the more time you spend detailing your plan, the better.&nbsp; Before you consult with an architect or other qualified professional to draw up your blueprint and list of materials for your house plan, consider some of these strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Bedroom<\/strong>:&nbsp; You probably have a pretty good idea for how many bedrooms you will need, both for now and for the future; think 5 to 10 years from now.&nbsp; A master bedroom should be as luxurious and as private as you want.&nbsp; List everything you would like to have in your bedroom suite.&nbsp; Think about amenities you want and activities you want to do so you can plan your space and electrical outlets adequately.&nbsp; Arrange the sleeping area, sitting area, exercise area, bathroom, and other areas, so they are convenient but don\u2019t get in the way of one another.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Bathroom<\/strong>:&nbsp; A bathroom should be close to the rooms it will serve the most.&nbsp; If you enjoy five-star hotel room amenities at home, you and your architect should come up with a bathroom resembled the spas of your dream (with ample storage).&nbsp; Allow for flexibility in the future such as resale value and physical limitations.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Kitchen<\/strong>:&nbsp; Consider what you use the most:&nbsp; the stove, the refrigerator, and the sink.&nbsp; Positioning the refrigerator, stove, and sink in a close triangle without crowding yourself will save you a lot of steps when you are preparing meals.&nbsp; Plan so your kitchen is accessible from the outside or the garage; it will be easier to take out recycling or bring in the grocery.&nbsp; If you normally pay your bills in the kitchen, design a built-in desk with storage capacity and keep it out of the main traffic flow.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Dining room<\/strong>:&nbsp; There is something elegant about a formal dining room.&nbsp; May be it\u2019s the thought of having a room completely devoted to dining and entertaining or the idea of enjoying a sit-down meal with family and friend.&nbsp; For a fine dining experience, incorporate adequate lighting, windows for the views, and wall space for china cabinets.&nbsp; Plan for conceal storage spaces for linens and silverwares.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Living room<\/strong>:&nbsp; When planning a living room, identify the activities that your family enjoy and design the room accordingly:&nbsp; Adequate electrical outlets and seating area for watching television; plenty of storage cabinets for the electronic gadgets; natural light source for reading.&nbsp; The ideal window arrangement includes at least two exposures for even lighting throughout the day.&nbsp; If the view is not pleasant or you need more wall space, consider a skylight or transom window.&nbsp; As a rule, the higher the window, the more light gets into the room.&nbsp; Knowing how you will use the room helps determine whether the room is sized appropriately.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>The entry<\/strong>:&nbsp; The main entrance should be inviting, easy for visitors to find, includes storage space, and have adequate room to remove coats.&nbsp; A small space is all that\u2019s needed to get people in and out of the house and to collect coats and belongings.&nbsp; The main entry area should offer direct access to living and entertaining areas.&nbsp; Arrange the main entryway so that it does not have direct views to areas of the house that you wish to keep private.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Special spaces<\/strong>:&nbsp; If you enjoy relaxing and entertaining outdoor, plan for covered and screened porches, outdoor kitchen, and fireplace; these designs take advantage of all the outdoor living has to offer.&nbsp; Include a third garage bay to house a workshop or potting bench.&nbsp; If you enjoy reading, include built-in bookcases and window seats with bin for extra storage space in the room you are most likely to read.&nbsp; A sunroom might be a place to grow plants year round, to soak up the sunshine on a bright but chilly day, or to simply take advantage of the view.&nbsp; Laundry facilities should be close to bedrooms and away from entertaining areas. &nbsp;Remember to group plumbing needs together to save on rough-in expenses.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An original house plan costs 15% or more of the construction budget.&nbsp; Look and organize your search at thousands of floor plans from home improvement magazines, the Internet, and home tours to narrow down your criteria; then you can hire an architect to help you create a custom home plan that\u2019s designed to please for generations to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Draw up a set of house plan is an exciting step when you begin to see your dream on paper;
