How to Choose the Right Floorplan

Embarking on the journey of buying a new home with Montano Homes is a thrilling venture, but the decision-making process can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to selecting the right floor plan for you and your family. The choices you make in this regard will significantly impact your day-to-day routine. To guide you through this decision-making process, we have a few tips to help you out.

Maximize Space Efficiency

Efficient use of space is a cornerstone when selecting a floor plan for your new home. Begin by defining the size you have in mind for your home. A well-designed floor plan will empower you to maximize every square foot effectively.

Visualize how different areas of your home will seamlessly flow together. Can you easily move from the front door to the kitchen while carrying groceries? Are the bedrooms strategically located for privacy, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house? Assess the convenience of the dining area in relation to the kitchen.

Consider Flow and Connectivity

Contemplate how the rooms will connect, as the flow between spaces is crucial. Open-concept floor plans are favored in home design for their spacious feel. With no barriers between the kitchen, living room, and dining area, these layouts facilitate socialization. Reflect on how you envision using the primary living space—should the kitchen be the focal point, or perhaps the living room?

The arrangement of functional spaces, such as laundry rooms and mudrooms, is as important as that of the main living areas. If your family is large, ample storage in these areas becomes crucial.

Tailor to Your Lifestyle

Consider your specific needs and lifestyle. While you might come across floor plans you like, they may include rooms you don’t necessarily require, such as a formal dining room or an extra living room. Remember, you can repurpose these rooms to align with your lifestyle—transforming them into a home office, game room, art studio, playroom, or even a guest bedroom.

Choosing a floor plan involves evaluating numerous options. Keep your priorities in focus and don’t hesitate to ask our team as many questions as you wish. Take a look at our available floorplans here. Or better yet! Schedule a tour of our homes to view our floor plans in person.
