A drawing room should always be spacious. After all, that is the welcoming area of the house, be it for guests or yourselves. If it is small, you will feel suffocated or congested, so try to allot as much space as possible to your drawing room. When we were building our new house, my father also discussed with the builder what is the standard size of drawing room. He wanted to make it the largest room, so it was necessary to know the size. But the size of the drawing room will also depend on the overall size of the apartment. So let me share some details about it.

The standard size of a drawing room should be 10 feet * 12 feet but it can go up to 20 feet * 26 feet. The standard size of the drawing room will actually depend on the total size of the house and must be planned accordingly. It will be best if you first select the size of the bedrooms you want and then allot the space for the drawing room. After all, kitchens and bathrooms can be less spacious, but bedrooms and drawing rooms should always be spacious enough.

Apart from the size of the drawing room, some other factors that you must consider while constructing a drawing room are-

If you are planning to have a drawing room just to sit in, you can allot a small space, but if you want to spend most of the time relaxing on your couch, allot as much space as possible to your drawing room.

Please be very selective about the furniture in the drawing room. Do not opt for big furniture if your drawing room is small, and do not opt for very small furniture if your drawing room is a big one. 

I personally believe drawing rooms should always be vibrant. It should make you feel energetic. But if you want to have a calm drawing room, you can always paint your room with soft colours. 

So try to adhere to or follow the standard size of drawing room and other aspects as mentioned above.
