Closely related to Arts and Crafts designs and bungalow house plans, Craftsman house plans are often fashioned with Northwestern design elements and can be one or two stories. These floor plans are designed for a relaxed and informal lifestyle of entertaining and socializing. They appeal to a wide variety of homeowners because they offer sturdy construction, easy living floor plans and decorative exteriors.
Found throughout the country, arts and crafts floor plans can range in size from simple two bedroom, one bath layouts to four or more bedrooms and bathrooms. The simplistic bungalow designs are generally smaller than other Northwestern influenced home plans. What they lack in size, they make up for in livability making use of every square foot of living space. On the other hand, larger homes also take on the arts and crafts style. Wide porches with square or tapered columns atop stone pediments, low-pitched gable roofs, exposed beams, overhanging eaves and rafter tails are the most notable exterior characteristics of Craftsman home plans. Also, local natural materials dress up the exteriors of these
bungalow designs and Northwestern houses including a façade mainly of wood, cedar shakes, brick and stone. This adds to the appearance of handcrafted workmanship. Extensive use of wood throughout the home is common including built-in shelving and cabinets. Craftsman house designs share common elements with
