r/floorplans

We're considering putting an offer on this house, but just wondering if any sober second, third+ eyes can spot any issues we'd be dealing with.

One possibly annoying thing missing is a defined "getting ready to go out" space. The front door has a closet at least but it's a little far from the door, and the back door which is closer to the garage just abruptly leaves the kitchen/living room.

Laundry room is a little small, and I figure if we're going to hang any delicates to dry it would have to be in the foyer.

Basement is intended to have a rental suite but it seems a little convoluted. Two separate crawl spaces seems odd and accessing storage in the left crawl space seems very difficult.

Any other thoughts?

Any feedback on this floor plan?

It’s for a loft dormer extension, particularly interested in any views on the en-suite but all feedback welcome! It’s a terraced house in UK and this will be master bedroom.

Thanks!

For a boutique wellness clinic, i’m torn between two layouts for the washroom and staff workstation area (sink/cabinet) which will be covered by floor to ceiling curtains

Anyone who can help me fix this floor plan without changing the boundary walls?

Need to have 4 rooms for teens with the parents room and leaving a small open below option.

Your insights would be so helpful. Thank you

I’d like to add a door to this section of my home since we’ll be using the space as a primary bedroom. We can’t figure out the best way to incorporate it and could use creative suggestions from the brain trust here!

Details on problems / considerations / preferences:
- there are already two doors near where we want to put this third one that may have to be moved. We are willing to do this but have limited space to do this given one is a bathroom door we want to keep outside the primary bedroom and the other is a closet which naturally has a small space to work with.
- we’re not sure if we can include a pocket door because the left wall on the second photo might be loadbearing, but otherwise that would be the first choice (and we’d have to move the closet door which would be annoying but perfectly fine and doable)
- an angled door would take up semi import space in the bedroom and any door resembling the drawn picture or the tab on the ground representing the door, frame, and wall in this space renders this wall almost unusable (especially when the door is open)
- ideally we would have a 36 inch door since furniture for moving would come through this hallway for the rest of the home. Our contractor says he would need 44 inches of space in order to put a 36 inch door to reinforce the door frame with 2 two by fours on each side.
- we’re working with a 37” hallway

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hello,

We are trying to determine a good way to add to this floorplan a second bedroom on the first floor, and keep a full bathroom on the floor. Our goal is to have two bedrooms as big as they can be. The biggest obstacle seems to be the stairs going to the second floor, access to which requires additional floorspace to be used on a hallway.

Could anyone see how it might be done, with or without moving the stairs?

Thank you.

Does anyone have any ideas in a way to switch the pantry to wear the dining area is? And move the kitchen back further to where the pantry is? The island is going to be flipped horizontally and moved toward the new kitchen. My only problem with doing that, is the pantry door has to be way far down, almost to the dining table. Thoughts? The coffee/wine bar can get deleted and we can take a door from that blank space to get one foot of the hallway…

I wanted to have the shower pushed up against glass, but the space between the shower and vanity just seems cramped and gross?

I’m working on my first home layout and would really appreciate some feedback. I'm limited by funds to 200m2 so trying to make the best I can with the main idea of getting 4 bedrooms and ideally also a media room (but not a must). I'm looking for feedback or any tips / suggestions. Thank you for your time!

We're considering putting an offer on this house, but the living, dining, kitchen area feels like it needs some work.

The kitchen feels small with all these angles in it, and the stairs to the basement Are pretty far out of the way.

The living room is long and narrow, which I expect would be difficult to o change but could be more comfortable with better furniture arrangements.

There is a fireplace in the living that is not able to be moved.

The black and white is the basement.

The layout as is is workable, but not ideal, and I lack the creativity to imagine what we could do with it.

Hellooo! I’d really appreciate some help with the layout for bedroom 3 (marked on the floorplan).
It’s on the smaller side, so I’m trying to make it feel functional but still comfortable. I definitely need to fit a double bed, and there’s currently no wardrobe installed,I was thinking of placing one along the wall opposite the door, or possibly doing some sort of built-in storage there.

My initial idea was:
Double ottoman bed placed against the longest wall to maximise floor space
Wardrobe/built-in storage along the opposite wall
Maybe a small vanity or desk near the window for natural light

I’m just not sure if this would make the room feel cramped or if there’s a better way to improve the flow. Ideally, I’d love to include a bit of storage and possibly a small seating/vanity area if it fits without overcrowding.

I’ve attached the floorplan, I’d love to hear any layout suggestions or improvements to what I’ve come up with!

Thank you so much in advance :))

Big Three on this House plan

1. 8 or 9 foot high ceilings (If I have the cathedral in the living, kitchen, dining area, peak will be around 11' 8")

2. Bulkheads above the cabinets, how will this look in the cathedral ceiling

3. General Layout?

I earlier provided a mock floor plan but after reading comments I've realised it's pretty crap one 😁...so this attempt number 2 with a new floor plan from scratch.

I'm building my first home in the NT (Australia). Attached is a pic of the floor plan I am quite interested in as well as a pic of the lot (w/ direction included). FYI my main constraints are that I only have 200m2 - 210m2 room to play with due to budget.  The floor plan is taken from GJ Gardner and it is the Edgewater 205. What are your comments and feedback in regards to it?

Some thoughts thanks to the wonderful feedback I received recently:

- Plan to not have 4 bedrooms + dedicated media room anylonger. But instead 3 bedrooms and a 4th enlarged bedroom w/ a robe that is meant to act as a Media / Study multipurpose room. This will allow for all bedrooms to be slightly bigger than original plan.
- Plan to increase Bedroom 2 to make it at least 3.5 x 3.0. The wall between Bed 2 and the Bath will be moved downwards and the corridor move slightly to the right.
- Keep same size of bath but moved downwards slightly.
- Combine Bedroom 3 and 4 to make one bigger Bedroom 4 w/ robe that is meant to be used as a Study /Media Room. The wall to the street will be in line with the foyer and garage wall line.
- Make the Lounge smaller and convert this into Bedroom 3 w/ robe. The wall between the new Bedroom 3 and the garage will be in line with the wall from the moved Bath.
- Move the wall at the end of Bedroom 1 to make the house slightly longer than 21.8m2, resulting in an expansion of Bedroom 1 to at least 3.3 x 3.8, resulting also in expansion of the ensuite.

I know we are all strangers but I thank you inmesely for giving your time and insights in my journey to building a respectable home!

First photo is the current first floor (Apt 1), which will become the main living area (kitchen, dining, living room). Second photo is the proposed new floor plan. The upper unit is being converted to purely bedrooms and bathrooms.
Main things I’m trying to figure out:
•Does the flow between the first floor living spaces make sense?
•Would you change anything about the room placement or layout?

Still early enough to make changes; open to honest takes.

The home is 38’ by 22’. The first photo has the dimension. I do not care about window locations on the right or back side of the home. The windows in the left side will stay where they are but are not in the photos. The yellow highlighted portion down the middle indicated it is a load bearing wall.

I’m finding the layout really odd. If you were to renovate this house, how would you make it for a family with 2 kids, and space for a granny flat on the lower floor. The lack of rooms on the upper floor and many bedrooms (reception rooms..?) on the main floor are really odd to me.

We are working with an architect and in the process of drawing up our first floor plan. I don’t love the long, dark hallway from garage to kitchen and I wish we could have a breakfast nook. I always wish my back door was closer to kitchen area. Does anyone have any ideas how to make this happen without adding square footage?

Hi everyone! I’m moving into a new apartment tomorrow and it is really small. I’m struggling to find space for a dining table, couch, and TV, while still having space to walk. Attached is are photos of the empty apartment and photos of what the old tenants had previously. Let me know if you have any ideas!
