5 Ways to Make a Small House Plan Feel Luxurious
Brought to you by ProVia
1) Pick an open floor plan
An open-concept kitchen, dining room, and family room area tends to make a home feel more
spacious than it actually is.
2) Consider vaulted or cathedral ceilings
If you want your home to feel open, airy, and grand, a vaulted ceiling might be your best
bet. Vaulted ceilings are often found above open-concept living areas and primary suites.

3) Prioritize outdoor living
Outdoor living areas, such as porches, patios, and decks, are a great way to expand living
space without augmenting square footage. For ultimate airiness, consider an open floor
plan with vaulted ceilings and a view of/access to a rear deck or porch. Separating an
open floor plan and an outdoor living area with a large sliding wall of windows can be an
especially dramatic and impressive choice.
4) Build unique curb appeal
A small house plan doesn’t have to be plain. Wood or stone accents can make a small modern
style home extra captivating. Likewise, a wrap-around porch can add warmth and beauty to
an otherwise simple country design. What’s more, don’t forget about the little things.

you need to make your exterior design pop.
5) Spend where it counts!
If you’re working with a tight budget (as most people are), you can’t have everything, so
consider what’s important to you. If you love to cook, spend a little extra in the kitchen
– add a cooktop kitchen island or a walk-in pantry. If entertaining is your thing, an
outdoor
kitchen, bar, or grill area might be fun to explore. If serenity at the end of a
long day is all you want, spend a little extra in the primary suite – deck it out with
decorative ceilings, a walk-in shower, a clawfoot tub, or a giant walk-in closet.
