3D House Floor Plan Ideas

Your house plan is truly a reflection of who you are. It is a place where you can relax, enjoy, eat, sleep, but most of all a place where you can be in your elements. I remember the last time I decided to refurbish my home, I thought the first thing that I needed was a professional designer and so I hired one. I got too caught up with the ideas that the designers had been showcasing and advocating. However, the day I saw the entire plan on the blueprint, I realized that although the design looked great, it did not appeal to me as my own home. That was the moment I decided to do away with the designers, and take charge of the designing process myself. Designing your own house can be quite a task, but totally worth it since it enables you to give the place a personal touch. Designing a house can include both the primary architectural elements as well as the interior designing elements that follow. In this article we will cover both the aspect that will assist you while designing your own house.

Architectural Design

Architectural elements are vital if you are planning a house plan from scratch. The first thing that you need to do is undertake a detailed study of the space available to you, requirement of rooms, the possibility of multiple stories, the roofing, as well as the locations of window and doors. In case you find this intimidating, and are still willing to work without a professional architect, there are a number of software applications that can help you with this task. A simulation of your plot area and the possible positions and areas of multiple rooms can be tried out using these designing software. You can easily drag the walls on the virtual interface until you finalize the layout and come up with your own final blueprint of the house plan.

Once the house plan is ready, you can hire services of a good residential building company to materialize your blueprint into an actual finished structure. While handing over the reins to them, make sure you explain them the plan carefully and ask for suggestions. Once the plan is finalized and the builders are at work, have a word with them on a daily basis so that the final product comes out just the way you wanted. However it is advisable not to interrupt their work very frequently and trust them with their job.

Tips to Remember:

Although you have decided to plan your house on your own, you cannot be aware of all the architectural design principles (unless you are an architect yourself). Hence, once you have finalized your plan, get it checked from a professional and try to incorporate the suggestions.

Involve all the members of the house while the plan is being made and consider individual requirements for their rooms. The final plan should be convenient for every member of your house.

Study the natural lighting directions to ensure optimum natural light in the living room or the study room according to your preference. After studying the light pattern it would also be convenient for you to finalize the placement positions of doors and windows.

Choose accurate placement of walls. Avoid a cluttered plan, study your space, and don't try to include too many rooms within little space.

With a little more research, try to incorporate unconventional patterns and styles into your house plan.

The Colors

Interior designing for your own house plan is like giving you a palette of colors and a blank canvas. All you need to do is work with your magic brush, adding a stroke here and there until you are satisfied with the end result.

First of all, use a good quality water-resistant and long-lasting paint. Yes, choosing the colors for your house can seem like an easy job, but it is advisable to put more thought into the process.
