Explore the best modern 1,200 sq. ft. house plans. In the collection below you'll find small, contemporary, open-concept, 2-3 bedroom, 1-2 story & more floor plan designs. Which modern-style layout is right for you?
We consider 1,200 sq. ft. to be small, but not tiny. Our definition of tiny is less than 1,000 sq. ft. of heated living space. Having said that, if you're accustomed to living in a 5,000 sq. ft. mansion, 1,200 sq. ft. might feel tiny.
There are lots of tricks to make a smaller home feel larger than it actually is. Look for designs with open floor plans complemented by vaulted ceilings for ultimate airiness. Large windows overlooking outdoor living areas can also make a room feel extra spacious. Moreover, consider storage, as storage cuts down on clutter (and clutter can make a space feel smaller than it actually is). Several designs below offer mudrooms with built-in lockers, walk-in pantries, walk-in closets, and extra storage space in the garage.
If you dig clean lines, minimal ornamentation, flat or shed-style roofs, a monochromatic color scheme, big windows, and lavish outdoor living areas, a modern-style house plan will likely be your best bet. On the other hand, if you prefer something else, you can explore more house styles here.
