That is true. I would love to see where the ceilings are high - dormers - stairs - light coming into dining/family...

It's not always about the furniture. Sometimes it's hard to visualize the floorplan.

A good floorpan should not be difficult to visualize. All this "variety" of ceiling height is ridiculous. One can see if light comes into the LR by seeing how many windows there are and their size, and other there are large porches outside. The way the house is sited will also affect light. East or north facing with a wide porch will be the black hole of Calcutta.

Great plan if you don't cook much. If you straightened out the kink in the plan you wouldn't have to look at your car in the driveway from the dining table.

With the two covered porches on the exterior of the great room and kitchen, the interiors will be dark all day. Not a good design...

"A good floorpan should not be difficult to visualize. All this "variety" of ceiling height is ridiculous."

When Hubs and I were looking at floorplans many years ago, we saw one that we both really liked. Walked through the model (this was a tract home) and were totally dismayed. The 3 bedrooms were on the left side of the house (as you viewed the plan). From front to back on that side there was a secondary bedroom, a bathroom, another secondary bedroom, then the master suite. There was, of course, a hallway "in front of" the bedrooms. There was, on the floorplan, a wall that separated that hallway from the living area. So far, so good. Well, the way that floorplan was being built did not include a full-height, solid wall between the hallway and living area. Back by the master suite, the wall was full height, but as it went toward the front of the house, it got lower and lower, until it reached its lowest height of about 4 feet. And, the entire wall had "cut outs" in which the dwellers could place books, vases, and various other "objects d'art." It was truly horrible. No privacy for anyone walking down that hallway if there were folks in the living area. And, yes, that's what was done in all of the houses built to that floorplan. It was in no way indicated on the floorplan that there wasn't a "real wall" separating the spaces. Vaulted ceilings are indicated on floorplans. Weird walls are not.

And for that reason, it's nice to see interior photos if you can't go through an actual, already built home/model.
