4 Features to Add to Your New Home Build

by

There’s a lot to think about when you start the beginning steps of building a new home. However, one of the best parts about building a new home is that you can customize it however you’d like. When designing your dream house, you can use your creativity to add some cool features to your home. 

Here are some construction ideas that you can add to your new build: Home Renovations for 2021

Add Built-In Shelving

You can never go wrong with adding shelving to your home. There’s no better time to add extra storage to your home than during a custom build. Consider installing built-in shelves for a sleek and spacious way to organize and decorate your room. 

Install Higher Ceilings

If you’re looking for a way to open up your home, consider installing higher ceilings. High ceilings also give your home a more luxurious feel and appearance. If you enjoy decorating with wall art, having high ceilings will help make those finishing touches stand out and look more dramatic. 

Add a Mudroom

As you’re designing your new home, consider everything that you might want/needs. Many new home builders love installing mudrooms in their new homes, so they have a place to store coats and muddy shoes without having to trudge through the main parts of your home. Luckily, if you’re on a tighter budget, mudrooms don’t need to be that big. Even just a small, closet-sized space can make a world of difference. 

Create an Upstairs Laundry Room 

When you’re building your new home, keep convenience in mind. You frequently use your laundry room, so it makes sense to consider building one on the second floor of your home. Having the convenience of a laundry room on the second floor will save you fewer trips lugging baskets up and down the stairs.

Benefits of Building a Home

by

Building a HomeAs the housing market becomes more competitive, it can be hard to find the home of your dreams. Recently, there has been a stronger desire for families to look into custom building their homes. A brand-new home has plenty of advantages and is worth the time and energy it takes to build it!

Here are a few of the many benefits of building a custom home:

Building Allows for Personalization

The biggest advantage to building your home is that you can personalize it exactly the way you want. Often, when homes are pre-built, making affordable changes that suits your needs can be challenging. However, when you build your home, no decision is out of your control!

Creating a Custom Floor Plan

When you purchase a pre-existing home, you will likely have to make significant changes such as knocking down walls if you want to change your floor plan. This process usually involves spending a lot of time, money, and effort to get exactly what you want.

When you’re custom building your home, you can choose how big or small you want each room to be. Also, you can pre-determine the location of each room in your home. So, if you wish for the master bedroom to be on the first floor of your home, you can do that!

Increasing in Privacy in the Home

Everyone loves their privacy, and designing your home allows you to create the highest levels of privacy possible. Everything is in your control, so if you want to add architectural features to make you feel more comfortable, you can. Also, you have the flexibility to add features such as trees and privacy fences to increase privacy in your yard.

Building a New Home Can Be Less Costly

Regardless, if you’re buying a home, it’s going to be a significant investment. Although purchase an older home may seem like a cheaper option, sometimes older homes require a lot more maintenance and repairs than a custom-build home. There is much more relief building a brand new house because you won’t have to worry about fixing time and money consuming foundational problems.
