Craftsman house plans, also known as Arts and Crafts style homes, are known for their beautiful rustic touches and naturally crafted look. Craftsman house designs typically use a mix of exterior finishes such as cedar shakes, stone, and shiplap siding and have cozy, informal interior layouts. This style developed in response to the ornately decorated homes that rose in popularity during the Industrial Revolution, and it sought to revalue the work of artisans in the 19th century.
Craftsman designs put an emphasis on form and function, which results in beautiful and practical designs. They offer things like decorative millwork and handy built-ins and use natural materials like wood and stone. The final result is a cozy, rustic home with plenty of curb appeal and an understated, laid-back atmosphere.
The common features of the Craftsman style include low-pitched gable (triangular) roofs, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and beams, heavy tapered columns, large overhands, decorative millwork like gable pediments and brackets, patterned window panes, and covered porches in front and back. Inside, you can expect a hearth area and an informal layout made to bring people together.
