- Small homes, with fewer than 2,000 square feet of living space, are intended to be simple to build. These homes often are simple in terms of floor plans and ornamentation, yet they can have a lot character and feel much larger if well planned. House plans for small homes include two-story, ranch, cottage and even vacation homes (among many others).
- Two-story homes provide expansive living space, yet can still feel cozy and warm. If you are interested in a two-story home, be sure to understand the difference between two-story and one-half story house plans. Two-story house plans position all the bedrooms on the top story, while one-half story plans position the master bedroom on the main floor with additional bedrooms on the top floor. Both of these house plan options come in a variety of styles and square footage.
- Ranch house plans are designed for one-story living. Although floor plans can be spacious and luxurious, they also can be simple and traditional with basic room and floor plan arrangements.
- Cottage plans include simple and cozy bungalows, cabins, craftsman-built homes and (of course) cottages. These homes can look ornate and intricate, or they can be more informal based on preference. Plans can vary in square footage, but floor plans are typically compact.
- If you desire a basic home, don't be afraid to search for vacation house plans. While these homes are designed to be second homes for some, they can actually be perfect primary residencies for those seeking a simple and comfortable home. Vacation house plans are small, open and informal. These plans also accommodate a variety of settings, including flat ground, slopes or hills.
