I think the 3 toys rule works well. And teaching kids to put their toys away when they finish playing or as part of getting ready for bathtime/bedtime routine - that way you don't wind up buried under a mountain of toys but the kids can still play in the hub of the house and be involved rather than having to play in their rooms all the time. That said though, there are occasions when DD prefers to play in her room and that's cool too.
We have basically all toys in the lounge room and very few in bedroom, We have 2 plastic tubs that toys get pulled out of and spread everywhere as well as a small indoor tramp, spin and sing zebra and kids couch, we only have 1 living area so have to make do (is open plan lounge dining but still not huge)
