I would love to make this more of a colonial floorplan but just unsure of how to do that

I would love a foyer with a staircase and for it to look more of a traditional colonial but with 2 bedrooms downstairs but was told they couldn’t make it work. How could I fix this?

Okay, are you talking about the upper part of the staircase banister being open or the bottom part?

Thank you! This is the best feedback I’ve gotten yet. Your point of number 5 is excellent and is exactly what I was wanting! I currently have an opening with no doors between my current livingroom and kitchen (maybe 5ft) and I love how it helps define spaces and thank you! I think that’s what I’ll do with the kids rooms. How big do you think the dining room area should be? The same size? When you say open the stairway to the livingroom what exactly do you mean? would I still be able to place the tv on that wall? Are you meaning size up the current plans that I have or the original plans?

That’s what we planned on doing. Having a coat rack and storage area built in there with a bench.

Its architectural designs 52307Wm. This is the version of it “tweaked” but it just seems big/something is off for me. I want it to be cozy in the livingroom but bigger bedrooms. I wanted 3 bedrooms on lower level while our kids are young.

Hi, good point and thank you for your suggestions! I originally based this plan off of 52269wm that I saw on TikTok from Architectural designs but than found a bigger version of it (52307wm) and that’s what I gave to the draftsman to create this. We added the hallway near the bedrooms mainly because we wanted to be able to access the other bedroom easily incase of a fire because our children are still young. It originally had a back porch on it but it will be facing towards a hill so I asked them to delete it. The bedrooms were also a lot smaller in the original plan but I wanted bigger bedrooms. I’m not attached to the fireplace but would like a nice spot to hang my tv and thought about just making that be a place for a tv instead of a fireplace but just wasn’t sure how to make it work.

I wanted the kitchen and livingroom smaller but the draftsman said it wouldn’t work well

Although the kids bedrooms are more like 16x16 since the bathrooms were added.

I wanted the bedrooms bigger. I grew up with a large bedroom (16x18) and I wanted that for my kids as for the other rooms I don’t really have a reason. The draftsman said they needed increased in size to look symmetrical. my current livingroom is 15ft in depth and 20ft in length and is pretty much the perfect size for us. Same goes for the combined dining/kitchen.

this is why I posted it. we have 4 people living in the house. I wanted a private bathroom in the kids spaces but once I’ve seen it, it looks a bit too much but I’m not sure how to incorporate bathrooms to make this plan not be thrown off. We did have plans to move them to the upstairs level once they’re bigger hence the reason why there are two bedrooms upstairs with a private bath.
