Building your own home involves making a lot of different choices. There are some features that are timeless in a home and some features that are just fads. Here are a few current home building trends that could look great in your house for years to come. You should consider incorporating some of these trends into your Custom Design Home.
Include A Dedicated Drop Zone
Your custom house needs to be both functional and beautiful. One way to do that is to create a dedicated drop zone coming into your house. Construct your home with storage by the entry way. Make sure your family has a place to hang up their coats, take off their scarves, and place their shoes. This will keep the rest of your house looking clean.
Build In Lots Of Storage
The one thing most home owners wish they would have though more about is storage. You can prevent this problem by thinking smart about storage as you build your home. If you have stairs, install either cabinets or drawers under your staircase to make sure of that space. Install storage in every extra place in your house. A great builder can help you incorporate storage in a stylish manner.
Incorporate Technology
Technology is only increasing in importance. Make sure your house is built for it. Add in more electrical outlets than you need; it is easier to put them in when you are building your house than to add them later. Add electrical outlets up high in rooms where you may want to hang up a television set. Build your house with the security system and thermostats. Once again, it is easier to install these to start out with.
Be Energy Efficient
There are many different ways you make your new Custom Design Home more energy efficient. Make sure you take advantage of every opportunity. You can install energy efficient windows in your home. You can install an energy efficient heating and cooling system. You can even install energy efficient appliances in your new home.
