Hi there! Today for Floor Plan Friday I have this spacious modern style home with 5 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large ensuite and W.I.R and it’s situated in the middle of the home. On the back is a huge combined dining and family. The kitchen has a biiiig walk in pantry- love that! A separate rumpus room is near the other bedrooms.

What do you think about this one??

Here is where I found the home, or you might like to see all of my other favourite plans here too.

I’ve always admired homes with a loft! Since I was a little girl I’ve dreamt of owning a home with a cute little upstairs area. When I saw this plan pop up, I knew I had to make it part of my Floor Plan Friday posts.

“With 32c ceilings throughout, the home is surely in a class of it’s own! From the impressive entry foyer that leads to the cinema-style home theatre, to the majestic master suite with his-and-hers robes and the hotel-style ensuite with its decadent corner spa bath…”

This plan is pretty good all round I think. It’s got good balance, good storage and would suit my family. What do you think about this one? What would you use the loft for? A study, or kids area, or a sitting room? Or even another bedroom?

Here‘s where I found the plan and you can see all of my other favourite plans in my Floor Plan category too.

Have a great Friday ♥ KC.

Hi there! So here is a really really good plan this week. The bedrooms are big, the master is perfect. It features an office plus a home theatre (relax room). The back part of the house is stunning with the integrated entertaining space. Lots of glass lets in the natural light with huge bifold sliding doors on to the alfresco. The kitchen, scullery and laundry is very cool! The added outdoor BBQ area would be a yes from me.

Utilising open space and vast expanses of glass the living areas are seemingly never ending.

What do you think about this plan today?

Hi there! Today for Floor Plan Friday I have this 4 bedroom family home which is lovely open plan, but the laundry is featured in a different position… Last week, everyone seemed divided on the laundry position over on my Facebook chat group! This plan above has the laundry in a completely different spot than we would normally see it (mostly it’s near the bedrooms/bathroom or off the kitchen).

What do you think about this plan? What about that tv corner and breakout room??

I found it here originally, or check out all of my other plans over here.

Happy Friday! ♥ KC.

The post Floor Plan Friday: Laundry position? appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

I know it’s Saturday but I didn’t get a chance with this one yesterday! Today I wanted to share this 4 bedroom home with a rumpus off the kids’ bedrooms. I looked at this plan for a while and thought it was quite good if you like the kids away from the master. Plus the master is on the back of the house. I actually really like the kids area, but the bathroom would need some work for me. It looks too small, and the toilet would need to be incorporated in to the general layout. I’d also need some more storage all round.

Do you like the kitchen and laundry layout? And what about the study nook off the kitchen and master?

There is a facade photo below, but you wouldn’t have to have your home like this. The above plan would look good in a contemporary style too with a bit of tweaking on the back courtyard/alfresco.

I found the plan here if you want to see more ideas. Or check out all of my other favourite plans over here. ♥ KC.

Hi there! It took me ages to find a floor plan this week. I was trying to find something that didn’t have the same old frontage. Here is a plan with a garage on the side of the home (therefore you’d need a bigger block to do this). The front of the home would look great without the garage in view because you can fill the width with a beautiful verandah.

This plan is really good all round I think. I like the ensuite with the separate toilet. All of the bedrooms are good sizes.

The kitchen, dining, family and lounge area would be fabulous (wine storage!). I’m not sure I’d need so many living areas, but I wouldn’t say no! You could possibly use the Home Theatre as a Study if you configured the space a bit better.

What do you think about this one today? I found it here. Or check out my HUGE category of floor plans over here too.

Happy Friday! ♥ KC.

The post Floor Plan Friday: 4 bedroom with side garage & activity appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hello! It’s the weekly edition of Floor Plan Friday and today I have this large family home to show you. I am loving the master ‘wing’. Yes, extravagant, but just perfect! I could shove my boys down the back of the house and never leave the master bedroom and my own verandah. Drool….

I also like the kitchen servery. See my post earlier today about bi-fold kitchen windows? How perfect was the timing! I know not everyone will like that laundry idea though.

I don’t like the ensuite toilet as a powder room though.

I’d say yes yes yes to the back half of the house. Teenagers and smelly boys down there please with their own activity (think pool room, tv room) area with access on to the alfresco.

What do you think about this one? I found it here. See more floor plans here too.

The post Floor Plan Friday: The Master Wing appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Howdy! Today for my Floor Plan Friday blog post I am sharing this large home with corner garage. I’ve shared the facade so you can see how the plan will look and the entry points.

I like the porch around to the Alfresco. I love the WIR and ensuite, but Bedroom 1 seems small for that size. I guess it’s not too bad because it has a walk area?? And there is a private courtyard so that would be cool!

I’m not sure about the garage in to the office? I wouldn’t need the formal dining, but my family would use that space as a large rumpus (and I’d use the other rumpus as more of a formal lounge). I like the outside access from the living areas/rumpus.

I’d chop off the guest bed.

I love the kitchen and butler’s pantry. That’s a definite winner for me.

What do you think of this one? What would you change?

The post Floor Plan Friday: Corner Garage appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

G’day G’day! How are you? Today I went searching for a floor plan with a built-in fireplace (seeing as it’s getting cold around here!). I found this 4 bedroom family home with a few other cool features.

I like the overall layout of the home with the kitchen/dining opening on to the alfresco. That would look fantastic. The living/dining area with raked ceilings, the fireplace and book shelf would be cozy and quite grand with such an open space. The entry is a bit different though and opens oddly in to the living. What do you think about that?

I like the layout of the laundry/garage and appliance cupboard space. It’s a bit like a pantry area, but it’s not over the top.

Anyway, what do you think about this one? I found it here. PLUS I have a pile of other plans you might like to look at over here.

♥ KC.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I have this 4 bedroom home which would probably suit a corner block to show you…

I like the position of the bedrooms and the studio off to the side. You could probably make this a rumpus or another living if you needed more space. The house isn’t very big so even the office could be swapped for the studio and a bigger living area could be put in there.

I like the kitchen on the back and the big corner outdoor living space.

What do you think about the laundry position?

I’d love to know what YOU think about this one?

I found the plan here, or check out all of my other Friday Floor Plans.

The post Floor Plan Friday: 4 bedroom home suited for corner block appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hi there! I know this plan is a little over the top today but in my search for a floor plan I feel like I’ve seen just about every plan known to man on the internet. I wanted something different today and while I know this house needs a hefty budget we can all dream can’t we?? I would be in heaven if this was my house! You need to click over to the builder here and see all of the finished photos because just looking at the plan here doesn’t even explain how awesome this house is.

You’d need a big block of land, but this would suit my family down to a tee. The games room on the back was a big YES. Plus all their bedrooms would be right away from me in their own wing.

Ok, I’m off to buy every lotto ticket available this week!

I have a stack more floor plans here too if you want to trawl over those. Speaking of which, have you seen any decent floor plans?? I have been putting together Floor Plan Friday for a few years now and each week it takes me longer and longer to find plans to show you because everything is same-same!! Help me out if you can

The post Floor Plan Friday: 5 bedroom, luxury with wings appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

A lovely reader sent me this floor plan last week after I mentioned it’s getting harder and harder to find different plans. I feel like I’ve seen them all. I am so glad this one came through so I can share it with you all. It’s a beauty…

The plan came from here.

The Bond design is one of our most intriguing to date. With the use of angles and pod like spaces, we’ve been able to design this home to make it feel bigger than its actual footprint.

The Bond showcases private and practical space for the entire family. The positioning of the 4 bedrooms including the large Master Suite with generous Walk In Robe and ensuite at the rear of the home allows for a private oasis. The other three bedrooms are situated on a separate wing with an activity room for the family to enjoy.

The whole family will love the open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces. The home features a gourmet kitchen area with butlers pantry. Aligning the open plan living areas is an outdoor deck for family and friends to enjoy.

I think this is a great plan. Some of you may balk at the angles, but you will only notice those in the activity room. But the real feature of the angles will be outside with the steppers/garden beds all around. It will make you feel like you’re in a private resort.

I’d need more storage as it’s not a big home, but would look at adding that in to the garage area. The daybed is a yes from me!

Check out all of my other plans too, and send me an email if you see a plan I might like to feature here.

This week I am also working on some plans a reader sent me – they are amazing! I am just helping her sort out a few things.

If you have a floor plan you’d like me to look over before you build, please email me or buy my services then email them to me.

Happy Friday! ♥ KC.

The post Floor Plan Friday: Private & Practical Using Pods appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Here’s a big 4 bedroom contemporary floor plan. I think it would serve a lot of purposes – a family with teens, Grandma living with you, or a great space for frequent guests…

So, as you can see the guest room has its own bathroom and WIR. Bedroom 2 and 3 share a bathroom (which is not accessible for the rest of the house), but a WC is in place for visitors to use.

It’s a bit different with the kitchen and hallway behind, but I love the lounge room. That could possibly be sunken?? The dining on the front… not sure, what do you think?

The outdoor space is stunning and you wouldn’t say no to all of that entertaining area. Overall this is a very big house.

If you didn’t want that huge guest room, you could chop that room up and add a Study in its place. OR, replace the Dining with a Study, and the Rumpus becomes the Dining, with the Guest room being a Rumpus area + a 4th standard bedroom… Did that make sense? Ha!

What do you think?

I found the plan here, and check out all of my other favourite plans too.

The post Floor Plan Friday: Multipurpose living appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hello there! Today I have this 3 bedroom u-shaped home to show you. Maybe you’re thinking of downsizing, or simply don’t need a huge home with all the bells and whistles, but still need it to look amazing?

This plan has a raised ceiling and good flow. The home is best built facing north to optimize the solar aspect and creates a warm spacious feel. The website has some interior shots of you want to check it out. It’s stunning!

Hi there! Today I have this fabulous floor plan to share with you. I found it here. I love the separated spaces, with bedrooms on one side and the living on the other with the outdoor space in the middle. I could totally do this house. No wasted space, huge open areas and plenty of light and windows.

The house clearly won’t fit on a small residential block, and the garage would be a separate detached building. The sky’s the limit with that one (add storage or a rumpus room to the garage).

If you have a big house block, then this home would work for you! Face the back area North and the sun would lovely through the kitchen in the morning.

I will spend 2 hours looking over your plan and email back a detailed list of suggestions for changes (includes colour ideas). I can’t guarantee changes will be needed as your plan may already be perfect in my eyes. But for peace of mind I can either list some suggestions or let you know how jealous I am of your soon-to-be new home.

The post Floor Plan Friday: Separated zones with living on one side and bedrooms on the other appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hi there! In my bank of floor plans saved I thought I’d share this one today. I found it here. This home is suited to rural living and has the perfect layout to enjoy any surrounding views. The kitchen on the front is cool. You need to see the facade to work out how it will look. The home is separated into zones with bedrooms on each end and the living through the middle. I like it. It’s not a huge home, but it’s well thought out. The master wing is big with its own deck. Yes please! If I could squeeze a rumpus on the end of the kids’ rooms that would be perfect. It also needs a bit more storage.

Hey there! Yep, this is a BIG plan. But every time I post a 5 bedroom plan people pin and save it like crazy so they are popular! I found it here. It’s grand and very spacious. I couldn’t use the 4 living spaces, so maybe the Living could be more Dining and I’d leave the Dining open space (then from the main entry you don’t walk straight into a table). What are your thought there? OR, the Lounge could be Alfresco and then tuck a pool right up outside the current Dining?

The post Floor Plan Friday: 5 bedroom, rumpus, scullery plus study appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hi there! Today I have this plan which has been designed to maximise the northerly aspect of the sun. I found it here. I like that the main living spaces are situated to the rear of the home with the kitchen offering abundant space.

This home also embraces outdoor living aspects with a gallery and hallway allowing for natural light to enter the home. The outdoor areas offers a terrace, alfresco and large courtyard making it a unique feature of the home.

I like that it’s not a huge home, but has everything you’d need. The only downfall is the walk from the garage to the pantry with the food! But I really like the general layout.

The post Floor Plan Friday: Optimal Northerly Aspect appeared first on Katrina Chambers | Lifestyle Blogger | Interior Design Blogger Australia.

Hi there! Today I have this large family home with scullery, activity, study and home theatre… It’s a pretty standard layout and would fit a regular residential house block. The kids’ bedrooms are clustered together on one side away from the master. If you don’t like the master on the front or the back, then this one is good as it’s tucked behind the garage. It has a huge open plan through the middle and I’d love to see raked ceilings through there. I am in love with the scullery and laundry. What’s a larder though? Like a mud-room shelving??

The home theatre is great on the back because you can close that off. It’s also got a perfect outdoor kitchen area.

I found the plan in a chat forum over here. I wonder if the person ended up building it, or made changes? What changes would you make?
