Floor Plan Fads You\u2019ll See More Often<\/h1>\n

Floor Plan Fads You\u2019ll See More Often<\/p><\/div>\n

Home floor plans can take much longer to evolve than design trends. Changes tend to occur over years, as some designers and architects look to push the envelope and take a gamble on what they believe will resonate with buyers. But a few trends are starting to emerge.<\/p>\n

BUILDER recently weighed in on some of the hottest fads that could impact more floor plans in 2018, including:<\/p>\n

1. Flexibility for multigenerational households. <\/strong>More homes are being built to accommodate multigenerational households, such as with a main-level bedroom suite or even an in-law unit to offer privacy to cohabiting relatives. Flexible layouts that can accommodate a variety of living arrangements are growing in demand, builders say. In 2014, 60.6 million Americans resided in multigenerational households, according to the Pew Research Center. Homeowners may not need the extra space quite yet, but they desire\u00a0to use it one day. The extra bedroom on the main floor may be outfitted as an office or study until it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

2. The modern farmhouse. <\/strong>White farmhouses are in high demand. These homes are characterized by large windows, simple roof lines, and bright white siding that may be paired with dark windows. \u201cThe modern farmhouse aesthetic seems to have struck a chord with the American home buyer because it relates back to a more bucolic era while also embracing all the needs of modern life,\u201d says Jonathan Hyman, architectural department manager at Donald A. Gardner Architects. \u201cThe simplicity and clean lines, along with a little nostalgia, help the modern farmhouse create a relaxing environment in our chaotic contemporary lives.\u201d Some designers are experimenting with adding more color to the farmhouse look, like in soft pastels of light green or soft tan colors.<\/p>\n

3. Greater storage options. <\/strong>Storage is getting more emphasis on floor plans. Mudrooms and laundry areas are showing up on more home layouts as separate spaces rather than combined areas. Homes with open layouts are finding more need for\u00a0storage to tuck away items. Mudrooms are popular as drop zones for backpacks, coats, and shoes. Also, the placement of this storage is getting more consideration in regards to homeowners\u2019 lifestyles. For example, some layouts from the Nelson Design Group in Jonesboro, Ark., feature master bedroom closets that open directly into the laundry room. Pets are also getting more thought. Design Basics, based in Omaha, Neb., includes \u201cpet centers\u201d in some of its floor plans, which feature dog-washing stations and other storage.<\/p>\n
