Characteristics of a Small Home
Small home plans come in a variety of design styles, but here are a few common characteristics that you can expect to find in a small floor plan!
Open Floor Plans
Design elements in small homes are all about maximizing your space. That’s why small homes tend to have open floor plans to help the space feel larger!
Tall Ceilings
Tall ceilings are another way to help smaller homes feel larger without increasing square footage. They also help let in natural light which opens up the space.
Split Bedrooms
Small homes often feature rooms on the opposite side of the home. This provides many benefits, such as added privacy and noise reduction across the home. Whether you want a private owner’s suite, home office, kids bedroom, or something else, this is a great layout idea for smaller floor plans.
Large Windows
Big windows are typically put in smaller homes and placed above eye level to help the space feel larger and let in natural light without compromising privacy.
