Floor Plan Basics

Finding the right home can be challenging, even if you’ve purchased a home before. When looking for your next home, it’s important to remember that a good floor plan makes life more enjoyable and adds value to the home should you need to sell in the future. Some things to be looking for are as follows:

A well-designed kitchen space with adequate counter space, outlets, and room for appliances.
Determine your entertainment needs so that you will know whether several small, private areas work better for you than a open concept where large groups can cook, visit and dine all at the same time.
Stairways that are located in the front entry or other central location.
Flexible rooms that can be used for different purposes. One person’s second guest room is another’s office or home gym. In order to be considered a bedroom, however, the room must include a closet and window egress in case of fire.
A good bedroom-to-bathroom ratio can make all the difference. Typically two bathrooms for every 3 bedrooms will be sufficient.
Light switches and outlets that have good placement throughout rooms.
