While a one bedroom space might seem dinky compared to a suburban McMansion or a Dubai penthouse, the truth is that one bedroom homes have a lot of advantages. Not only is it plenty of room for a single person or even a couple, but less space means less cleaning, and more time to simplify your life. One bedroom houses and apartments can be spacious or conservative, depending on what you need. The floor plans in this post should help you to decide whether it's time for you to downsize and let you see just how many options you have.
