Single Story, 2 Bed, 1 Bath, 800 sq. ft. Mediterranean House Floor Plans: La Palma Cottage

Last updated on May 22, 2026 · ⓘ How we make our floor plans

This is a compact single-floor Mediterranean-style house plan with 800 sq ft of living area. The layout is tidy, direct, and pleasantly practical. No wasted drama. Just enough charm to make the front door feel smug.

The facade carries a warm Spanish-inspired character with smooth white stucco walls, arched openings, and soft aqua shutters. Brick trim frames the tall windows, adding texture without shouting. The roof uses terracotta barrel tiles with broad hip forms and dark exposed rafter tails. Black lanterns and a recessed entry complete the crafted, old-world look.

Total area: 800 sq ft
Bedrooms: 2

Main Floor

The main floor measures 27 ft wide by 36 ft deep, with the full 800 sq ft arranged on one level. The plan places the public rooms toward the front and center, while the two bedrooms sit more privately toward the rear and upper side of the layout.

The entry opens into a compact receiving zone and connects quickly to the living room, dining area, kitchen, and hall. Circulation is simple. The hall acts as the main organizer, linking bedrooms, bath, laundry, and shared living spaces without turning the house into a maze. Very polite of it.

Storage is worked in with care. Each bedroom has dedicated closet space, and the coat closet near the entry handles daily items before they wander into the living room and start a small rebellion. The utility/laundry room is also placed close to the bath and kitchen, keeping service functions efficient and contained.

We have more facade options of this design:

Deep Greige Siding with Pale Stone Trim and Black Accents

Deep greige walls, pale stone trim, near-black olive shutters, black front door, and black architectural fixtures

The facade now leans moodier and sharper, with deep greige stucco giving the cottage a richer, more grounded face. Pale stone trim around the arched entry and windows brightens the composition and crisps up the curves, while the black front door adds a clean focal punch—small, but bossy in the best way.

The shutters shifting to a near-black olive bring a dusky, tailored contrast that plays beautifully against the warm roof tiles. Black architectural fixtures, from the lanterns to the metal accents, tighten the whole look and make the Mediterranean lines feel more edited, more elegant, and just a touch dramatic.

Limestone Off-White Palette with Matte Black Accents

Limestone off-white walls, tonal trim, monochromatic shutters, black entry door, and matte black detailing

The big shift is the new limestone off-white façade, which gives the house a softer, more tailored presence while keeping its Mediterranean bones intact. Tonal trim now blends into the stucco-like surface instead of outlining every edge, so the arches, tower entry, and curved window heads feel cleaner and more sculpted—less chatter, more charm.

The monochromatic shutters tighten the look even further, letting the brick window surrounds and terracotta roof do the flirting. A black entry door anchors the recessed portal with crisp contrast, while matte black detailing at the lanterns, hardware, and accents adds a sharper cadence.

It’s moodier, sleeker, and just a little bit better dressed.

Adobe Tan Siding with Cream Trim, Forest Green Shutters, Walnut Door & Black Wrought Iron Fixtures

Adobe tan walls, cream trim, deep forest green shutters, walnut door, and wrought iron black fixtures

The facade now leans warmer and richer with adobe tan walls, giving the stucco exterior a sun-baked, Mediterranean ease. Cream trim sharpens the arched windows and entry surround, so the curves read crisper and a bit dressier—like the house put on its good loafers.

The deep forest green shutters add a moodier, classic punch against the pale walls, while the walnut front door brings in a grounded, handsome note beneath the central tower. Wrought iron black fixtures finish the swap with a darker, more tailored edge, making the entry feel slightly more dramatic without turning into a diva.

Taupe Siding with Cream Trim and Eucalyptus Shutters

Light taupe walls, cream trim, faded eucalyptus shutters, espresso wood door, and dark bronze fixtures

The new light taupe walls soften the whole facade at once, giving the stucco a warmer, sandier hush that suits the Mediterranean lines beautifully. Cream trim brightens the arched entry, exposed rafter tails, and window edges, so the massing feels crisper without getting fussy—quite the glow-up.

The faded eucalyptus shutters bring a dusty green note that plays charmingly against the brick window surrounds, like the house discovered sage and never looked back. An espresso wood door now anchors the entry with richer contrast, while the dark bronze fixtures sharpen the archway and windows with a moodier wink.

Pale Greige Palette with Dusty Blue-Gray Shutters

Pale greige walls, warm white trim, dusty blue-gray shutters, charcoal-blue door, and black iron accents

The facade shifts into a softer, more tailored mood with pale greige walls and warm white trim, which brighten the stucco-like surfaces without making them feel stark or fussy.

Dusty blue-gray shutters cool the composition just enough, giving the arched windows a calmer, more polished frame. It’s a small palette twist, but the house suddenly looks like it got very good sleep.

The charcoal-blue door deepens the entry tower and gives the arched opening a stronger focal point, while black iron accents sharpen the lanterns and hardware with crisp contrast.

Against the terracotta roof, those darker details make the front elevation feel more grounded and a touch dressier. Same Mediterranean bones, just wearing smarter shoes.
