Craftsman house plan designs have an appeal that many people find both charming and inviting. Simple forms and natural materials, such as wood and stone, are used to express hand-crafted character in these popular home designs. Part of the same family as bungalow and prairie style, Craftsman house plan designs typically feature a low-pitched roof with multiple intersecting gables. These home designs exhibit unmistakable curb appeal with a wide front porch and natural earth tones that harmonize with the organic materials used in construction. In today's popular renditions, open floor plans create homes that feel spacious and functional. Other Craftsman details include built-in shelving, cabinetry, and an abundant use of wood throughout the home.
