Summary
Two-bedroom apartments are versatile, whether you’re sharing with a roommate, living as a couple, raising a family, or setting up a home office. This article highlights eight popular layouts, all created in the RoomSketcher app and ready to customize.
A two-bedroom apartment is one of the most popular layouts for good reason. It gives you space for a second bedroom that can be a guest room, home office, or a roommate’s space.
Most two-bedroom layouts range from 600–1000 sq ft (55–95 m²) and can be either one or two stories. They’re a practical choice for couples, roommates, and small families who want flexibility.
In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the best floor plans for roommates, couples, families, and guests. All the examples were created in the RoomSketcher app. You can view the full project by clicking the Customize this Floor Plan button.

For Roommates
Sharing an apartment? Look for layouts with two bedrooms of similar size and a bathroom that’s easy to access from the hallway. This way, both bedrooms feel fair, and no one has to walk through another’s room.
Extra storage, like a coat closet or linen closet, also makes life easier when two people share the space.
1. Simple Apartment for Students
Ideal for students who want to share space without overspending, this compact layout makes every square foot count. The open-plan kitchen and living area is great for cooking, eating, and relaxing together, while the two bedrooms are equal in size so both roommates get a fair share. A small bathroom completes the plan, keeping everything simple and efficient.
2. Open Layout with Extra Storage
This apartment is a great fit for roommates. Both bedrooms are about the same size and include their own storage, so each person has plenty of space and privacy. The living room is large and open for hanging out, while the kitchen and dining area are set slightly apart.
For Couples
Couples often prefer a layout with a primary bedroom that has an ensuite bathroom, plus a second full bathroom nearby.
That second bath is handy for guests, and the extra bedroom can become a home office, a hobby room, or a cozy guest space.
1. Two-Bedroom Layout with Ensuite Bathroom
This two-bedroom layout offers both comfort and privacy. The primary bedroom includes a private ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom has a full bath nearby. An open kitchen and living area create a bright space to cook, relax, and spend time together.
2. Cozy Apartment with Large Balcony
Perfect for couples who enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor living, this layout flows naturally from the kitchen and dining area into a spacious living room. Large glass doors open to a balcony with room for seating and a dining set, extending the living space outdoors. With two bedrooms and thoughtful storage, it makes the most of every inch.
For Families
For a small family starting out, a two bedroom apartment can be a smart choice. Parents get a primary bedroom, and the second bedroom works well for a child’s room.
Layouts with 1.5 or 2 bathrooms make mornings smoother and provide more privacy as kids grow older.
1. Family Apartment with Two Bathrooms
This two-bedroom home is a smart choice for families. The separate kitchen and living room create distinct spaces for cooking, dining, and relaxing, while a full bathroom and a guest WC make daily routines and busy mornings easier for everyone.
2. Bright Layout with Dual Balconies
A clever design with dual balconies gives parents and kids their own private outdoor retreats. Inside, the primary bedroom has plenty of space for a king bed and storage, while the second bedroom is large enough to grow with a child. The full bath and guest WC make daily routines smoother, and the open living areas feel bright and family-friendly.
For Work and Guests
If you work from home, the second bedroom is the perfect office. It gives you a quiet, dedicated space that can double as a guest room when family or friends visit.
In this case, look for layouts with a hall-access bathroom so guests can use it without stepping into your workspace.
1. Modern Apartment with Office
Do you prefer to work from home? This two-bedroom apartment with a dedicated office is a great fit. The office near the entry has space for a desk, storage, and even a guest chair, while the rest of the layout offers a spacious living room, open kitchen with dining, and a comfortable bedroom.
2. Practical Apartment with Guest Bedroom
This two-bedroom apartment is designed for flexibility. The main bedroom has a full bath, while the guest room can double as a home office. With the bedrooms separated by the open kitchen and living area, plus two bathrooms and a balcony, it’s a layout that works well for everyday life and hosting.
