What Is a Woman-Centric Home Plan?
Woman-Centric home plans are designed based on the four primary “lenses” women told us they use when looking at a home in terms of its suitability for her household: Entertaining, De-Stressing, Storing, and Flexibility. This led Design Basics to introduce Livability at a Glance and color-code our floor plans to make it even easier to envision how the home lives.
Through Design Basics Plan Customization Service, we can work together to further tailor your home plan to fit you and your family's needs. Whether you want to enlarge the bedrooms, add innovative storage solutions, or enjoy a larger walk-in shower, we're here to help you create your ideal family home!


Why Are People Choosing Woman-Centric Floor Plans?
With research showing that women are the primary decision makers when it comes to purchasing or building a new home, it’s no surprise that homes designed around women’s preferences should be so popular.
Women tend to consider everyone in the household when making decisions for the home, resulting in floor plan layouts accommodating their entire household’s needs.
Characteristics of a Woman-Centric Home
Utilizing the four Livability At A Glance lenses provides insights into the characteristics of a woman-centric home, while helping you visualize the finished home and how it will live so you can find the perfect design that fits your personal needs and lifestyle!

Entertaining
We include spaces in the home for memorable entertaining! Whether you want a large kitchen that encourages guests to gather around a snack bar, formal entertainment rooms, or casual media rooms perfect for watching sports events or movies, you can have the entertainment spaces you want in your home.

De-Stressing
To help you de-stress from daily life, we offer a variety of spaces geared toward relaxation. From private master suites to quiet porch areas, we have a variety of options so you can choose how you want to relax!

Storing
Storage is a design priority of Woman-Centric house designs. You’ll often enjoy spacious pantries, extra storage in the garage or laundry room, and oversized bedroom closets. Several popular storage and organization amenities made their debut in Woman-Centric home designs, including the drop zone, travel center, and the Stor-N-More.

Flexible Living
We understand the need to have flexible living spaces that can fit many different needs, which is why we include them in our woman-centric home plans. Whether you need a home office, a room that can be used as an in-law suite, or a den that doubles as a space for guests, you're able to customize the space to your needs!
