Dream Colonial House Plans, Floor Plans & Home Designs

Colonial style house plans cover a broad spectrum of architectural movements and geographic locations, but generally show influences from the simple structures built along the East Coast during the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Early Republic eras in American history. Of course, like many of today’s other popular home styles, fidelity to any one architectural movement isn’t the point. Rather, these designs evoke simplicity and tradition while still incorporating must-haves of today’s homes (like garages and big kitchen).
You’ll find a wide range of styles within this collection, from simple saltbox designs (look for the asymmetrical sloping roof) and Cape Cod homes to larger Georgian home plans. Adam-Federal style house plans (a later development) feature low-pitched roofs and more decorative detail. Dutch Colonial house plans are easy to spot by their gambrel roof (with two different slopes, shallow and then steep – when you think of a classic barn shape, you probably picture a gambrel roof).
While many Colonial homes feature two stories (especially farmhouses), you’ll also find many one story designs and even those with one-and-a-half stories, traditional to Cape Cod designs. Dormers frequently are added to the exteriors and bring light into the second floor.
Exterior materials vary on Colonial style house designs, from brick (common in the Mid-Atlantic states) to siding and occasionally stone or stucco. Symmetry is an important hallmark of many Colonial designs, with windows often aligned on top of each other and elegant entryways in the middle. Shutters frequently appear on these designs – for the most realistic look, choose ones that are properly scaled to the windows. Palladian windows add elegance and bring in plenty of light. You’ll also find porches on many of today’s Colonial styles to add a bit of country flair and a comfortable place to relax outside.
While Colonial plans traditionally presented a central hall with rooms branching off in a formal arrangement, today’s preference for open-concept layouts means that the floor plans are quite different. Most families don’t have need for a parlor or even a formal living room any more. Instead, the majority of designs from recent years devote square footage to the great room and kitchen, because that’s where we spend a lot of time and entertain in a casual way.
Colonial style homes work well in traditional neighborhoods, especially on the East Coast. Find your Colonial house plan today and bring timeless beauty to your area.

SPIRIT UNTAMED - Only in theaters June 4. An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation. Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier. Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero. Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father. When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected. Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).
