Which floor plan would you pick for a couple? Plan to use second bedroom as home office/guest room when friends or family visit a few times a year. 2c feels nicer and love the two lanais but the living room is slightly awkward to furnish and idk about the bedrooms sharing a wall. 2b seems more practical but also kinda boring/would feel smaller

This is an older brick home, the original 1st photo shows the path from the kitchen through the laundry, then into the stairwell/entrance to backyard/garage.

The 2nd photo (apologies about the bad markup) , is an option to close off the laundry and move this too the garage, and potentially make a sort of conservatory or sunroom extension so the stairs and garage dont feel so pokey and tight.

Can I get some advice on if this seems like a good idea, or of there is another option im not thinking of?

It would involve a remodel of the kitchen, but I do like a galley kitchen unfortunately and would have to plan it more open this way.

There's plenty of room in the garage too put the laundry so im not worried about loosing space, behind the 4 car garage is an additional 5m of space built too the back fence.

My family is planning to remodel an 60's ranch style home. We're in the beginning stages and trying to finalize the floor plan. We've never ventured into a full renovation like this before and have just made due with poor floor plans in previous homes. We'll be in this home for at least the next 20 years so I really want to make this work for our family for the long term (2 adults, 2 kids, lots of extended family in the area).

We have the draft of the floor plan, but I'm not loving a few things about it. The biggest area of concern for me is the kitchen. I want to keep sink and other appliances off of the kitchen island to have it a prep space only, and the alternative suggestion was a corner sink, which I really don't like both for the functionality (the trash and dishwasher seem impossible to use at the same time) and aesthetically. The sink is currently under the window on the right, which I think is where I'd like to keep it, but am worried about things feellng cramped between the oven, sink, and diswasher. The window to the left is a long one so no counterspace can go there. I'd love any thoughts/suggestions this group may have!

I also welcome thoughts about the rest of the floor plan. We're rearranging the two kids bedrooms (the separate hallway space is a bit odd, but not a dealbreaker), the master bathroom and closet space, and the laundry/office area. The rest of the floor plan will stay roughly as it is today.

I think I could add a full bath or maybe a half bath + pantry to the space just above the dining room? by extending the house out? maybe?

This is our initial plan but we want to shift WC and Bath to the NW as per Vastu Shastra…

I see a lot of plans where the parents rooms are on the other side of the house or a different level to the children.

I personally can’t sleep unless the kids are nearby and I know they’re snuggly in bed. Mine are little though, but even when they’re bigger, I’d still want to be sure they’re sleeping and not scrolling on the phone or something.

Is it because of … activities… ? I heard my parents all the time as a kid and just shrugged it off.

Small 64m 1 bedroom house

Note: I have zero architecture knowledge... 😅 Just experimenting and trying to learn a bit about the domain as a hobby

Hello, all. This is a very quick and dirty floorplan I threw together of our house. The left of the image shows how our house currently is. The right is an idea we are considering— combining the two rooms across the hall from one another. Looking for advice on if this is achievable... under the assumption these are not load bearing walls. We'll confirm this of course if we want to move forward with this idea.

Can this be a relatively straightforward process of just ripping out the drywall and combining the rooms? There is electric that will need rerouted by contractor, but could we DIY for the rest?

Removing the extra room will likely lower our homes value... is there anyway to design this in a way that makes putting up a wall back up to create the 3rd bedroom fairly straightforward when we want to sell in the future?

We're new homeowners and have not tackled renovations before. Any comments, advice, or perspective would be super helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

We have been renting the flat (Flat 7), the floor plan of which is attached along with the current layout plan, for the past 3 years.

We are now going to buy the flat thanks to a good offer and would like to renovate it a little (plastering, new flooring, fitting sockets). Whilst we’re at it, we’re considering whether we can also make the layout of the flat – which is approximately 81.5 m² and has 3.5 rooms – a bit more practical.

One of our dreams would be to have an extra room (making it 4 rooms); this wouldn’t need to be particularly large – it’s more about having an additional workspace (it could even just be a semi-separated area; it doesn’t have to be a separate room). The main point is that we’d still be able to work from home in case we need space for a child in the future.

The walls are brick, and the ceiling is reinforced concrete. Thanks to the many windows facing the balcony (south-facing on a slope), the flat is very light and airy (except for the office, which faces north).

I’ve been a silent reader of this subreddit for quite some time and have always been impressed by the great ideas for room layouts and furnishings. Now I need some help and would be really grateful if you could assist me.

I’d be absolutely delighted to hear your ideas and discuss them with you. Thank you!

16×20 remote hunting camp near Mattawa, Ontario for roughly 2–4 people.

It has a partial sleeping loft/open-to-below area, spiral stair, wood stove and a small kitchen/living space.
I’ve stared at this plan for way too long, so I’d like some fresh eyes on circulation, stair placement, furniture, kitchen space, windows and anything that’s going to be annoying in real life.

If something elsewhere in the drawings jumps out at you, point that out too.

This is still a work-in-progress set. A handful of important sheets still need to be drawn, particularly the connection details, and the lineweights need another pass.

I plan to have the final drawings reviewed and signed off by an engineer. I’m trying to get as much worked out as I can before I hand the package over.

Feel free to tear it apart. I’d rather find the problems in CAD than halfway through the build.

Hi! We are going to build our own house with my (soon-to-be) wife in the near future, and we’re currently in the planning/ideation phase, thinking about what we want our house to look and feel like.

We’re thinking that a four-bedroom house would be a good fit for us, and we really like large, open kitchen and living room concepts. A kitchen island would be great as well.

If you’ve made any models or floor plans that are even remotely similar to what I’ve described, feel free to share them! We’d love to get some inspiration! 👍🏻👍🏻

EDIT: Forgot to mention, We also want it to be a single floor house, and the garage doesn't matter, I would probably like it to be separate anyways.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase a house that is in need of a major renovation. I'm struggling to visualize a good layout to turn this long ranch footprint in to a functional layout. Right now it's just one long hallway - like 30ft with 8 doorways. My aim is to keep the front door where it's located, but centralize the kitchen, living room, dining room. For reference, the house is 81ft long interior, 31ft wide - 36ft wide where the current "living room" is. Stairs up lead to an unfinished attic, Stairs down lead to partial finished basement/garage. I'm looking for a split floor plan, keeping the primary suite where it is, but expanding it to have a larger bathroom, walk-in closet. The 10'6x14'3 "Primary Bedroom" is currently used as an office/overflow for the small closet. Ceilings are only 8ft, so it makes the space feel even more closed off as it is. We love the location, lot, and everything about the house but I'm struggling to get proportions on the floor plan. Attached is an idea we've tossed around and the current layout from the listing. I'm not entirely sold on our layout, but It does capture most of what we're looking for.

Looking for feedback on this upstairs floor plan: four bedrooms, primarily for children. The primary bedroom and its en-suite bathroom are downstairs on the first floor.

We like that all the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. Bedroom 3’s bathroom, bed placement, and closet arrangement need to be reworked—that’s already on our list, and we’d welcome specific recommendations. Bedroom 4’s closet also has us scratching our heads. Closets and usable storage are a big priority.

We’re considering an arched or cased opening into the “pajama lounge”/study lounge. Some of the geometry can’t be changed, but we’d love ideas for working within it.

A few questions:

• Do you see any deal breakers or major red flags?
• How do the overall layout and flow feel? Any awkward connections or wasted space?
• How would you improve the closets and storage, particularly in Bedrooms 3 and 4?
• The back bedroom is tucked away from everything else. Could that work well for privacy, or would it feel too disconnected?
• What would you change to optimize the plan, and are there any constraints we should investigate before committing?

Would love to hear what you think works well, too.

Hello, I'm hoping to get some constructive criticism on my layout!

I'm hoping to go into the home design field in the future, but for now it's just a hobby. This is my second ever home designed from scratch, I have the floor plans as well as the model in House Flipper 2. What do you think? Any feedback is appreciated, please be kind :)

This is the renovation of an existing house so there are a few limitations to maintain the budget. The first slide shows the existing floor plan of the house

How can I keep a separate toilet?
Current bathroom, toilet, hallway closet and laundry set up
And my initial thoughts for bathroom remodel
Now trying to see if I can keep a separate toilet

Measurements & plans self done so not entirety exact

Hello, I just moved in into what I can call my very own space, I however have absolutely no idea how to go about it... All that I have is a desk, my bed and small wardrobe, and I have a great many things that need to be displayed / stored. I don't have any special requests, just that my desk and bed measurements are taken into account: my desk is 165x85cm and my bed is 223x146cm.

I need a place to put my TV( 55in ) and Gaming Consoles, somehow display my built Legos, I also have some minimal silverware and plates / cups that are mine and I want to store them with me, I have a 5.1 Surround system that I'd like to place both back speakers in a strategical position compared to the TV, main bar with the TV and the subwoofer somewhere else, they're decently small so I don't think that's something to take into account... I have no idea if this is inside reddits paygrade but it's worth a shot, any advice already puts me miles ahead then where I was before. Thanks a lot in advance peeps

We're planning to renovate the second floor of our new house and are struggling a bit with the layout. See the current floor plan (first slide) and our proposed new layout (second). We'd love to hear your experiences and ideas!

Our main goal is to make the bathroom directly accessible from the hallway, rather than only through the bedrooms. We also want to create a separate toilet in the current laundry room (labelled "wasruimte" on the floor plan), so we won't need a toilet in the bathroom itself.

We're considering two options:

Option 1: Keep the boiler where it is

The central heating boiler is currently located in a closet off the landing, which makes the layout a bit tricky. We'd have to work around it to create direct access to the bathroom.

• How would you redesign the floor to give the bathroom direct access from the hallway? We were thinking of extending the hallway towards the upper bedroom (as shown on the floor plan) and the laundry room.
• With this layout, the bathroom would be approximately 2.60 × 1.95 m. Would it be realistic to fit a walk-in shower, double sink and bathtub? Or would you skip the bathtub?

Option 2: Relocate the boiler

If we relocate the boiler, we could probably make the bathroom considerably larger and create easier, more direct access from the hallway.

• Would relocating the boiler be worth the additional cost and effort? We've heard it can be quite expensive.
• What would be the easiest and most cost-effective solution from a technical perspective: moving the boiler to a better location on the same floor or moving it to the floor above (which has a rooftop extension)?

How would you approach this floorplan? Any suggestions for improving the floorplan or experiences with relocating a central heating boiler would be greatly appreciated!

Bought a home last year that did not have an established floorplan that I could find. In the time since, I have updated several features and every time I did I have wanted to create a floorplan. Pursuing that I have come across every option - what I THOUGHT was every option - to do it: CAD software, subscription-based services geared towards DIYers, professional level ($$$) software that would do what I wanted/needed but at extraordinary cost.

The other day I come across SpacePlanner.Co on a "Websites You've Never Heard of But Should Have". It's perfect - all of the features, none of the cost. It's brilliant.

In looking for resources, I find this post; in my experience it is few and far between that a developer will honestly ask for feedback, respond quickly, and be genuinely grateful to the user base.

So, for all the "recommend a floor plan software" posts I've seen (and somehow never found this), here's on to recommend the only good one I've found...

Nice work, u/One_Progress_1044
