The interiors of bungalow homes often feature nice woodwork and have a feeling of simple elegance and comfort.  The open floor plan make the bungalow easy to clean and well suited those who are mobility impaired.

The attic in many of these houses has been adapted to living space, with access usually through a first floor bedroom. Second floor ceiling heights may vary from six to eight feet.

Second floor living space can only be counted in the overall square footage if the floor-to-ceiling height is at least seven feet and the distance across the ceiling measures a minimum of two feet.
