How to Choose the Right Floor Plan for Your Family

Pick the Perfect Plan for Your Family

Building a new home in Evansville? One of the first (and most important) choices you’ll make is picking the perfect floor plan. It sets the tone for how your family lives, grows, and makes memories in your new space. No pressure, right? 😅

Don’t worry — at Chapman Homes, we help Evansville-area families find the right fit every day. We offer over 15 various floor plans to choose from, and many can be customized to your exact needs. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing the right layout for your lifestyle:

1. Think About Your Daily Flow

Start by asking: How does your family live? Do you need a big open kitchen for hosting Sunday dinners? Is a mudroom a must for dropping off backpacks and muddy boots? Picture your daily routine — and build around it.

2. Consider Bedroom Placement

Want all the bedrooms close together for younger kids? Or do you need a little space between the primary suite and the chaos of the rest of the house? Maybe an upstairs bonus room with an additional bedroom and bathroom? The layout of bedrooms and bathrooms can make a big difference in your day-to-day comfort.

3. Plan for the Future

If your family is growing — or you work from home now and might not later — think ahead. Flex rooms and bonus spaces give you room to adapt without needing to move in a few years.

4. Don’t Forget Outdoor Living

In a place like Evansville, having a patio, porch, or covered outdoor space is a big win. Look for floor plans that let you easily access and enjoy the outdoors from your main living spaces.

5. Tour the Layout 

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a layout just by looking at a blueprint. That’s why we offer walk-throughs and local model home visits to help you see how the space flows in real life.
