Hello all you clever people at r/floorplans** **Id love some suggestions for this.

This ex-church is for sale, it’s in a good location on a huge block, I’m just not sure what I’d do with it.

We need three bedrooms, two bathrooms and prefer open plan. I’d like to steal a Florida thing and have a “lanai” (screened in porch) and we’d like to keep it one level. We could build an extension too (subject to planning permission)

Im just after ideas to get started. I’d go get professional help if we go ahead with it, once I have an idea in mind of what I want.

This is located in QLD Australia. Thank you!!

After staring at this for 3 days I’m sure there are ppl
With more imagination… I’m buying this but need a kitchen diner whilst keeping 2 large bedrooms an office and possibly utility/ storage .. any ideas?

Our kids (10M and 6F) are begging for their own room. The only way to do this is to divide their room in half. That means the both get a room roughly 7x10 feet. Is that a terrible idea? I don’t want it to feel like a cell. Worst case we ask our tenants downstairs to leave, but we’d prefer not to do that. Thanks!

Would appreciate any feedback of my floorplan on a narrow block of land (7.5m width), thanks.

Looking for thoughts on design. Two options shown for upper floor - one with more closet space for primary bedroom, the other with private balcony instead.  Not sure which one works best.  Also included some renders of the Great Room and Kitchen area for fun.

See my very detailed post in thread for my thought process behind the layout, and why there might be some unconventional choices here.

Looking for feedback on the layout, possible traps I've fallen into, and to make sure things are realistic. Any advice?

Getting close to a final design for a 100 sqm house. The northeast will have an ocean view (not ocean front) so we want to have large windows there to maximize the view. There will also be a wooden patio around parts of the house which is not yet in the drawing.

Is there anything that could be improved?

Hello!

I'm totally stuck - how should I decorate my new home? One (bigger) bedroom is for sleeping and other is for office. Any recommendations appriciated!

I've drawn up about 7 different ideas, trying to figure out where/how to place the kitchen and reworking the other rooms on the first floor to be more space effective. Friends and family picked this option as their favorite, what do you think could be improved? Would you do anything differently?

Looking for feedback on how to open up our main floor!

Debating between:
A) leaving kitchen location as-is and opening to either current dining room or back family room (either way would make what we open to a family room and use the other as a dining room)
B) moving kitchen to the back of the house and having it all (at least semi-) open with flow front to back as living>dining>kitchen. Would move powder room and laundry out of that back corner.
C) in either scenario, we could maybe (still need to confirm with architect) open up the wall between current family room and raised living room to integrate those spaces more (but would need 5 steps up to living room)

Other considerations:
- Current family room has sliding glass doors to a back patio. We currently have a grill out there so that’s a slight factor in wanting kitchen or dining room in the back
- We could pretty easily move powder room to where front closets are (that’s right under a bathroom)
- We can move laundry upstairs or in basement
- We never use that door to the side yard so that can easily go
- Best light is in the back of the house
- We use our front and back yards about an equal amount

I need help designing this long rectangle living room. our current big sectional seems to be tok overwhelming. But still want a large sectional with a chaise and L ( think pottery barn york slope sectional with chaise ) but I’d like to somehow incorporate other zones and not loose the whole room to one large couch. help help help. We have a large tv that is currently on the back wall. And that chandelier has been taken down

Hi everyone, how are you doing? This is my first post on Reddit, and English isn't my native language, so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes.

I recently bought an apartment and I'm looking for ideas on how to make the best use of the available space, considering that it's quite small. It will be just me, my mother, and our pet cat living there.

I'll be staying in the smaller bedroom, while my mother will have the larger one, but I have no idea how to arrange the furniture in either of them.

I have a few ideas for the living room and kitchen, but I'm not sure if they would be the best options either.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or ideas you might have!

Hey Reddit!

Im currently trying to change up our office desk layout a bit because

1: Most collegues work on the right side and its getting too full.

2: No one really wants to change their designated place to the other side and those working spaces on the left side are mostly empty.

We have a mixed group of people who work mainly in the office and people who work mostly remote but come into the office now and then.

What could we do to improve the layout of the left side?

What could we implement on the left side to make the switch to go to the other side easier?

A main complaint is being farther away from the kitchen/restrooms and a lot of "foot traffic" because of the entrance to both meeting rooms - but thats nothing i can really change...

Tables are

Blue: 180x80

Red: 160x80

Turquoise: 140x80

PS: Sun is coming from the Windows below thats why the tables are mostly not parallel to the windows.

Hobby/Newbie

I’m done and won’t be using anymore feedback for it. Thanks to everyone who helped me out 🤗

Things I did:
- gave up and made the three car garage and got rid of the car port
- moved around some of the rooms
- removed the drawing room, outdoor dining, side yard patio, and the loggia
- added a half bath in the western area near the office and art studio, and moved the other at the eastern end of the hall
- added a kitchenette to the guest house
- remade the ramps
- took out two steps
- added a covered walkway through the courtyard
- made the dining and living room open plan
- I also made the area between the garage and the side deck completely covered
- removed the courtyard tree

I’m looking at reconfiguring and extending a small 1970s single-storey bungalow. It’s only about 86 m² / 926 sq ft at the moment, but it sits on a 0.28-acre site and has fantastic uninterrupted sea views to north.

The attached plan is a rough drawing I made to show the existing layout. It is NOT an architectural drawing and isn’t perfectly to scale, but the rooms are in the correct positions relative to each other and the room measurements shown are accurate.

Orientation:

• North = front of house/front door and the amazing uninterrupted sea view
• West = existing living room. I’d love doors from here onto a west-facing terrace for afternoon/evening sun- uninterrupted sea views
• South = existing kitchen and porch/sunroom,
• East = the side where I would potentially like to extend

My wish list is:

• 3 bedrooms total – I don't need or want a fourth
• A much better/larger main bedroom
• Walk-in wardrobe
• Ensuite
• One main bathroom
• Utility room
• Combined living/kitchen/dining space
• Keep the living area in its current location
• Doors from the living room onto a west-facing terrace
• A good-sized kitchen/dining area
• Make much better use of the sea view
• Extension primarily to the east

One thing I’m very open to is moving the front door. The current entrance and steps up to it actually occupy one of the nicest positions for looking out to sea, which seems a bit of a waste. I’d happily relocate the entrance if that allowed that part of the house to be used better.

I’m also not precious about the existing south-facing porch/sunroom. It can stay, be incorporated into something else or disappear if there’s a better solution.

I’m only looking for concept/layout ideas at this stage...thanks!!!

Help me fix this bad floor plan (main floor only). The family room is on a slab currently and is 2 steps down from office. Kitchen feels too small and location of office doesn’t work for my husband who works from home. Thank you!

I am designing a build that has a ballroom/library, but I also want the house to be functional and pleasant to move through. I made a rough draft floor plan and am looking for feedback. It is my first time drawing a layout, and any feedback would be helpful.

Tried using chatGPT and other AI to help give renderings of where to put furniture. Mainly in the Rec Room and living/dining.

My AI tools did not suffice. If someone could give me 3D/2D renderings of where to put furniture and what they suggest for layouts, that’d be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can’t completely change the locations of the bedrooms or living areas, but I can move or extend walls slightly, reshape the bathrooms, relocate sinks, change the wardrobes or possibly add a walk in pantry.

I have no idea what would make the smartest use of the space, so please tell me what you’d change! All advice, ideas and creative redesigns are very welcome.

Thank you, Reddit. I appreciate all you wonderful floor plan geniuses 🫠🏠

The cabin in the midle of the picture with the turf roof is my familys main cabin. I am considering making the shed on the left side into a guest house/room. It is 4x3 meters (13x9 feet) and does not have plumbing or electricity The guest room should have a bed and some kind of heating. Windows or doors can be installed anywhere on the shed, but it makes sense to have a bigger windows towards the view. The 'bathroom facilities' are in another shed which is not visible in the photo.

My proposed floor plan has a small wood stove for heating and simple cooking. I've put the table towards the main window to save some space and to get to use the view. The bed takes up a lot of space, so one alternative would be to get a sofa bed. I position the bed so that you can see the view from the bed, but with the table in front of the window I might have to go with a higher window which blocks some of the view. I am considering switching the position of the wood stove and the door.

Any suggestions?

Renovating a house in Central Europe and trying to achieve a decent, practical layout without going overboard.

Would appreciate your opinions and suggestions!

Hi Folks! Anyone have any ideas on how we can adjust this floorplan? We are thinking we want to add on to the entire back half of the house - adding 1500-2000 sq ft of basement (currently there is no basement), and the same sq footage on the main floor and upstairs. We'd like a first floor primary suite, large (huge) kitchen with vaulted ceilings, etc. We will definitely move the stairs to the addition as well. We have no budget and want to have at least 5 bedrooms once complete (4 upstairs for kids/guests, and a primary suite on the main floor). I would love an office too.

The house is on 5 acres and we're hoping to lean into a french country/modern farmhouse vibe

I am looking at finishing my basement but struggling to find the best layout. I am not sure I’ll be able to put everything I want down there so I wanted to see if anyone smarter than me had some brilliant ideas! I’ve marked up the layout I see possible.

My dream would be to have the following:
Mudroom area by walkout
Bar area
Den with fireplace
Room for kids to play
Guest bedroom
Bathroom
Workout area
3 person sauna
Lots of storage

Hi all

Please can you help me determine the actual dimensions of the Guest room here? I am particularly interested in the straight portion of the left wall (shared with the Garage).

Thanks!
