The term 'standard room dimensions' is somewhat of a misnomer, as there are no real, accepted standardized room sizes for homes. Even homes within the same neighborhoods, with the same general designs, often have variations throughout their comparable room sizes. The only real things that are actually common enough to rely on is that their will be either, eight-foot or ten-foot high ceilings in
. most residential structures. For wall lengths and individual room dimensions, it all depends on the particular structure, and even when standard dimensions are common, remodeling and additions confuse the situation. The best bet for room dimension accuracy is to overestimate, such as in the instances of painting, wallpapering or other coating strategies.While there are some general guidelines, such as living rooms and master bedrooms being larger than other rooms, most homes have their own unique additions that defy the standards. Many apartments follow the 10" x 10" bedroom design, while others have rooms as small as 8" x 10" or as large as 12" x 12". Homes are even more varied, with many smaller ones incorporating 8" x 10" rooms for secondary bedrooms and a 12" x 12" size for the master bedroom. Many homes also sacrifice space in one room for more in another, making a standard room guide even more difficult. However, the conventions outlined above hold true for a wide number of locations, so much in fact, that most professionals bidding jobs based on room dimensions use them for quick calculations.There are few outlets online for assisting with standard room sizes, such as those for use when designing new homes or apartments, as well as those for decorating or remodeling. Familiar outlets that include www.HGTV.com and www.DIY.com can help tremendously with space concerns, design options and accurate calculations concerning room dimensions.
