Creating a functional floor plan for a Californian bungalow is an interesting challenge: it’s all about using the indoor space wisely to maximise the efficiency of the space. At New Realm Homes, we approach floor plan design with creative solutions, developed in partnership with our expert designers. We understand the importance of designing a home that both meets your needs and is functional.
Creating the floor plan
When it comes to selecting the basic floor plan for your Californian bungalow, it’s important to consider your lifestyle and budget. Do you need a large entertaining area or multiple separate bedrooms? How often will you use your outdoor area? Are you planning to incorporate sustainable design elements? There are a variety of basic floor plans available, each designed to fulfil the needs of our customers.
We then take the time to understand your individual preferences and design a custom floor plan that best meets your requirements.
Adding style and functionality
Once you have decided on the final floor plan, the fun starts! Consider the colours and textures that best complement the existing space. For example, light colours can open up a room and bring in natural elements from the outdoors, while dark colours can make a room feel cosy and inviting. Think about how the furniture will be used and if it needs to be moved easily. You can also choose furniture that is functional and which fits in with your overall aesthetic.

Maximum effect through minimalism
Keeping the design simple will help keep the cost of construction down and will contribute to a calming atmosphere. When using minimalism in a room, accent pieces can be used to add a touch of personality and style. Careful consideration should be given to the placement of items in the room so that they do not overcrowd the space.
Designing a functional floor plan for your Californian bungalow might seem like a challenge, but with careful consideration and expert guidance, you can create a home that meets all of your needs and desires.
