House Plans with Keeping / Hearth Room

House plans with a keeping room offer a cozy space in the home to relax. These rooms will have a fireplace and offer separation from the heavy traffic areas of the home. A hearth room or keeping room is a cozy gathering spot where family members can relax, talk, or engage in fun activities. A keeping room will contain a fireplace as the central focus of the design. These multi-use rooms are usually attached to or open to the kitchen for convenience.
