Inspiration for your custom home can come from anywhere. Whether you are designing a rustic home or a modern chic home, inspiration can be found anywhere. As you travel around town, visit new places, and frequent your favorite spots, snap a photo (or several) of the things you love for dream home ideas. These photos will act as your custom home inspiration. Here are just a few places you can look for inspiration:
Favorite Restaurants
As you sit down at your favorite table in your favorite restaurant, take note of what keeps you coming back. Obviously the food is amazing, but what else? Maybe you love the decor, the furniture, the tables, or the color scheme of the entire place. Something in this place draws you back time and time again. With unique door frames, textured walls, and built in cabinets, your home can easily make you feel like you’re at your favorite restaurant.
Outdoor Spaces
Whether it’s the park down the street or your favorite hiking trail, the outdoors is a great place to find design inspiration for your home. Streams, the colors around you, and even the textures you find, custom home inspiration can come from anywhere. Think about the different ways you can incorporate your favorite outdoor spaces into your backyard, patio, or even living areas. If you love camping, then visit your favorite campsite and look for inspiration for interior rooms like your bedroom. Using painting techniques and architectural details, your room can be as relaxing as a weekend camping trip.
Coffee Shops
Love visiting coffee shops? You can easily incorporate the look, feel, and style of a coffee shop into your kitchen and dining spaces. With a custom coffee bar, laid back furniture, and an open environment, you could feel like you were in a coffee shop every day. Snap photos of the coffee equipment, the furniture, the decor, and even the materials used in the space like different tiles and wood accents.
Museums
From textures to decor, museums are a great source for your Indianapolis custom home inspiration. Art museums can give you inspiration for any room in your home. If your kids are really into specific subjects like science, then a science museum is a great place to find inspiration for their bedroom. You could have your builder install a fibre optic ceiling to create a star field or even install a built in desk so they can whip up experiments and test their hypothesis.
Home Improvement Stores
This one may seem a little more obvious because a lot of your home’s design elements will come from home improvement stores, but you can still get tons of great inspiration here. Walk down the aisles and look at the different tiles, decor, lighting, and appliances. This is even a great place to get ideas for custom build items like cabinets, storage spaces, and even closets.
