One of the most beloved architectural styles in America is the Craftsman bungalow house plan. The American Arts and Crafts Movement was popularized from the last years of the 19th century through the early years of the 20th century, but continues to be a favorite with architects, designers as well as homeowners. Opposite of the Victorian Age, where excess decoration, ornamentation and accessories often filled a dwelling making it gaudy and uncomfortable, the Craftsman style offered open spaces, a shift toward using natural materials and a simpler interior with less clutter. Many deemed this as a "breath of fresh air" after the complicated Victorian style.
One of the most famous American architects, Frank Lloyd Wright incorporated many Craftsman ideas into his designs. Around the same time, Gustav Stickley began to manufacture Craftsman furniture and publish a magazine called, "The Craftsman" which made Craftsman style southern home floor plans available to people all throughout the United States by mail order. So, regions of the country where subdivisions were yet to be built suddenly had access to new home designs.

The Craftsman Movement also began a shift in how Americans lived. Cities had begun to thrive and now many were moving to the suburbs. Suddenly, homeownership was not out of reach and soon the American Dream. The Craftsman style home gave Americans the opportunity to live simply and comfortably while surrounding themselves with natural materials that rural country life typically offered.
Upper and middle class Americans who still preferred the ornate, decorative style of the Victorian Age, however, did not favor craftsman style and still preferred their luxury mansion floor plans. But, the common middle class man who was unable to afford a home could now purchase a Craftsman house plan since its materials were mass-produced. Craftsman style homes typically incorporated nature into the design and were less expensive to build, while also being easy to maintain. It was the perfect combination for the first-time homeowner!
There are quite a few characteristics that a Craftsman home includes. Craftsman homes are constructed of wood, stone and/or stucco, have low pitched roof lines, wide eaves with triangular brackets, exposed roof rafters, and numerous windows. These houses all usually come with large front porches with thick square or round columns, stone porch supports and stone chimneys. The interior of the homes have open floor plans with few hallways, interior exposed beamed ceilings, dark wood wainscoting and moldings, built-in seating and lots of cabinets and shelving.
