Craftsman house plans are based on the thinking of English designers, including John Ruskin and William Morris, who launched the Arts and Crafts Movement, which celebrated handicrafts and encouraged the use of simple forms and natural materials. Most popular in America from 1920 to 1942 they sprang up by the thousands, thanks to mail order plans published by Gustav Stickley.

Signature Inviting Porch

Signature Inviting Porch

Typically a battened door with wrought-iron strap hinges welcomes guests paired with the signature wide, inviting porch unique to Craftsman style homes. The front porch typically spans the width of the front exterior facade supported by heavy square or round columns contrasting the bold exterior stone chimneys.

Inside, Craftsman style homes offer airy open floor plans with few hallways but lots of windows to let in light. Stained or leaded glass windows provide a special touch while beamed ceilings, dark wood wainscoting moldings, built-in cabinets, shelves and seating create a cozy welcoming retreat for family activities and casual entertaining.

Low-Slung Roof

Low-Slung Roof

Related to Bungalow, Prairie, and Pueblo homes, Craftsman style house plans feature wood, stone or stucco siding, a low pitched roof, and wide eaves with exposed wood rafters. The low-slung roof; often with multiple projections gives the home a "built-in" feel.
