Choosing a floor plan can feel a little like online dating. Swipe left on that awkward hallway, swipe right on that dreamy open kitchen. But unlike a bad date, you’re going to be living with this decision for years. So, how do you pick the perfect floor plan for your forever home? Don’t worry—Andries Builders has your back (and your blueprints).
Think About Your Lifestyle
Are you the host with the most, dreaming of dinner parties and game nights? Or are you more of a cozy-movie-marathon family who loves a snug den? Your lifestyle should guide your layout. If you’re all about entertaining, an open-concept floor plan might be your best friend. If you need quiet nooks, maybe some walls are a good idea (they’re not the enemy, we promise).
Plan for Today and Tomorrow
Sure, your current setup works—but what about five years from now? Thinking about starting a family, working from home, or having relatives visit often? A guest room, office space, or flexible bonus room could save you headaches later. Future-you will thank you.
Don’t Forget the Flow
A good floor plan feels effortless, like the house just “gets you.” Bedrooms tucked away for privacy, kitchens connected to dining areas for easy hosting, and bathrooms where you actually need them (because who wants to trek across the house in the middle of the night?). Pay attention to how you’ll move through your home.
Size It Right
Bigger isn’t always better—it’s about balance. Too small, and you’ll feel cramped. Too big, and you might find yourself cleaning rooms you never use. Think about square footage that matches your lifestyle, not just your Pinterest board.
Make It Yours
At the end of the day, your home should reflect you. Maybe you want vaulted ceilings, maybe you want a sunroom, maybe you just really want a giant pantry (no judgment—we get it). The perfect floor plan is one that makes you smile every time you walk in the door.
At Andries Builders, we believe that floor plan should fit your life—not the other way around. Our team works with you to design a layout that’s functional, beautiful, and uniquely yours. Because your dream home deserves a floor plan that’s more “happily ever after” and less “oops, should’ve added another bathroom.”
