A Guide to Cabin Floor Plans

Floor Plans Cabin

Cabins are small rustic dwellings designed to capture beautiful views while offering comfortable and simple living conditions. Cabin floor plans often incorporate natural materials with modern amenities to accommodate your family's lifestyle needs.

Sets of cabin house plans typically contain detailed floor plans, construction details and framing plans (showing wood joists, beams and roof trusses) along with other relevant information. Depending on the plan you may also receive materials lists and door/window schedules.

Great Room

The great room is an iconic feature of cabin floor plans. This expansive open space combines living, dining and kitchen functions and often comes equipped with its own fireplace. Additionally, many cabins include high ceilings and ample windows in order to keep this room feeling light and airy.

A great room can serve many functions for a family. Movie nights with children could include comfortable couches for movie watching while still offering ample room for games, homework and craft projects. Meanwhile, entertaining guests on regular basis may require more formal seating options and even an elegant dining table to host guests during special occasions.

As a general guideline, it is best to ensure the great room fits seamlessly into the overall design of the home. Corridors should be avoided as they disrupt traffic flow throughout a home". Rather, installing central stair or switchback stairs near an entry will enable people to easily move between levels.

To give the great room subtle definitions, it is advisable to avoid pushing furniture against walls. By floating furniture such as your sofa away from walls and creating space between it and its walls for conversation and visual interest, for example. Incorporating decorative accents such as 2LG Studio's patterned ceiling beams as part of this great room design can further help break up its areas according to function.

Dining Area

A dining area plays an essential part of any cabin house plan. This space should ideally be situated by a window to take advantage of picturesque views while connecting with both the kitchen and living room on either end of this area. To keep this space comfortable and ensure good traffic flow, ideally 48-60 inches (122 to 152 cm) should be left between any table and walls or furniture for adequate traffic flow.

This cabin design's expansive deck and large windows create a cozy and autumn-ready environment, complete with an inviting fireplace to heat its vaulted great room and an open layout between main living areas that exudes relaxation.

Its rustic curb appeal makes this cabin home plan easy to picture it by the lake or mountain setting, with board-and-batten construction and post-and-rail detailing providing it with a primitive charm that blends in beautifully. A cozy great room and spacious kitchen set the scene for family gatherings while an upstairs sleeping loft adds versatile space for guests.

Kitchen

Kitchens are at the core of cabin homes for many residents. Food prep and gatherings often center here, making an L-shaped layout an excellent choice in this space. An L-shape helps cooks avoid hot spots while guests congregate around an island for quick chats or nibbles. As a result, cabin floor plans typically allow space for dining areas nearby--sometimes in even within the same room!

Before selecting a cabin floor plan, it is important to determine how much living and storage space is necessary. Will you use the home year-round or only occasionally? Your answer can determine the design; for instance if you prefer an open concept kitchen and large family areas then larger cabin plans with additional bedrooms might be required.

Rustic charm and ample outdoor living spaces make this cabin house plan ideal for fall (and all other seasons, too!). The great room provides picturesque views while its open layout creates an informal vibe between main rooms. A generous laundry room and sleeping loft add functionality.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms found in cabin floor plans tend to feature rustic decor with outdoor living spaces like porches taking precedence. As such, these rooms often contain just enough space for sleeping comfortably and taking in nature's sights and sounds.

When designing your bedroom, there are a few key considerations you must keep in mind. First is having a reliable source of heat; usually a heater, but in certain instances even a fireplace (known as natural gas heating or wood-burning fireplaces can suffice). Second is making sure there are at least two ways of exit (known as 'egress' in real estate terms); typically this would include doors and windows so if a fire breaks out you have quick escape options available to you quickly and safely.

Bedroom windows must cover an area of at least 5.7 square feet total opening area and not extend more than 44 inches from the floor, according to minimum requirements in all states. As some states may impose more stringent standards when it comes to bedrooms in residential homes, it's wise to consult your local laws prior to commencing construction of any new house.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms often play an essential part in selecting the appropriate cabin plans for you. Their number, amenities and size will all depend upon how and where the cabin will be used (and of course on what kind of budget is available to you). Our collection offers rustic cabin designs focused on simplicity as well as luxury cabin floor plans featuring extravagance such as private bathrooms or spa-like features that may appeal to you.

Plus, its open ceiling gives this rustic cabin its signature scale!

Outdoor Space

Cabin floor plans feature outdoor spaces that complement their surroundings, taking into account scenic views while providing living areas such as decks, patios, and porches. Cabins can serve multiple functions: weekend retreats, year-round homes and vacation houses alike - so depending on what a home's owners prioritize in terms of entertainment space (if primarily used as an overnight guest accommodation and outdoor activity space); storage/functionality needs or relaxation versus privacy will often dictate which design elements come first in a cabin house plan design.
