Here's what I've found after living in and visiting many tract homes- LR-13x18 FR-12x16 (and that they not be in the middle of the traffic flow pattern aka many tract homes post ww2 till about the late 50's) Kitchen (no eating area) 9x11 DR/Nook or other eating area 10x10 Entry-at least 3'6" wide 4' better Bedrooms (good design would at least provide 2 good bed walls aka no doors or windows in it) MBR-12x13 w/ at least 10 linear feet of closets All other bedrooms-10x10 with at least 5 linear ft of closets all closets 2' deep, Baths-5x8 but 5x9 better if fixtures lined up on one wall and tub/shower at end 7x8 and 8x8 with the tub/shower fully accessible if it's 5 ft long 6x8 if it's a 3' shower (fixtures lined up on 2 opposite walls). If you look and many floor plans the best ones will have all of this. Note that square footage does not have to be a lot-ciculation/flow between rooms helps this.

Let Cutting Edge Closets design a closet system for your space!

Hi all, we’re closing on a house Oct 1. and would like to give the master bedroom a little love before moving in... attached are photos of the room (all furniture will be removed). The room is very spacious (measures 13x19 ft), but funky. The windows look to be randomly placed, and it has very high ceilings. The bifold doors reveal a very tiny (not walk-in) closet, so we were thinking about adding some built ins? What design advice do you all have to offer? We are definitely going to replace floor, paint walls, etc. but all recommendations and ideas are gladly welcome! Thank you in advance!
