ok for grandparents, ok for guests, feels cramped with furniture
- Balcony- too small
- All bathrooms- too small
- Dining & living- just about ok
- No utility room- not good as there is no room to store food items, clothing or cater to pets
- Overall, it’s a budget apartment, which does NOT cater to family needs in the long run

- All bathrooms- just about right sized, although NOT spacious

- Technically, you get two utility rooms if your servant room is NOT occupied by a servant
- If you don’t need a servant room, the same 2200 sft could make your bedrooms and bathrooms even more spacious
- Overall, it’s a functional apartment, and is meant for those who need a separate servant room. This apartment caters to most family needs in the long run, while giving a good airy feel

The whole point is to understand what more square feet of area do for you. Well-designed home with a more square foot area needs to meet your requirement. An efficient design with even a mid-sized unit of 1700-1800 sft also could do wonders. You need to develop an eye for appreciating the designs, and balancing against your family needs.
For instance, in design three (Large 3 BHK above), the area allotted to the servant room could be added to the bedrooms/bathrooms to give you more airy space. If you don’t want the servant to live under the same roof, this design is NOT good for you, and you could instead have more space elsewhere.
