5 Potential Additions to Consider For Your Custom Home

Posted on: October 3, 2013

There's a lot that goes into designing a great custom home. Because there are so many details to iron out, most people choose to start with the basics like bedrooms, bathrooms and how large they want their kitchen to be. While it does make sense to start with those major decisions, that doesn't mean you simply want to gloss over the smaller details once you reach them. Instead, really taking time to dig into the smaller details is one of the best ways to ensure your custom home project has the exact outcome you want.

Since there are plenty of different additions you can make to the design of your custom home, we want to highlight five that have the potential to make your home a place that you absolutely love:

Amazing Bookshelves

Although the iPad and Kindle have made ebooks quite popular over the last few years, if you prefer the tactile experience of a physical book, you're far from being alone. Not only do physical copies of books deliver a unique reading experience, but they are also a great way to show your personality. Building bookshelves into one or more of the walls in your home will give you a great way to access and enjoy the book collection you've amassed.

The Perfect Sitting Room

Once you've got your books arranged, you'll want a place where you can get comfortable and enjoy them. Thinking about this space as you're designing your custom home means you'll be be able to plan for things like the right amount of lighting.

A Place for Productivity

In addition to a home office, it's also worth thinking about if you or any other members of your family need a dedicated space where you can get things done.

The Ideal Bar

It's not that difficult to create a bar in almost any area of your home. But just because this addition can be made anywhere doesn't mean that all bars are the same. If you want one that both serves your exact needs and truly impresses anyone who sees it, you'll definitely want to take advantage of the freedom that designing a custom home provides.

One of the really cool things about opting for this type of design is you can shape it around the specific types of drinks you enjoy most. For example, having a space that replicates a cool sports bar is going to look a lot different than one that's inspired by a cocktail bar. By making this design part of your custom home process, you'll be able to get the exact space you want.

Showcases for Your Collections

Just as we previously touched on with books, if you have other collections that you're passionate about, a custom home gives you the opportunity to decide exactly how you want to showcase those collections and then include the showcases in your design.
