Floor plans help you envision how your home will live. When viewing a floor plan, you’ll be able to see what rooms are in the home and how those rooms are situated. When looking at a floor plan, decide what is most important to you and how you plan to use space in your home. For example, some homes offer what is called a spilt floor plan with the primary bedroom on the opposite side of the home from the other bedrooms. Or maybe you want to extend your living space with a large outdoor patio. Some floor plans contain flex space that you can use as you like so you’ll want to look for those spaces in addition to bedroom count if you want a den, office space or workout room.
