Inspiration kit home plan review:
Straightedge homes
The Inspiration 3 is a four bedroom two bathroom kit plan by Straightedge homes.
The Inspiration 3 plan is designed around a practical and well-balanced layout that supports contemporary family living. Its overall structure centres on an open and welcoming living zone, with quieter private areas branching to each side. The design aims to provide clear functional separation between daily activity spaces, retreat spaces, and utility areas, while keeping movement through the home simple and intuitive.
At the heart of the plan is a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen zone. The living area measures 7240 x 5350 mm, creating a generous central hub suitable for family gatherings, casual relaxation, or entertaining. The open layout allows furniture to be arranged for social interaction while keeping clear pathways through the space. Directly connected is the dining area, positioned to enjoy both indoor convenience and easy access to the adjoining patio. Large sliding doors open the dining zone to the outdoor living area, supporting natural light, ventilation, and indoor–outdoor flow.
Inspiration attributes
The kitchen is set just off the main living space and measures 3500 x 3900 mm, offering a well-proportioned working area. A dedicated pantry provides valuable storage, helping to maintain a clutter-free kitchen environment. The kitchen’s placement allows direct visual connection to the living and dining areas, enabling the cook to remain part of household activity.
One of the home’s key strengths is its separation of the master suite from the secondary bedrooms. On the left wing of the plan, the master suite includes a generous bedroom (3843 x 4020 mm), a walk-in robe, and an ensuite with a double vanity layout. This suite is positioned for privacy and convenience, with close access to the study and laundry but buffered from household noise by internal doors and the walk-in robe. The study (3150 x 2750 mm) is an asset for work, hobbies, or quiet reading, and its placement next to the master suite also suits those who prefer a private office space separate from the busier zones of the home.
The right wing of the home contains the remaining bedrooms and supporting amenities. Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 are nearly identical in size (both approximately 3410–3560 mm in width), each fitted with built-in robes. This wing also includes a separate toilet, a well-appointed bathroom with a full shower and bath, and a broom cupboard for additional storage. A notable feature here is the dedicated theatre room (3565 x 4400 mm). This space offers families a specialised area for media, gaming, or quiet relaxation, and its positioning away from the central living zone reduces sound transfer.

The WC is separate from the main bathroom, improving usability for households with multiple members. The bathroom features a well-sized shower, bath, and vanity, providing comfortable routines for children, guests, or extended family.
Storage has been given sensible consideration across the plan. Built-in robes appear in both secondary bedrooms, linen storage is located near the laundry, and the pantry supports kitchen efficiency. The walk-in robe in the master suite further enhances available storage capacity without intruding on living spaces.
Utility functions are handled along the internal service corridor that leads from the master suite toward the central living area. The laundry includes external access for clotheslines or outdoor tasks, and its placement near the linen cupboard is efficient for household routines. The internal corridor design reduces noise spill into the main living areas and keeps daily chores neatly organised out of sight.
Outdoor living is an intentional component of the Inspiration 3 design. The patio, positioned behind the dining zone, provides a sheltered and inviting space for outdoor meals or quiet relaxation. At the front of the home, a portico lined on the rake adds definition to the entrance and enhances street presence. These outdoor elements add functional living space without complicating the home’s internal flow.
Overall, the Inspiration 3 plan is shaped around balance: spacious central living, well-located private retreats, and thoughtfully arranged utility spaces. The left wing forms a quiet parents’ domain, the right wing supports children or guests, and the centre serves as the everyday social and activity hub. This combination creates a layout suitable for families who value clear organisation, comfortable proportions, and a strong sense of connection between indoor and outdoor living.
This plan is approximately 170sqm (no indication on the site), and the full kit is priced at $143,000. This price is on the higher side, but have a good look at the extra inclusions: raked and or 2.7m ceilings, lined portico, 4 panel sliders at the front, generous glazing, ceiling insulation etc. Straightedge has two other variants in this style so check them out too.
