Small House Plans

The House Plan Company’s collection of small house plans features designs less than 2,000 square feet in a variety of layouts and architectural styles. Small house plans make an ideal starter home for young couples or downsized living for empty nesters, who both want the charm, character and livability of a larger home in a smaller space. They are also great for those who prefer to live the minimalist lifestyle.

Small home plans enable homeowners who want a smaller residence or who are restricted by their lot size to be creative with the design of their home. Most small home designs feature open floor plans where the kitchen flows into a living room and dining area. Kitchens often have a breakfast bar or nook for eating or entertaining.

Some smaller house designs may offer a mud room from the garage or backyard and utility rooms with a sink next to the washer and dryer. Another common feature of smaller homes is a deck or patio off of the dining room with sliding glass doors to extend living space outdoors.

One of the most notable features of small house floor plans is their open-concept layouts. By combining the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one cohesive space, small spaces feel larger and more inviting. This design also encourages social interaction, making it perfect for entertaining guests or spending quality time with family.

Another key feature is the use of multifunctional spaces. Small house plans often incorporate rooms that can serve multiple purposes. For example, a home office might double as a guest room with the addition of a fold-out bed, or a dining area could serve as a workspace during the day. These flexible designs ensure that homeowners can adapt their space to meet their changing needs. Often, optimized storage space is a key focal point as well.

Energy efficiency is another important feature of small house plans. With less square footage to heat, cool, and maintain, these homes often come with lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint. Many small house plans also incorporate sustainable building materials and energy-efficient appliances, further reducing their environmental impact.
