Tips for Choosing a Floor Plan that Works for You
Building a new home means choosing a floor plan. There are a lot of options you can choose from and it can be overwhelming. To make sure your floor plan is right for you here are a few tips to help guide you.
Plan for Your Future
Choosing a floor plan that can adapt to your lifestyle over the years. If this is your forever home, then you’ll need to consider how your needs will change over the years. For families with young kids, you may consider having a playroom that can one day convert into an office space or guest bedroom. Planning for the future also means consider the size of your home once you have children also once they move out. The question you want to ask yourself is will your home have enough space or not enough?
Do you love to entertain?
For the natural-born host, a floor plan that can accommodate not only your everyday life but your guests will be important. The best floor plan for entertaining would avoid separating living areas and bringing everyone together. Open floor plans are great for this type of lifestyle. There are a lot of pros and cons to having an open floor plan to consider as well. Which leads us to our next tip.
Open or Separate Floor Plan?
Open concept floor plans have been on trend for many years now. The open floor plan brings all of your living areas together to create one large living space. The open floor plan is great for not only entertaining but for families who want to keep an eye on the kids while working in the kitchen. The challenge that comes with this floor plan is the lack of privacy and lack of wall space in your home. If you don’t mind the idea of one large great room an open concept floor plan could be right for your home.
Conclusion: Tips for Choosing a Floor Plan that Works for You
There is much more that you need to consider when choosing a floor plan. For example, the number and size of rooms, location of main living areas, and bedrooms. Our most important tip for choosing a floor plan would be to hire a professional. If you are looking to start on a new build, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!

Visualize welcoming friends into a softly lit lounge where a 600-bottle, climate-controlled cellar glows behind ultra-clear glass. A single tap on your phone lowers the temperature two degrees, LED ribbons spotlight a 1990 Château Latour, and the conversation shifts from market headlines to terroir. That experience, part theater, part craftsmanship, part investment vault, is driving the latest boom in luxury home wine sanctuaries. In 2025, serious collectors no longer hide vintages in a dusty basement; they showcase them at the very heart of the estate, turning storage into social space. Recent design reports even call the modern wine cellar a “jewel box” for the ultra-affluent, thanks to glass enclosures, app-controlled thermostats, and gallery-style lighting. But what transforms a mere storage room into a sanctuary worthy of your first-growth Bordeaux? Let’s uncork the essentials, backed by real Fratantoni projects and the latest industry data.

Visualize stepping from your gourmet kitchen directly onto a shaded veranda, where a crackling fireplace, designer seating, and a resort-style pool await. The walls between indoors and outdoors vanish (literally), thanks to expansive glass sliders and seamless architectural transitions. This is the new standard in luxury living: a harmonious blend of interior elegance and the natural world beyond. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we’ve mastered the art of indoor-outdoor living for Arizona’s most exclusive communities. As Arizona’s premier custom home builder, our work in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and beyond proves that true luxury isn’t just about what’s inside your home, it’s about how your entire estate flows.
Building a custom home should be an experience marked by excitement, creativity, and complete trust in the team guiding you through it. But as we’ve seen time and again, placing your dream in the wrong hands can lead to disappointment, delays, and costly mistakes. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we’ve earned a reputation for building exceptional homes for discerning families across the nation. Many of our clients come to us after working with firms that didn’t meet their standards—and they’re often relieved to find the level of service, detail, and sophistication they expected from the start. Before you commit to a design/build firm, watch for these five red flags that could derail your custom home experience and discover how we intentionally do things differently. 1. Vague Proposals and Unrealistic Estimates If a proposal lacks clarity, feels overly “cookie-cutter,” or seems too low for the level of finishes you expect, take pause. Bespoke homes require bespoke planning. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our proposals are precise, detailed, and tailored to the scale and style of your estate. You’ll know exactly what’s include and what to expect so there are no surprises down the road. 2. Disconnected Teams and Outsourced Design When architecture, design, and construction are handled by different firms, communication gaps are inevitable—and those gaps show up in your finished home. Our in-house team of architects, designers, and builders work seamlessly together, ensuring a unified vision and flawless execution. This full-service model is how we create homes with harmony, balance, and timeless design integrity.
