How big does a worker's room need to be?

Minimum sizes: What do the legal requirements say?

The size of a workman's room is primarily determined by the legal framework, which may vary slightly in Germany and Austria. In both countries, there is no uniform legal requirement for workman's rooms, as these are generally not considered permanent living spaces. Nevertheless, the minimum sizes are often based on the requirements for living spaces.

In Germany, the minimum size for a living space, according to state building codes, is usually 8 to 10 square meters per person. For workman's rooms, which are mostly used temporarily, this size is a good guideline. Similar regulations apply in Austria: rooms used as sleeping quarters should provide adequate space for a bed, storage space, and freedom of movement. Regardless of legal requirements, landlords should ensure that the rooms offer enough space for the guests' comfort.

The ideal size for single rooms

A single room for fitters should be designed in such a way as to offer guests comfort and functionality. A size of 10 to 15 square meters is usually sufficient to accommodate the main furniture such as a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. For workers who are frequently traveling, it is important that the room not only serves as a place to sleep but also offers space for relaxation and work.

The room layout also plays an important role. A well-planned room often appears more spacious, even if the floor area is limited. Landlords can make the most of small spaces with clever furnishing solutions such as multifunctional furniture or space-saving designs. A comfortable bed, adequate storage, and bright lighting help ensure even a small room is perceived as pleasant.

Multibed room: Space for multiple guests

Shared rooms used by two or more people should be correspondingly larger to meet the needs of all guests. For a double room, about 15 to 20 square meters is recommended, while a room for three or four people should be at least 20 to 30 square meters in size. Each guest should have enough space for their personal belongings and some privacy.

The challenge with shared rooms is to design the layout in such a way that guests do not disturb each other. Bunk beds, room dividers, or separate closet areas can help optimize the use of space. Additionally, attention should be paid to sufficient ventilation and daylight to increase comfort. Shared rooms are particularly suitable for groups of workers traveling together and looking for affordable accommodation.

Common Areas: An Important Factor in Room Size

Besides the size of the actual room, the common areas available to guests are also important. Many workers' rooms have shared kitchens, bathrooms, or lounges that significantly enhance comfort. These areas must be large enough for all residents to use at the same time.

A shared kitchen should be designed so that multiple people can cook at the same time without getting in each other's way. Generous workspaces, several cooking plates, and sufficient storage space are recommended here. In the bathrooms, it is important that there are enough showers and toilets, especially if several people are staying in the accommodation. Lounges equipped with sofas, tables, and possibly a television create a pleasant atmosphere and contribute to the guests' satisfaction.

Expectations of the guests: Comfort and convenience

The size of a worker's room should not only meet legal requirements but also satisfy the guests' expectations. Many workers are accustomed to staying in compact accommodations but still value comfort. A room that provides enough space for sleeping, relaxation, and personal belongings is appreciated by most guests.

For long-term stays, larger rooms are often better suited as they offer guests more freedom of movement and a more pleasant living experience. For shorter stays, size plays a lesser role as long as functionality is provided. Landlords should be aware that a spacious and well-equipped room not only increases guest satisfaction but also the likelihood that they will return or recommend the accommodation.

 

The ideal size of a worker's room depends on various factors such as the number of guests, the duration of stay, and the users' expectations. While 10 to 15 square meters are sufficient for single rooms, multiple-bed rooms should be significantly larger to ensure the comfort of all residents. Common areas like kitchens or bathrooms also play an important role and should be generously designed accordingly.

Ultimately, it is crucial that guests feel comfortable in their accommodation, regardless of the size. A well-thought-out room design, functional furniture, and enough space to move around contribute to making worker's rooms an attractive option for both short and long stays.
