Midwest House Plans

Just as the name suggests, Midwest House Plans evoke the images and visuals common to the rolling plains of the region. It is common for homes in the Midwest to use neutral earth tones that resemble the grain fields and sprawling landscapes of the states in which the style was born. Many Midwest house plans fall into the Craftsman or Prairie style, popularized by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright during the early 1900s.

 Midwest homes reflect a desire for simpler times, evident through continuous horizontal lines and clean, solid edges. Midwestern states plans are available as single-story or two-story floor plans, commonly featuring at least three bedrooms and two bathrooms, reflecting the abundance of open space familiar to the Midwestern region. As with Craftsman-style homes, plans typical to the Midwest emphasize simple aesthetics with a traditional feel, making gables and dormers common.

Midwestern houses also frequently use natural building materials in construction, which can impart varying appearances. Some home plans may feature stone facades with natural or composite materials to create a timeless appearance. In contrast, others may use more traditional siding and roof tiling that incorporates the common wood types in the area. Interiors may include a Great Room or similar open floor plan living space, re-creating the feeling of openness that one would feel out on the prairies. Many of these plans also include high ceilings, frequently focusing on the main living and dining areas and large kitchens that can accommodate many modern luxuries and appliances.
