Ways to Personalize Your Custom Home
Getting to build a custom home from the ground up is an incredible opportunity. What could be better than bringing your dream home to life? But what should your dream home have? Every house has the essentials like a kitchen, bedrooms, and living room, but this is your chance to create something personal. Here are a few suggestions for add-ons and features that can really personalize your custom home.
Walk-In Closet
Having a walk-in closet is every fashionista’s dream, and we can’t blame them! Walk-in closets have a ton of benefits, like storage space, improved organization, and even keeping your clothes in better condition. Most people attach it to the master bedroom when drawing up custom home plans, but depending on your whims and needs, it could be attached to a guest room or even serve as its own room connected to the hallway.
A walk-in closet can also act as your personal dressing room. Install a vanity, mirrors, good lighting, and plenty of shelves and hanging space for your clothes. This way, you’ll be able to keep everything you need to look your best in one place. This saves valuable space in the master bedroom that would otherwise be taken up by a dresser or wardrobe.
Home Office and Library
Forget the man cave – a home office or library is the perfect refuge away from the world. Whether you work from home or simply need a quiet place to read, it’s ideal to have a private space where you can concentrate. Whether you decorate with an executive desk or a plush armchair, you’re certain to create a productive, comfortable space in your custom home.
Built-in shelves provide all the space you could need to keep your book collection organized. Sound-proof the walls to ensure you get the quiet you desire. If you’re the cool, quirky sort, consider making the entrance to the library hidden to ensure extra peace and quiet. Be honest – you’ve always wanted a room with a secret entrance, haven’t you?
En-Suite Master Bathroom
Bathrooms are an essential part of any house, but a private, en-suite bathroom is what every master bedroom deserves. It’s a luxury as well as a privilege you can enjoy as the master of the house. In fact, having your own private bathroom retreat means you can personalize it to your wants and needs, bringing it up to spa-levels of comfort and luxury.
You can install the large soaking tub of your dreams or a walk-in shower with built-in shelves and seating. Use funky tiles to give it a pop of color or give it a more natural feel with granite countertops. Be sure to use eco-friendly materials and water-wise faucets so you can bathe in comfort while still being green and saving on utilities.
Building a custom home from the ground up is the key to creating your dream home full of personalized touches. Whether you’re the quirky sort who wants hidden rooms for reading or a spa-like bathroom for relaxation, the only way to get everything you could ever want is to design it yourself.
