Common Home Plans Mistakes

Most of the, Home plans are built with great anticipation and expectation of being the perfect dream home. However, in many cases, what is greeted with excitement later turns into "I wish I'd.. The fact is, we will never be 100% satisfied with the aspects of our Home Plans aspect. We can make our Home Plan as a perfect home plan by taking our necessary time in the beginning to get familiar with the Plans layout. In this way we can avoid regrettable Home Plans flaws.

Each home plan is viewed different to each homeowner. What may be a perfect layout for us may not work so well for others. That being said, most Home plans are within the broad scope so that it can be used by others also. To ensure our home plan is liveable for our family and has the perfect combination of luxury & Comfort, we need to avoid certain pitfall in selecting the Home Plans. Below are the most common errors and Home Plans mistakes we should avoid.

Home Plans to avoid

Too much distance between the Kitchen and Garage
Having to walk from one end of the Home (the garage) to the opposite end of the Home (the kitchen) doesn't seems good for every family menmbers. The main argument is that you can quickly transfer groceries from the car to the kitchen. It is an old argument, yet a powerful one still. Given the fact that grocery shopping happens once or twice a month on average, you would think that the other 300 plus days out of the year trump that reasoning. Nonetheless, the best solution is to make these rooms adjacent or as close to each other as possible.


Choppy room configuration
Don't create too many Plan sated rooms for specific use. This Plans theory make for bad use of square footage. Consider using fewer rooms and making them larger. The larger rooms can then be use as a dual or multi-purpose room such as a home office and guest bedroom. By Planning in this manner, you make your spaces more flexible for future use.


Master bedroom and entry location
The Master bedroom in any home plan is a place that should retain a degree of privacy from the main living spaces. Too close to the kitchen or family room and your sanitary become an extension of those spaces in the way of noise. Try to keep a buffer between the living spaces and the master bedroom.
Another flaw in the master bedroom Plans is having the entry to the bedroom directly or indirectly off the kitchen, family, or breakfast room. These rooms are a gathering place from family and friends. This almost requires that the door to the master bed remain closed at all times to keep it private.


Tight foyer
The first space people see when entering our home is the foyer. If this space is small and dark, well it's just uninviting. We need to make our foyer a welcoming event. It doesn't have to be oversize just comfortable. Keep the start of your staircase a minimum of 5 feet (6 or more if space allows) from the front door. Make the space large enough to fit a small piece of furniture like a chair or console table.


Using a room as a corridor (hallway)
We see this method use in the old shot-gun Homes where you travel from the front room (usually the family room) through the bedrooms to the back (where the kitchen usually is). In this case, it is virtually unavoidable because the Home is so narrow. Gallery style kitchens are used as corridors in tight Plans configurations also. These examples are the exception and not the rule when using rooms as a hallway.


Placement of Kitchen
Kitchens are one of the most important places in any home plan, because our home ministry or say ladies lead this part. It should be near to Breakfast area or dining area. Because it need to carry lots of utensils and foods.


In the typical home plan today, such examples as stated above would destroy the flow of the home Plans. Corridors or hallways are necessary whether we like to have them or not. They connect the rooms of the home and provide passage. The goal is to minimize hallways as much as possible but not affect the overall function of the home.
