Brainstorming prior to building a custom home
Building a custom home is exciting, challenging, and can be unpredictable if there is a lack of planning. Some people overlook the work that goes into building a custom home prior to pouring the foundation. Problems can be minimized by following these three tips…
1. Establish your personality
The first tip to building a custom home is to establish a theme for your home that reflects your personality and generates unity within your home. This is where the ‘custom’ in custom homes comes into play. The style of your home can range from regal to southwestern as long as it contains a flow that compliments the tempo you are looking for in a custom home. The trick to creating this flow is to repeat similar building styles throughout the interior and exterior of the home.
2. Consider your surroundings
It is important when building a custom home to consider the design of the community around you. This tip can work two different ways for your strategy.
-
The first direction is to conform to the styles of the community by creating a similar build to your own home, but adding subtle twist to make your home custom.
-
The second direction is to make your custom home stand out. This will be achieved by countering the themes of neighboring homes. For instance if the theme of your community is contemporary, try implementing a European look to your home. Just be sure you are aware of any building restrictions that may come into play in your neighborhood.
3. Capitalize on the key aspects of your lot
The area around your home can be complemented by your custom home. The key aspects of your lot can include good or bad views, natural lighting, and personality in the land such as trees and water spots. Modified floor plans can play up these traits and make your home even more custom.
