Anyone who has ever designed a house knows the value of a good floor plan. It's usually a drawing produced using a computer program that serves as a visual representation of the spatial conditions of a structure. With it, you can see how a space is going to be divided, from where each room like the kitchen or bathrooms are planned to where windows and doors will be placed. In addition, a floor plan contains the exact dimensions of each space, giving you a better visual as to where everything will be in relation to each other, which makes it easier to furnish each room.

Floor plan with open living area

One of the main advantages of having a floor plan that has exact room measurements down to each square meter, is that it helps present you an accurate visual of the space you have to work with. In this modern family home, the floor plan shows a large hallway where homeowners can welcome their guests. Instead of a basement this home has a utility room that can serve as a laundry room and storage space. It also has a study room with a small guest bathroom, and a massive living area that you can enter from the ante room. As you can see from the plan each door specifies in which direction they open in order to help you plan where you place your furniture. Meanwhile, this home utilizes an open concept kitchen that's separated to the dining area only by a half cooking island attached to the wall.

While not particularly large, the space offers everything you could need in your home, including a beautiful terrace that surrounds a huge chunk of the living area.

Bungalow: All on one floor

Floor plans were previously represented hand-drawn technical drawing, which required a lot of effort to produce in order to properly organize a single room's layout and dimensions. Now, almost all professionals have let go of this tedious process and use computer software instead making it possible to visualize a living space better and designed faster. This way, homeowners and designers can better imagine how the final result will look like with all the furniture and trimmings. For this bungalow everything is located on the ground floor which is ideal for people who prefer a life without stairs or those with mobility problems, like wheelchair-bound individuals and children. Since all rooms are in one floor, most floor plans for bungalows usually look much larger than those of multi-storey houses. As is usually the case, the living room is at the center of the action, while the closed kitchen is located adjoining the dining room. And, since most bungalows don't have basements, this kitchen is also the only way to access a large utility room.

Floor plan before and after

Usually, when purchasing property, floor plans are already made according to a model proposed by an architect. However, if the house is still in the early stages of construction, the buyer can make some adjustment and modifications. In this example, you can see a before and after image, wherein three rooms have been turned into one. The owner opted for a more open concept design for the living area to allow for a much larger space that includes the dining area. Before the conversion, however, it is necessary to check with the professional architects which walls can be brought down to ensure structural integrity.
