I would say a 20/25" X 20/25" would be a good compromise between size and performance. Anything larger may be getting a little large for the average living room. Especially if you have little ones around, it will only be a matter of time before someone destroys your creation. It's easy to do. h**l even my cat found my little antenna "interesting". After a good swat and yell he's decided to leave it alone Do a "bcb loop antenna" Google search and see what's out there. It doesn't have to be scientifically built. Just following a few simple rules and it should work well. None of the dimensions are critical so to say. One thing I've learned is you'll want a variable cap that drops to at least 10/pf and goes up to 400/pf or better. This will allow easily full coverage of the BCB.
I think the 20x25 would be a good size for a bedroom application.
