A good rule of thumb is to get one on the basis that you require at least 1.5 berths per person. Eg Each person has sleeping space for themselves, plus 50% of a person for their clutter. So a 2 berth will suit one person, a 3 berth will suit 2 people, a 6 berth four people etc.
The snag is that as the number of berths increases, so does the clutter, as a 4 person family with a 6 berth tent will probably have a larger camp stove, chairs, and all sorts of other family gear with them.
The best way to figure out how much room there is would be to go somewhere like Go Outdoors, and get the whole family in a tent. Is there enough room to lie down comfortably without touching the sides, where will the clutter go?, if it's raining, is there enough room to spend time under canvas with chairs, a table, the kitchen etc?
You will be amazed how a large empty tent suddenly feels small when it's got people in it.
Hope this helps.
