Half the longest diagonal, see Tomservo's posts here at AA.
If it has a floating floor and dry-wall (gyprock in cardboard over timber frames) go with sealed speakers whose bass alignment and roll-off F3 can use that gain & slope best.
If the room has highish bass gain, due to stiffer and thicker walls/floor try reflex (ported) spkrs.
The difficulty with small rooms is more bass modes and dips, careful positioning can deal with some of the problems.
Good 2-ways (stand-mounts or floor mounts) with a 7 to 8 inch frame main driver are IMO a better choice than two minis, or two minis with one sub because of the extra integration and positioning issues, especially if the sub doesn't match your room-gain slope.
