The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Floor Plans for Family Living

Choosing the perfect floor plan is one of the most exciting steps in designing a family home, but it can also feel overwhelming.

At Ross North Homes, we understand that every family’s lifestyle is unique, and that’s why our home designs in Perth are crafted to offer flexibility, comfort, and function.

1. Envision Your Lifestyle

Before diving into floor plan options, picture how your family spends time together. Are you drawn to open-plan living where kids can play within sight while meals are being prepared? Or would you prefer quieter, defined spaces for privacy?

With Ross North, both the Signature and Premium plans offer carefully designed layouts that allow you to find the right balance.

For instance, our Premium floor plans often include enhanced living zones, such as a theatre room or an alfresco dining area, perfect for families who love to entertain. This extra space offers a separate retreat without sacrificing the home’s flow.

2. The Heart of the Home – Open-Plan Living

Open-plan living is key to family-friendly design. Spaces like the kitchen, dining, and living areas blend seamlessly, offering the flexibility to keep an eye on the kids while getting dinner ready.

Many Ross North homes feature spacious central hubs that naturally become the heart of the household, perfect for everything from casual family dinners to holiday celebrations.

3. Privacy and Quiet Zones

As much as families enjoy spending time together, having designated quiet zones is essential. Bedrooms located away from busy areas or master suites positioned for extra privacy help to create a sanctuary for parents while allowing children their own personal space.

In designs like The Rochedale, the master suite is tucked away at the rear of the home, providing a peaceful retreat after a long day.

4. Room to Grow

A great floor plan should also cater to future needs. As your family grows, so should your home. Look for flexible spaces that can evolve over time – a study nook today could become a teen’s quiet study area in a few years.

Ross North’s floor plans offer thoughtful touches like additional storage spaces, multi-purpose rooms, and functional layouts that adapt to your family’s needs over the years.

5. The Signature vs. Premium Plan Difference

At Ross North, we believe in choice. That’s why many of our homes come with both Premium and Premium floor plan options. The Signature plans are perfect for families looking for a streamlined, elegant design that meets all their needs, while the Signature versions add luxurious extras, from sculleries to upgraded living areas.

Whether you prefer a cosy, practical layout or a home with every added touch, you can find the perfect fit.

6. Design Your Dream Home

Ultimately, selecting a floor plan is about ensuring that your home suits how you and your family live now and in the future. With Ross North Homes, you can explore options that prioritise comfort, style, and family-friendly functionality.

Whether you’re choosing one of our Signature floor plans or opting for the upgraded Premium version, your home will be a place where your family’s story unfolds.

With Ross North’s flexible and functional designs, you’re not just building a house; you’re creating a family sanctuary. Explore our latest floor plans to find the perfect one for your family!
