Building your own home is always a pleasurable experience wherein you work closely with interior decoration architects who help to convert your dreams to practicality. Today there are a number of options with regards to home floor designs. They can be contemporary, modern or traditional in their looks. But while the contemporary designs favour more open spaces and traditional ones prefer to give your house a warm lived in look, it is the modern home floor plans which offer the greatest flexibility. This is because these modern floor designs seek to:
• Innovatively collate practicality with unique architectural ideas,
• Provide for ample space by maximising space utilisation optimally,
• Build interiors which can be easily transformed to look both lived in and formal,
• Place objects strategically so that they are able to reflect ample amount of light etc.
Aspects to remember
Any floor plan, be it modern, traditional or contemporary, depends on three very important aspects. These aspects form the core of any home design. They are:
• Budget: The amount that you are most likely ...
... to spend has to be determined at the very beginning even before the planning stage. The budget or maximum spending limit decided should be around 25% less than what you can spend. This is done to take into account any cost fluctuation and inflation that you might encounter in the course of transforming your design into reality. But care must be taken to ensure that:
o This budget is strictly adhered to and
o Changes, if any, should be kept at a minimum.
• Planning: This includes the floor plan of the house and will help you to demarcate the total available area into rooms. Planning also lays the foundation of the final layout of your house and hence should be done after consulting experts in this field since plans:
o Require mathematical precision,
o Need practical implementation and
o Have to make optimal use of space.
• Designing: The final and crucial aspect of any home floor design is the implementation of its interior designs. This is also the stage wherein you choose the theme and decor of the house which will ultimately be translated into reality. Since once implemented, it takes a lot of time and money to make alterations and changes, it is best to ensure that the theme selected is one which:
o Relaxes you and makes you feel at peace,
o Makes you long for the comfort of your home after a long hard day,
o Is able to give you back your sense of balance and harmony and
o Looks inviting and welcoming enough to make friends and other guests feel at ease.
Home flooring designs have come a long way from the traditional to the modern. Making use of technology, today architects design modern floor plan designs which tend to favour themes having a touch of intrigue, a touch of hi-tech gadgetry, a touch of glamour, a touch of elegance and a touch of homely flavour all fused into a simple design.
