When you begin the seemingly daunting task of picking the right house plan for you and your family, there are a few things one should consider. Take the time to determine how your family "lives" currently. Does your family spend a lot of time together at home? Are you preparing a lot of meals at home? Are you always entertaining your friends and family? How about your children’s friends? These are but a few things that can help you decide what would best suit your needs. An open Family/Kitchen allows your family and friends to socialize while work is being done in the Kitchen. A Bonus room can lend itself as a gathering place for your children and their friends to hang out. A large kitchen with ample cabinet and counter space is a must for the family that prepares a lot of meals and who eat at home regularly.  An Office or Study is a must for the person who works at home. When you are searching through our house plan database, picture how you or your family will “fit” in it! Don’t forget that if you find a house plan at www.houseplancentral.com that works well for you but needs some adjustment, we provide modifications are most of our plans.
