First and most important thing: Three bedrooms and two baths. I like making all of my couple have two kids, a boy and a girl.
I'm assuming you're talking about a second home? I've never been able to manage more than 2 bedrooms and generally only 1 bath with $20K. Since I've taken to using the "No 20K Handouts" mod, early budgets are often even more restrictive.

And yes, big enough bedrooms for double beds. What are people thinking when they make these teeny-tiny bedrooms? I like big airy rooms in general anyway.
What do you consider a "big bedroom?" My standard bedroom is 4x5. That's big enough for a double bed and a dresser. Larger always seems like a waste of space, since you don't want to do anything like put a TV in a room where a Sim might be sleeping.
Not to mention the jealousy problems that arise if a Romance sim gets caught in bed with the wrong person because someone wandered in to do something with an object in the room.

Building is ultimately really the only reason why sims continues to keep my interest. I procreate my sims simply so I can build a new house and see how it plays.
I agree, but building has gotten so mechanical for me now that I'm considering downloading lots to play. I have a lot of standard solutions to most rooms like bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms. I feel like the houses I build are all starting to look the same.

I use my (real) neighborhood for inspiration. I love architecture and I am always craning my neck while driving some place to take a quick collection of how some new or interesting house is built. When I run out of ideas I go searching for victorian houseplans, I have built some really neat (imo) 1800's victorian houses that I liked playing with.
However I have a habit (read addiction) of breaking things so I tend to delete my sim neighborhoods often and start over.
I also wanted to add that I often find some kickass inspiration from this site as well

Big enough for a double bed and sometimes a napping couch/lounge chair and a bookshelf. Sometimes some plants or a fountain. I'm big on bedroom fountains. I don't have dressers, ever. They're always blocking my view.
I've seen 2x4's that could hold a single bed. The End. It's workable for a kid, but it's so...claustrophobic. I'd rather have a big room that can hold 4 or more single beds and make everybody share it.
I usually have about a zillion sims to a house, so I like lots of empty walking-around space so they aren't crashing into each other and having actions dropping out of their queue.
