What influences the layout
Deciding on the number and location of rooms in a private house of 50 sq. m., you need to take into account the number of people living and their physical capabilities:
- When planning housing for a single person, it is permissible to use the studio principle, combining a kitchen with a dining room or living room. In this case, only the bathroom and sleeping area need to be fenced off. Sometimes additional rooms are allocated for sports equipment, an office or a dressing room.
- A married couple without children can take advantage of a layout that separates the living and sleeping areas. Moreover, the hall is combined with a recreation area and, if desired, with a kitchen.
- Families with children should take care of the children's room. There should be enough space for outdoor games, so a minimum amount of furniture is expected.
- If more than 5 people are expected to live together in an apartment, it is important to ensure that everyone has their own place for privacy. However, in order not to divide a limited space with many walls, you can limit yourself to screens, shelving or partitions, which can be easily installed and removed if necessary.
If a family plans to live with elderly parents, it is worth giving preference to a one-story house of 50 square meters. m. The absence of stairs will make living more comfortable and safe for people whose physical capabilities are limited.
Choosing the type of electric boiler
heating elements new
Models with a tubular electric heater today have no worthy analogues, therefore they are considered the best and occupy about 90% of the market. You probably already know the principle of operation of a heating element: inside a metal tube (body) there is an electric coil, which heats up when electricity is supplied to it. Modern heating elements use special heat-conducting fillers that eliminate the air gap between the spiral and the body, so their efficiency is over 99% (as is the efficiency of all other modern electric boilers).
Construction of a standard heating element electric boiler.
Almost all heating element electric boilers have the usual rectangular body with a hinged mount, in which all the necessary elements and components of the heating system are already assembled from the factory: expansion tank, circulation pump, automatic air vent, safety valve, pressure gauge, temperature and flow sensors, etc.
Therefore, the installation of electric boilers with a monoblock body is as simple as possible and can be done independently: just connect the supply and return pipes. Also, a serious advantage of the new heating elements is the multifunctional programmable automation in models in the middle and higher price segments, which allows you to significantly reduce energy consumption through competent power management.
How to choose an external thermostat for an electric boiler and save up to 30% on heating every month
A well-known disadvantage of heating element models is the formation of a layer of scale on the heating element when hard water is used as a coolant, which is replaced every heating season. To heat water to previous temperatures through a layer of scale, more time and electricity are required, the efficiency decreases to 90 or even 80%.
The best heating elements for electric boilers:

Electrode (ionic)
A visual principle of operation of an electrode heating boiler.
Electrodes located at a certain distance from each other are used as a heating element in ion-type boilers. Each of them has a certain polarity and attracts water ions. But when alternating current is applied, their polarity changes 50 times per second (at a standard frequency of 50 Hz), which causes constant movement of water ions and their subsequent heating.
The advantage of this heating principle is faster heating and the impossibility of scale formation, therefore the efficiency of electrode boilers is stable throughout the entire time. Another significant advantage is 1.5-2.5 times lower cost.
But electrode boilers are not so common due to difficulties in operation. Firstly, to achieve an efficiency of 99% it is necessary to use a special coolant with electrolytic properties (usually from the same manufacturer as the boiler). Secondly, constant direct exposure to electric current greatly accelerates the corrosion of ferrous metals; it is not recommended to use steel and cast iron radiators in conjunction with an electrode boiler. Thirdly, the phases of the electrical network are supplied to the electrodes, and zero is supplied to the boiler body itself, therefore universal grounding is mandatory in compliance with all requirements.
Is it worth using electrode boilers for heating a private house?
The best electrode models of electric boilers:
Photo | Manufacturer and model | Description of features | Cost, rub. |
Galan Geyser 9 | Budget but reliable domestic electrode boiler with a power of 9 kW. It is equipped with a fairly economical, but has very limited automation functionality (separate control panel), which is simple in comparison with heating element models. | 7 800-8 500 | |
Beryl-9 Ion | An underrated 9 kW model from a well-known Latvian manufacturer. It is distinguished by its high reliability and multifunctional automation for this price segment with smooth power adjustment, the presence of economical operating modes, the ability to connect a room thermostat or a GSM module for remote control. Please note that the effectiveness of automation depends on the version (configuration). | 6 000-9 500 |
Induction
Operating principle of induction electric boilers.
The heating element in induction electric boilers is an induction coil and a core (metal pipe) located inside it. When electric current is applied to the coil, it creates a magnetic field that acts on the core through Foucault eddy currents and heats it up. The heated core heats the coolant flowing through it.
The use of induction boilers in an individual heating system is justified only if it is necessary to fill it with antifreeze, oil and other coolants based on ethylene glycol. Other advantages, such as faster heating of the coolant by 50-70%, high reliability and durability, compact dimensions, are justified only in narrow industrial areas, where induction boilers are mostly used.
Are induction electric boilers justified in the heating system of a private home?
The most effective and successful today is one induction model:

It has a 3-stage power adjustment; according to installation practice and owner reviews, there has not been a single case of breakdown for more than 8 years. | 32 000-45 000 |
Layout of the first floor in a two-story house
When planning a house of 50 sq. m., built on 2 floors, the distribution usually follows the principle: the first floor is occupied by common rooms, and the second floor is occupied by bedrooms.
To make such a house seem more spacious visually, it is often supplemented with a terrace, which is especially important for suburban buildings. Most often it is located on the south side, but this is not a prerequisite.
To protect the space from rain, a wide canopy is installed. The presence of enclosing structures or furniture is determined by the conditions of use and the wishes of the owners. This part of the house is often decorated with climbing plants and garden flowers in pots.
The required premises on the first floor are:
- hallway;
- kitchen;
- living room;
- bathroom;
- toilet.
The first room is necessary for changing shoes, as well as storing outerwear. Since very limited space is allocated for this, the minimum number of necessary items is used here.
From the corridor, visitors usually enter the living room, which is considered the central part of the floor. From this room you need easy access to the bathroom and kitchen.
Given the limited space, the bathroom and toilet are combined. If 2-3 people live in the house, you can limit yourself to one bathroom. With a larger number of residents, it is better to make 2, located one above the other. This will eliminate morning quarrels over the line to the bathroom.
The kitchen is either separated into a separate room or combined with the living room. Convenience and beauty of design are important for this room. Then it will be easier for the housewife to find the necessary items, as well as enjoy the cooking process.
Advantages
Depending on the interior decoration and insulation, the house is used year-round or only on summer days. If there is not a lot of free land, then it is recommended to choose a two-story house of 200 sq. m. m. with an attic. The main features include:
- A large selection of finishing materials, it can be concrete, brick, wood or frame structures.
- Stylish and modern facade. Construction stores offer a wide selection of finishes that can add curb appeal to your home.
- Many functional areas. Thanks to the right approach to planning, you can install all the desired functional rooms - a gym, an office, a playroom and a guest room.
- The area allows you to accommodate many rooms.
- You can develop a budget project. The price depends on the architectural complexities.
Second floor premises
House designs include 50 sq. m. The floors are connected by a staircase. Moreover, to save space, the screw type is often chosen. The beauty and aesthetics of the design can be inconvenient to use. And to increase its safety, small railings are added to the steps.
On the second floor there is one large or several small bedrooms. The second option involves adding a small hall, and, if necessary, a small area for a bathroom.

Recommendations for choosing furniture and lighting
To make your home comfortable and practical, designers recommend:
- Use minimal furniture. This will add spaciousness to the rooms and also eliminate the feeling of clutter and disorder.
- Give preference to built-in storage systems that perform their tasks without attracting attention. This will help relieve more space.
- If possible, adhere to the canons of one style in a room not separated by walls. Taking advantage of the possibilities of eclecticism is permissible for people who have certain knowledge in this area.
- Take care of good lighting in the kitchen, office and nursery. If there is a lack of natural light, it is worth installing lamps.
- Limit yourself to dim lighting in bedrooms, bathrooms and recreation areas.
If the space is designed as a studio, it is convenient to zone it using spot lighting.
Daughter's bedroom
Light colors interspersed with olive and yellow, a soft carpet on the floor, a comfortable work area and illuminated shelves for displaying photographs of family and friends - all this truly reflects the needs of a young girl. The original design of the walls, one of which is decorated with voluminous panels with a wavy relief, and the other is covered with wallpaper with a geometric pattern, works on the contrast of clear and smooth lines. Dynamic room interior for an ambitious and active girl.
Stylistic design
For the interiors of small houses, it is permissible to choose:
Scandinavian design, characterized by lightness, conciseness, a combination of sophistication and simplicity, and an abundance of light sources. The style involves expanding the area of the hall at the expense of the kitchen, which makes it easier to receive guests.
The main tone is white, which visually expands the space. It goes well with furniture in wood tones. You can dilute the severity of the color design with bright and stylish interior decorations.
Minimalism, which is similar to Scandinavian design, but differs from it in greater asceticism and a minimum of details. At the same time, by choosing this option, you can create an attractive and practical interior with a limited amount of money.
High-tech, which is valued for functionality, clear lines, a craving for geometric shapes, an abundance of glass and metal parts, non-standard designs and solutions, and a preference for lighting in cold spectrums. The color palette is presented here in black, white, all shades of gray and ashen colors.
Let's summarize: as you can see in the photo of houses of 50 square meters. m., the limited area does not limit the imagination, which sometimes allows you to turn your home into a real work of art.
A well-thought-out layout allows them to be used for both seasonal and permanent residence. To decorate your home, you can use a variety of design solutions. If you are unsure of your own abilities, it makes sense to turn to professionals.
