How to Personalize a Stock House Plan: Tips from the Experts

Choosing a stock house plan from Big Hills Floor Plans is an efficient and cost-effective way to approach the building of your new home. However, many homebuyers wonder how they can inject personal touches into a pre-designed plan. Fortunately, our experts at Big Hills specialize in transforming house floor plans into unique, personalized homes. Here’s how you can customize a stock plan to meet your needs and reflect your style.

Understanding Stock House Plans

The Foundation of Your Dream Home

Stock house plans offer a starting point for most homebuilders. These plans are pre-designed to meet general needs and building codes, making them a popular choice. At Big Hills, our luxury home floor plans are crafted with flexibility in mind, allowing for various modifications to suit specific lifestyles and tastes.

Key Areas for Personalization

Structural Modifications

Adjusting Room Sizes and Layouts

One of the simplest ways to personalize your floor plan is by adjusting room sizes. Whether you need larger bedrooms, an expanded garage, or a more spacious kitchen, our team can alter dimensions to better fit your lifestyle needs.

Adding or Removing Rooms

Depending on your family’s needs, you might want to add additional rooms such as a home office, gym, or media room. Conversely, reducing the number of rooms can create more open space and larger communal areas.

Design Enhancements

Customizing Architectural Styles

While stock plans come with a predefined architectural style, adjustments can be made to transform the exterior and interior aesthetics. Whether you prefer a more modern façade or a classical interior, we can modify the original design to cater to your preferences.

Interior Finishes and Details

Interior finishes make a home feel unique. From the type of flooring to the moldings and cabinetry, selecting finishes that reflect your personal style is crucial. Our design team can guide you through the selection process, ensuring that every detail contributes to the overall character of your home.
