The idea of building a custom home is exciting – and the actual building is just as exciting, although unfortunately there are sometimes stumbling blocks along the way for those who don’t plan carefully. Our Flower Mound custom home builders want the process of building your own home to be one you enjoy, one that’s fun and pleasant. There’s a lot going on and tons of things to think about, but we’re sharing a few important considerations you don’t want to forget.
Closets, bathrooms, hallways and other space stealers. A lot of time homeowners don’t really think about how a bedroom closet an impact the available space and shape of a room. The same goes for the master bath. Think about factors such as location in the room, how small or big the closets or bathrooms need to be, and whether these things will alter the size or shape of the room they’re located in. The same goes for hallways, as a narrow hall with a low ceiling can make you feel almost claustrophobic. If you can’t widen the hallway, think about how a higher ceiling could give it a more open, spacious feel.
Where are the rooms? You probably wouldn’t want to have to carry groceries from the front or garage door all the way to the other end of the house where the kitchen is located. This is why you may want the kitchen located elsewhere in the home! Do you want the bedrooms located in close proximity to the family room where it could be a problem if some members of the family stay up later at night, watching television or playing games? Maybe not. When it comes to the placement of rooms and layout, think long and hard about their location, how often they’re accessed, amount of traffic, etc. By carefully choosing room layout, you will have a home your entire family enjoys for years to come.
Plan for an electronic world. Televisions, computers, chargers for smartphones, sound systems, the ability to power hundreds of lights over Christmas holidays; ours is an electronic world. Considering all of the electronic devices and appliances we use today, you don’t want to find yourself short on electrical outlets or discover too late they’re not located where you need them. From interior rooms to the exterior of your home, make sure there are plenty of outlets located conveniently. You might also want to consider having your custom home prewired for any extras.
