In the city core every meter carries a premium, and the layout dictates daily comfort, energy bills, and future liquidity. Below is a practical handbook covering the key decisions—daylight/orientation, functional kitchen, storage, work nook, balcony—and how each choice influences rent and resale. This text will aid you on your searches such as two-bedroom Burgas center, three-bedroom Burgas center, and apartment layout, without compromising on detail.
We at TV Property Ltd. bring 30 years of experience in prime central locations in Sofia and Burgas. That experience shows that a smart layout is often worth more than extra square meters—because it saves money and nerves every single day.
How to Make the Right Decision
Start with three questions:
-
Who will live here in 2–3 years? (family, couple, single, home office)
-
What does your day look like? (work from home, study, hobbies, guests)
-
Do you need more separation of rooms or a larger living area?
Your answers define not the “ideal home in general,” but the ideal home for you.
Daylight and Orientation: the Foundation of a Good Plan
Daylight sets the feeling of space and affects energy costs.
-
Living area facing south-east/south/south-west brings sun, less artificial lighting, and a warmer feel.
-
Bedrooms facing east/north-east stay cooler and darker for sleep.
-
A work spot benefits from diffuse light with minimal glare.
Professional note from TV Property Ltd.: don’t look only at the area—the depth of the living room, window positions, and column placement decide whether a room furnishes well.
Living Room and Kitchen: Open Plan—with Rules
Open plan works in central apartments when:
-
The kitchen is a straight or L-shaped run, doesn’t eat into the lounge, and keeps ≥90 cm clearance in front of cabinets.
-
There’s a real dining zone (not a table in a corridor) and free flow to the terrace.
-
Space is reserved for a tall pantry cabinet—small volume, huge impact.
A two-bedroom with a good plan fits a 2.2–2.6 m sofa and a table for four without feeling cramped.
A three-bedroom shines with living-room width ≥3.8–4.2 m, so you can host a conversation nook and a dining area at once.
Storage & Utility: the Most Underrated Square Meter
A storage/utility of 1.2–2.0 sq.m. solves everyday life—vacuum cleaner, dryer, detergents, luggage. Without it, corridors and bedrooms turn into storerooms. The ideal: a niche with ventilation, a washer + dryer tower, full-height shelving, and a condensate drain.
This isn’t a “luxury” but a mandatory detail that TV Property Ltd. has learned over 30 years and applies in Piccadilly Residence. These small decisions separate a truly convenient home from an address that constantly demands compromises.
Work Nook: Niche, Study, or Multi-Purpose Room
Working from home needs silence and light.
-
In a two-bedroom, look for a 1.2–1.6 m niche with natural light that can be enclosed with a glass partition/sliding door.
-
In a three-bedroom, the second room can be a study + guest room: 70-cm-deep desk, sofa-bed, bookshelves.
-
If a bedroom borders the elevator/stair, check acoustics (solid entrance door, insulation to common parts).
And that’s not a trend—our development practice backs it. TV Property Ltd. integrates work niches/studies and acoustic measures so the home serves both life and work.
Bedrooms and Privacy: Calm Before Meters
Rule of thumb: prioritize privacy over raw square meters.
-
Seek a separate night zone—bedrooms not opening straight into the living area.
-
A master bedroom min. 3.0 × 3.3 m fits a 160/180-cm bed and a 60-cm-deep wardrobe.
-
In a three-bedroom, a master with en-suite is a strong plus for rent and resale.
Bathrooms: One Is Minimum, the Second Brings Comfort
-
Two-bedroom: at least one bathroom with ventilation; if there’s no separate utility, include a niche for appliances.
-
Three-bedroom: two wet rooms (bath + WC or two baths) are highly preferred. They reduce morning conflicts and raise rental value for families.
Balcony and Outdoor Space
In the center, the terrace is the extension of your living room.
-
Target depth 1.4–1.8 m—a table and two chairs without hugging the railing.
-
Check surface, drainage, railing, plus power outlet and lighting.
-
On busy streets, quality glazing and wind/sun screening make the terrace truly usable.
Corridors and Doors: the Centimeters that “Eat” the Home
A good apartment layout minimizes hallways and avoids doors clashing into each other. Sliding systems often “give back” valuable centimeters. Mind the visual axis—you shouldn’t see a bathroom straight from the entrance. It’s a livability detail and a resale detail.
When a Two-Bedroom Is the Better Choice
-
Professional couple or single needing home + work niche.
-
You want a lower TCO (less area, lower bills and HOA).
-
You aim for high rent per sq.m. and shorter vacancy periods.
-
You prefer a larger living area over a second permanent bedroom.
Must-haves: real dining zone, sofa ≥2.4 m, storage/utility, work niche, acoustics toward neighbors.
When a Three-Bedroom Is the Better Choice
-
Family with a child/children or two professionals wanting a true study.
-
You need a second bathroom/WC and storage for sports gear, stroller, seasonal items.
-
You want longer rental contracts and higher liquidity on exit to families.
-
You choose room separation over a maximal living-room volume.
Critical requirements: living-room width ≥3.8–4.2 m, master with en-suite, second bedroom ≥10–11 sq.m., two wet rooms, underground parking.
How Layout Impacts Rent and Resale
-
Two-bedroom: higher rent per sq.m.; wide audience (singles/couples); typically lower total rent vs. three-bed, but often shorter vacancies.
-
Three-bedroom: higher total rent and more stable leases (families, remote workers, expats). In central areas demand is resilient, especially with A/A+, two baths, and parking.
Layouts that furnish easily let faster. Look for straight wardrobe walls, an entry niche for storage, proper living-room depth, space for 60-cm cabinets, and 80–100 cm clearances around the bed.
Common Viewing Mistakes
-
Choosing a large terrace at the expense of missing storage.
-
A bedroom on a busy boulevard with no acoustic solution.
-
Long, narrow lounge that can’t fit a real dining area.
-
Bathroom with no room for a dryer/washer → appliances in the kitchen.
-
Doors colliding, no space for a coat unit in the entry.
-
Ignoring the chain elevator → parking → apartment (ramp, maneuvering, SUV clearance).
Why the Center “Loves” Practical Square Meters
In the center, location is the premium, but it works only if the interior is quiet, bright, and organized. A layout with storage/utility, work niche/study, two wet rooms (for a three-bed), functional kitchen, and underground parking delivers a sense of home, not just an address. That’s exactly how we plan and build Piccadilly Residence.
