A floor planner can guide you in making the best decisions when designing an A Frame home, barndominium, or any type of property that you want to personalize.

Just purchased your dream A-Frame or are planning to build one on a plot of land? There are many unique ways to turn this versatile, triangular-shaped structure into something that’s truly yours. Whether you plan to use it as a getaway spot or live in it full-time, you can brainstorm ideas and illustrate them in detail by using a floor planning tool. It will help you decide on how to set up your kitchen and living space, how to arrange the bedroom, what size furniture to choose, and how to plan your outdoor living area. From the inside out, it lets you clearly define your ideas and design.

Not sure how to get a floor plan? You can create your own with HomeByMe. Below, we break down the different steps to make one, and the types of A Frame house plans to consider for your property.

Living room for A-Frame house

A-Frame House Floor Plans

Famously characterized by its steep, triangular roof pitch and sturdy structure, the A Frame is a timeless piece of architecture. Since it requires fewer materials to build, it’s an economical option compared to traditional homes. Even though the triangular design may feel restrictive, there are numerous ways you can arrange this space to make it work for you. To determine what type of A Frame house floor plans you want to create, here are some of the most common features you’ll find today.

Loft-Style with a Fireplace

Based on the shape, A Frames are ideal for designing a modern-meets-rustic, loft-style interior with a fireplace. It’s a classic look that maximizes the living space. And of course, you can’t beat the warmth and ambiance that a fireplace imbues. Having it placed in the living area will create a luxurious, cabin-like vibe while also providing an anchoring feature in your design.

A Private Bedroom

As stylish as it looks, the reality is a loft-style layout won’t work for everyone. If you like your privacy or plan on having guests stay with you, then a private one-bedroom is a must. In many cases, this can be incorporated into the house plan by carving out a segment and erecting walls around it. Having that separate sleeping space will also let you experiment with the upper loft area. Turn it into a reading nook, lounging area, or creative space.

Immersive Outdoor Living

Don’t neglect the exterior when thinking about your floor plan. Take advantage of the natural setting with a large deck or a wraparound to enjoy the view. It’s a relatively simple add-on that’s well worth it when you can enjoy your morning coffee while being immersed in nature.

A Floor Plan Creator That Anyone Can Use

HomeByMe is a user-friendly floor plan creator for novice DIYers and professionals. From simple outlines to comprehensive designs, it’s a fantastic way to customize every inch of your property.

Let's walk through the process step-by-step:

1

1 Step 1. DIY 2D Blueprint

A 2D blueprint gives a top-down overview of the property, clearly outlining all of the foundational components of the house.

All you need are the measurements of your property to begin outlining the walls, doors, and windows. If there’s a sunroof or other structural features, add these in.

The goal of this is to create an exact outline of the property, so make sure all of the dimensions coincide with your A Frame.  

2

2 Step 2. Furnish and Decorate in 3D

From your 2D blueprint, you can click to change your viewpoint and watch as your outline automatically converts into a life-like 3D visual. With a complete outline of your A Frame done, you can furnish and decorate it.

The HomeByMe catalog is filled with materials and products that you can click and drag into your virtual house. Try different tables and chairs to see what will accommodate the size of the property. Add a fireplace and drag it around to discover the best place to put it in your living room.

For the bedroom setup, choose from different beds, nightstands, lighting, and accessories. Minimal, boho, chic or woodsy – whatever your style is, you can find all sorts of amazing products for your house.

3 Step 3. View and Tour Your Plans Using AR

Using augmented reality, you can view and tour your A Frame house plans and get a real impression of your design directly.

Make any substitutions while you’re there, or adapt and alter them when you’re on the go with the mobile app.

When you’re happy with your design, snap panoramic photos, save your work and share a link so that others can weigh in on the design.

Barndominium Floor Plans

If you’re a fan of the rustic-meets-modern, open-concept style but want a larger amount of space, a barndominium might be a great fit for you. Barndominiums or barndos are also cost-effective options that have so much design potential. A floor plan will let you visualize and understand what your final barndo will look like. It will show you the exact size that you have to work with, how many bedrooms can fit within it, whether there’s room for a workshop or garage, and more. Use HomeByMe to support your vision when building your barndomiunium floor plans and avoid surprises. Here are some suggestions to think about when drafting your design.

Traditional Meets Modern

Many barndominiums are designed in a thoughtful way that balances traditional, country-style living with a sleek and modern edge. Exposed wood beams, basin sinks, large kitchen tables, and black and white color schemes are a few examples of how these two styles can be elegantly blended.

Wide Open Floor Plans

Barndos are meant to be open and spacious. When drafting your design, consider maintaining flow between the kitchen and living spaces. Place furnishings strategically – like a large kitchen table – to add some separation while preserving that cozy, homestead charm.

Workshop Meets Living Space

With plenty of square footage to play around with, you can add a workshop in an upper loft, build a garage for a separate space, or situate a workshop in any way that lets you fully enjoy your creative hobbies.

To create a beautiful A Frame or barndominum layout that’s modified for you, a floor plan is essential. From bedrooms to storage to materials and furniture, it lets you display your design completely so your builders can understand your vision. Start designing with HomeByMe today!
