Building the floor plans of a log cabin

Considering the layout of bespoke log cabins usually involves making a detailed floor plan. 

This allows you to decide how big each room, is and where they will be located inside your structure. 

Your living room area will normally take centre stage inside the log cabin. When considering your plans and size guides, it is important to allow for sufficient space for items that will make the area feel warm and cosy, meeting the needs of you, your family and any guests. 

This could include space for comfortable seating arrangements, or even a stone fireplace.

In some log cabins, kitchens form another integral part of the build. You should consider the door and window placements in your garden cabin room, as well as allowing enough room for important additions like workspaces and benches. 

As well as having room for all the essential equipment, safety features like ventilation must also be factored into your floor plans.

Similarly, bathrooms and toilets must be large enough to be safely exited in the case of emergencies. Don’t forget to consider the position of the ventilator to allow moisture and steam to escape. This is especially important for hot tub garden rooms.

Exits and entrances should be accessible and convenient, and factored into your plans.
