@alexander_dahlgren_jawad: #A client sent me this stock floor plan before purchasing it, and it is a perfect example of what happens when a house is designed from the outside in. The plan has impressive features — double doors, beams, a barrel ceiling, a hidden pantry, an outdoor kitchen, and a hidden gun closet — but the rooms still struggle with furniture layout, circulation, window placement, closet design, primary bathroom storage, shower layout, and daily function. If you are building a new home, buying stock house plans, remodeling, or working with an architect or builder, review the plan before it is too late to fix the problems on paper. #spaceplanning #interiordesign #floorplan #houseplan #newhouse

they need to bring back pocket doors! So much better than a barn door.

I think people say they want symmetry but what they mean is balance.

personal opinion: symmetrical houses look kinda boring. Asymmetry creates character.

Who wants a first floor bedroom with windows facing the street? Nope.

I think every architect should have to serve at least one year as a building cleaner to get a degree. How am I supposed to reach that window to wash it?

There’s no way that floor plan was made by an architect. This was the result of a builder drawing a floor plan. It’s truly awful.

ugh... the "McMansion"s are so awful. I did an architecture unit with my gr 4/5 art class, we went over horrible floor plans

did you see what won the 2025 home of the year UK it was a deconstructed house with each of the functions in a separate building, in a country where it rains about 50% of the year, not one judge called out the madness of it all just applauded the bravery of it. I think it sends the wrong message to separate design and practicality. Good design is practical.

I lived in an older home and now I live in a newer build, open concept. At first it seemed amazing but slowly I realized that the openness meant that what would have been hallways is now part of the room. This makes the flow difficult unless you do a very basic layout. Frustrating.

im so confused by street facing bedrooms and then a mudroom no directly attached to the back patio and the garage. also I would prefer to have a mud room connected to a room that has a shower and near the laundry room so all the dirty clothes be put in the laundry without getting all over my house

I genuinely do not understand this architectural hatred of front closets. Why do these homes act like coats and boots don’t exist.

If I had to pick one person that I follow on social media, but don’t know in real life to invite to my dinner party. I would pick you. I love how practical you see designs, and the way you phrase things.

My professors in interior design school hated the fact I loved designing small sensible homes. I was the only one in my class who liked ADA universal design class. I am also one of two people in my class that work in the field for a period of time.

I honestly don’t think architects are designing these “online plan package” houses. They are all so incredibly nonsensical

I don't want guests walking by bedrooms as they enter the house. That makes my skin crawl. And I like symmetry but it needs to flow instead of feeling stiff and forced.

The exterior image looks like it was made by AI. Not actually saying it was, but just that if you told AI to "make me a symmetrical mansion with a country feel" and the best part is that the peak for the 3 car garage sticks up high and ruins the right side symmetry, just like AI would do.

That’s just one room! I wish I could hear about the rest of the house ! I could only imagine how the rest of the house doesn’t really stack up !

I LOVE this. As someone who (for some unknown reason) loves looking at house plans, these are the things I look at and wonder why they were drawn this way. To see a professional, someone who understands design and functionality, points these flaws out and explain why is captivating to me.

Sorry I have a complaint, barn doors don’t ‘mostly’ belong in barns, they ONLY belong in barns lmao. No idea why that trend got so popular
