Choosing a floor plan can be overwhelming and challenging!
Especially when a husband and wife might disagree! How do you resolve this issue? There are better ways than Rock-Paper-Scissors! Hgtv has people write down their must haves and focus on 3 of them. You might try and do that and see where you have common ground and see where you can check off the must haves mutually.
Here are a few things to consider:
- The size of your immediate family (or those who will be living with you in the house) can be the main factor of the square footage and/or number of rooms in your home building plans.
- Determine how often you like to entertain guests, and if you prefer to have a room(s) for them to stay over for extended periods of time.
- Identify the areas that you and your family/friends generally congregate. For example, some families find that they often spend most of their free time gathered in the kitchen area, so there might be a need for an island and/or open concept. Some do not enjoy the noise so would rather have families spend a majority of their time in the game room.
- The work spaces in your house of choice should be compatible with your lifestyle. For example, if you do a lot of yard work or have outdoor hobbies, then you will want a washroom that can be accessed from outside the home. If you have an interest that is noisy (music, woodworking, etc.), then you may need a work space that is far removed from the home’s living areas. Check out our plans to see all of the different options you have.
- Do you have a need for privacy? Your master bedroom might need to be separated from the rest of the house… we have many 1 story and 2 story plans that ensure your privacy.
- Will laundry need to be done while some one is sleeping, or would you rather have have laundry close to all the bedrooms?
