We’re swooning over these sweet house layouts. Look for relaxed floor plans, practical spaces, must-see exteriors, and more. From spacious modern farmhouse plans to tiny cabin designs, we’ve gathered the ultimate list of house layouts in a variety of styles and sizes below.
Trying to decide what house layout is best for you? Boasting minimal walls, an open floor plan maximizes space by creating a seamless flow between the main living areas. If you’re looking for more privacy, a traditional floor plan features more defined spaces with walls separating the common areas.
