Floor plan - Suggestions wanted before finalizing plans
Comments (34)The circulation was what bothered me the most in the original plan. Oh, and those skewed closets by the mud, kind of like just to have skewed lines. The kitchen did not have enough counter space, kitchen was looking to small for this house. All I did was fine tuning what you already had. I see not need of 2 stairs that close to each other. There are options that I can suggest but that means to change the footprint, while this was traced above your plan, to scale. I see no problem with the master entry off the dining room. The master bath could be lay out in a different way as there is enough room. I squared off the master bath corner as the shape you had only will complicate the roof and make it more expensive. Having a refrigerator side view from the great room is not that nice but if you prefer to have the refrigerator next to the small pantry, it is ok. You may not need a bulkhead between kitchen and great room. The change of ceiling and height may be enough but the way the columns are placed, you can have a think bulkhead. Without columns, you can have arches similar to the ones in your pics. I did not detail a few things, like windows or some exterior doors..

Comments (9)Yes, they are 15" deep base cabinets, was thinking it would give more room to maneuver in there but could definitely go with deeper. We would use it mainly for food, but also like the idea of having countertop space for appliances. With an outlet there we could even have the flexibility to plug in and have working appliances. The idea is open cabinets so while I like drawers I believe they would cost more, and they would be a little less less flexible with storage and also prevent me from being able to see everything at a glance. We would plan to have shelves above the base cabinets, maybe just installed by the builder instead of actual cabinets. Didn't get around to putting those in with the IKEA planner as I'm not sure we would order cabinets for that. Anyone done something like this?...See MoreHelp finding Foyer lighting
Comments (1)My first thought is cohesion is good but matchy is not. I also assume you mean exterior lights, what does the outside look like? Also what is the ceiling height?...See More- 3 years ago
