If you’re not sure how large of room you need, measure your existing furniture, tables and walking area to determine how much space you REALLY need in your next floor plan. How many times have you read the dimensions of a room on a floor plan and then realized your existing furniture doesn’t fit like you thought into the finished room? Measure your existing furniture before deciding on final sizes for a home. Don’t assume the sizes of rooms on a floor plan are adequate While it may not be a concern now, think of green cost savings on your architectural features of your floor plan for future living too. Details like expansive floor to ceiling windows, skylights and other architectural features could have an impact on heating and cooling your home when your energy bill arrives. There is nothing like getting excited about architectural features that look beautiful on a 2D floor plan and feel even nicer when standing inside of the finished home. Ensure architectural features won’t cost you more in the future Don’t make the mistake of assuming –just ask! 4. Don’t assume you are supposed to know what every door swing, window, stair, and multi-story space looks like on a floor plan. While for many design professionals it is second nature, for many homeowners the symbols and nomenclature can be difficult to understand. If you recently started looking or designing your next home, more than likely you will need to review architectural drawings or floor plan drawings. Don’t assume you are crazy for not understanding floor plan drawings This will help you make an informed decision when choosing a floor plan. One of the easiest mistakes is to get sold on the upgrades that a home stager and contractors have upsold the model on! Try and strip away the gorgeous finishes, the upgraded carpet, color coordinated wallpaper and drapery and focus on the layout and flow of the rooms. If you’re shopping around for homes one of the best ways to experience the floor plan of a home before you buy it is to walk through the developer’s model homes before hand. When touring a model home – take away the upgrades in your mind
