r/floorplans

Growing family and taking over a family bungalow. Ideally would like to have three bedrooms, 2 full washrooms and a powder room on the first floor. Willing to add an extension behind the garage (roughly 100-150 square feet for additional storage/mudroom). I'm comfortable with large changes and there does not need to be access to the deck from the rear of the home. For context, the first floor is around 1300 square feet. Any ideas on how to redesign the floorplan?

I'm finally ready to redesign my home office, and I'd love some fresh eyes because I feel like I've hit a wall.

This room is the first room off our living room, right when you walk into the house. It has beautiful glass French doors, so it's very visible from the main living space. I want it to feel warm, elevated, and intentional—not like a typical office.

A few things that are staying:

• My standing desk (I'd like to keep it where it is by the front windows if possible because I love the natural light.)
• My cat's litter box needs to stay somewhere in this room.
• The room's function is primarily an office, but I'd love to create a cozy reading corner.

My current ideas:

• Remove the tall white IKEA storage cabinet.
• Put an oversized reading chair in that corner (I'm currently obsessed with the Crate & Barrel Gather Deep chair-and-a-half as inspiration).
• Add a low walnut credenza next to it instead of another tall cabinet.
• Potentially add a very subtle wallpaper above the chair rail only to bring in some warmth and color without overwhelming the room.
• I'm completely open to replacing the rug.
• I'm completely open to replacing the artwork.
• I'd like the room to feel timeless rather than trendy.

One thing I've realized while shopping: I don't gravitate toward trendy furniture. I like pieces that feel clean, architectural, quiet, and tailored. I've discovered I really dislike fluting, cane, black metal accents, gold hardware, open shelving, and anything that feels overly farmhouse or mid-century. I seem to prefer furniture that almost feels like built-in cabinetry.

I'd especially love advice on:

• The overall layout
• Whether the reading chair is the right idea
• Credenza placement and sizing
• Wallpaper (or whether I should skip it)
• Rug ideas
• Art ideas
• Lighting (floor lamp? new ceiling fixture?)
• Whether there's anything I'm completely overlooking

I'd love for this room to feel collected and designer-worthy while still being practical enough to work from every day.

Pictures attached. Thanks in advance!

I’ll start off by saying I did my best to estimate the sizes of each item because I’m by no means good at measurements especially when trying to draw something out

The top picture is the way I’d prefer to have the layout for this room and the bottom picture is how my husband says he’d prefer everything

He said he’d want the crib to kind of protrude from the wall instead of sit horizontally against the wall so you could get to the baby from both sides of the crib which just does not seem like a big deal to me??

I feel like in my layout (top) there would be more area in the center of the room to move around especially if we’re trying to soothe the baby and need to walk around/bounce her

I also feel like in my husband’s layout (bottom) the dressing table area would be WAY too cramped and that it would become incredibly frustrating

He thinks his layout would be much more functional and I just cannot see that happening in my head or on paper. The crib would jut out so we’d have to walk around it and all I can picture is me absolutely exhausted in the middle of the night trying to walk around the room and constantly bumping into the crib or possibly tripping

I feel like my layout would utilize the space the best but he does not agree and I also find my layout more aesthetically pleasing which he does not care about that part of it

As of now we are definitely keeping the queen bed and the tall dresser in the room.. just need a little guidance as to which layout would make more sense? Or even if anyone has any other suggestions?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I've been looking at these 2 pre con houses in Markham that are selling for exactly the same price. One is 31 lot with 2548 interior sqft and the other is a 38 lot with 1638 sqft. If you were to pick one out of these 2, which one would you pick? Would you rather have a larger lot with less interior space or smaller lot with extra 900 sqft in space?

hello everyone, my master/primary bedroom has a very small and narrow walk in closet. its 3.5 feet wide and L shaped. Can anyone help me configure a design that will work. Im open to rods, diy built ins etc. Anyone that knows how to do visual design or 3d rendering that would be helpful .

Hi all I’m looking for some guidance or advice on how to layout this primary bedroom to incorporate a substantial closet. My husband has suggested an 8 x 14.5 closet to the right of the main doors but it does make the actual bedroom space narrow and small. Please let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions.

A few things to note is that we don’t want to put our bed on the wall with the two windows. Additionally the closet we have proposed has already been framed but we are open to modifying it, I’ll include some pictures for reference.

I just bought a small rancher with 804sqft above ground and 804sqft below ground for a total of 1,608sqft. It currently has 3 beds and 2 bath. I have a plan to make it a 4 bed 3 bath.

In my sketch above I show how I plan to add a master bath on the main floor, open up the kitchen for open concept and add a second bedroom in the basement along with a kitchenette and family room area.

I’m open to any suggestions, especially in the basement as there’s a few different options for utilizing the space.

Thank you in advance!

Hey y'all, we are about to lock in our plans, and would love some fresh eyes to look over it and point out any issues. If there's any suggestions or glaringly obvious mistakes we are making, we'd be so grateful if you would flex your architectual intellect at us.

The house faces the south east and is on a narrow block in Australia. Whilst the house isn't upside down, the reason we have no windows in the family room is because this wall sits right on the boundary line. All measurements are in milimetres.

I particularly don't like the upstairs WIR and Ensuite layout. I feel like there's a lot of wasted space in the WIR, especially considering the big window on the front of the house meaning that front wall of the WIR is sorta useless. I'm thinking to move the WIR sliding door and walkway to this front window bit and somehow working the bathroom space around this. Could an L shaped bathroom work here? If someone can figure out a bathroom/ensuite layout that doesn't involve you stepping into the toilet bowl to shower, or pooping in full view of the street, then you are a layout genius. I just can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not happy with the guest washroom but needed a way to keep it airy and private.

Hi everyone! I just got the floor plan for my new apartment (total area is around 69.5 square meters) and I would love to get your creative ideas on how to optimize the space and layout.

The plan shows the exact measurements in meters. It includes balconies, bedrooms, and a main living area, but I'm open to suggestions on how to arrange the furniture, maximize storage, and make the most of the space.

Any advice on furniture placement, kitchen layout, or room division would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

This is a modest plan for a hilly lot which has a limited buildable area. There is a remarkable view of mountains and lake to the south.

Looking for some ideas on what you’d do with this kitchen/dining layout.
We’re considering a pretty major kitchen renovation and are debating whether to remove most (or all) of the wall between the kitchen and dining room, but I’m having a hard time visualizing what the best end result would look like.

A few things:
We want a much more modern, high-end feel.
We’d like the kitchen to feel larger and more open.
We still want a proper dining area.
We are NOT planning to open up the great room.
We need to keep the existing access points from the hallway into the kitchen and from the kitchen into the great room.

The bay window/deck area nice but it the access part to the deck so there is a door there that we need to keep open access to.

What I’m struggling with is that the space isn’t a simple square or rectangle. If I remove the dining room wall, where does the island go? Does the dining table stay on the left? Would you do a half wall? No wall at all? Built-ins? Banquette seating?

Part of me thinks opening the wall up would make the whole area feel amazing. Another part of me worries it could end up feeling awkward or like one giant room without any definition.

If this was your house, what would you do?

Floor plan attached. I’d love to see sketches, examples, or hear from anyone who’s renovated a similar layout.

I'm trying to figure out the best furniture layout for my small studio apartment and would love some fresh eyes on it.

I've attached a floor plan image based on a sketch I made.

(All measurements are in inches)

​The Bed: Needs a dedicated spot, ideally feeling somewhat separated from the rest of the space if possible. I'm looking to buy a double size bed.

​The Couch: I don't own one yet, but I want a big couch that is long enough for me to comfortably lay down on. I'll be purchasing this specifically to fit the space.

​The Coffee Table: Will go right in front of the couch.

​The TV: I want a 55-inch TV. It can either be wall-mounted or placed on a media unit, but getting a good, comfortable viewing distance from the couch is a major priority.

The wardrobe: There is none in the appartement and I bought one and need to fit it somewhere.

Desk/workspace: If there is room somewhere, I would like to put a desk to work on the computer.

Please feel free to get completely creative with this! Whether it's unique zoning, multi-purpose furniture, or an unexpected angle, I am totally open to out-of-the-box suggestions. I'm trying to make this place as cozy and functional as possible.

​I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts or seeing any rough sketches/ideas you have for a layout that would best suit my apartment.

Don't hesitate if you have any questions.

I’m looking to add an addition to the house if feasible. Can anyone give an idea of how to go about adding one on with this floorplan?

Goal: Creating the most functional layout for my shotgun-style apartment

Soon I'm going to be moving out to this apartment with the floor plan above, and here's my personal attempt in fitting in what I need into this apartment and keeping it as functional as possible, a living space, a dining space, a office setup, and a bed.

A note about my annotation's, the dotted lines are how I imagined the flow of the walkway would be like since it's so linear, and the semi dotted lines are my furniture fully expanded

For my living space, since I know that most days I won't have guest over I opted for a lift top coffee table to dine at, while being able to watch TV, additionally I love collecting music and gave myself a corner where I plan to put a armchair and vinyl player. As well, it's anchored by a daybed that acts as a couch most times but is a bed for when guests come over.

For my Kitchen/Dining space I used a expandable kitchen island that can seat up to 8 player when fully expanded. I plan to buy stackable chairs for the occasion as well.

For my bedroom space, I fitted a full sized bed and a office setup.

While my main goal for my apartment is to maximize the functionality as much as possible I still feel for some things to be desired For starters, I work from home and feel that having my office space within my bedroom can make me feel sorta closed off. As well I like to somehow fit a drop-off area near the entrance for my shoes and various accessories.

I am designing my forever home, but my kitchen has me stumped. I’m still learning the software I’m using. I did not want to pay for CAD so it’s a bit wonky, but it gets the point across before I draw plans by hand. Please give me suggestions on layout (or any other advice)!

Here’s some background information:
\- first photo is where I’m at, but I don’t love it
\- I absolutely want my sink under my window with open shelves beside it. See second photo.
\- I would love for my stove top and oven to be separate. My husband is a chef and I love to cook, so the kitchen can get chaotic when we are in there together.
\- I do not want my microwave on the countertop or as the stove vent. Is there a such thing as a oven/ microwave stack?
\- last photo is inspiration for my Spanish/ Mediterranean style home. I will be using terracotta tile, creamy white walls and cabinets, and light sandy granite countertops.
\- walk in pantry is on the northwest corner
\- south exits into open concept dining/ living with cathedral ceilings

1. I want to change the TV unit near to duct.
2. So it makes large hall and looks empty. any ideas to make it better.
