Short answer: bigger isn’t always better
The best modular home is not necessarily the largest one you can afford. Start with how you live, then consider bedrooms, storage, home working, guests, future needs, accessibility and outdoor space.
One-bedroom modular homes
A one-bedroom home can suit couples, individuals, downsizers, guests or other accommodation needs, subject to planning. Modular Home Ireland currently lists 45 m² one-bedroom models at €103,500 and 45 m² one-bedroom models at €125,000 on its models pages.
Two-bedroom modular homes
Two-bedroom layouts are flexible for couples, small families, guests or a home office. Modular Home Ireland currently lists 45 m² two-bedroom models at €103,500, 45 m² models at €125,000 and 50 m² models at €129,000.
Three-bedroom modular homes
A three-bedroom layout provides additional flexibility for families, guests, home working or changing needs. Modular Home Ireland currently lists its 57.74 m² three-bedroom Type A at €149,500 turnkey, with a separate
turnkey-with-groundworks price shown on the model page.
How to avoid choosing a home that’s too small
Think beyond today’s household. Consider future family needs, overnight guests, working from home, utility space, storage and changing mobility needs. It can be easier to solve these issues during design than after construction.
How to avoid paying for space you don’t need
Good design can make a compact home work extremely well. Open-plan living, built-in storage, multifunctional rooms and efficient circulation can reduce wasted floor area.
Think about furniture before finalising the layout
Draw beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining tables, desks, kitchen appliances and storage into the floor plan. This simple exercise can reveal whether a room works in practice.
Consider the site as part of the home
Floor area is only one part of the experience. Orientation, daylight, views, privacy and outdoor space can make a significant difference to how spacious a home feels.
Current modular options
Modular Home Ireland currently offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom models, alongside customised turnkey solutions. Its website presents the range as energy-efficient homes designed around different
lifestyles and budgets.
