About Bungalow Styled Home Plans...

Bungalow house plans became popular across the United States in the 1900s when homeowners and builders began responding to the formal Victorian period. This type of plan evolved with the Arts and Crafts movement resulting in informal and practical homes that were and simplistic in nature. Today’s these plans are compact and solid in design. Most are one-story or one-and-a-half-story designs featuring low-pitched roofs, large front porches with wide overhangs, exposed beams and woodwork, and use of natural materials such as rustic wood and stone. Cozy and functional, most bungalow home plans arrange the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and dining space around a central living area. Craftsman home plans and Narrow Lot designs are closely related to Bungalow design.
