If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know how passionate I am about creating designer-style spaces on a budget—without ever compromising on quality or functionality. I’m always talking about affordable ways to recreate high-end designs, curate stunning interiors, and source the best products to help you do the same.
But today, I want to talk about something even more foundational—the home itself. Because no matter how beautiful your furniture or styling is, it all starts with a thoughtfully designed floor plans.
Now let me ask you this: what comes to mind when you hear custom home? For me, it used to scream luxury, out of reach, and reserved for the ultra-rich—thanks to the sky-high architecture fees and the stress of finding the right designer for your budget.

What is Nested Home Plans?
Nested offers a smarter, more flexible way to design your home. You start by choosing from 56 thoughtfully designed base floor plans—each crafted with real functionality and style in mind.

Need CAD files to pass on to your local engineer or builder? Nested provides those too—for a small additional fee. It’s everything you need to create a truly custom home without the traditional custom price tag or timeline.
Let’s face it—most new homes today look the same. That’s because they’re built using cookie-cutter floor plans developed by large builders with little to no room for personalization.

This is exactly where Nested Home Plans stands out.
