Let’s look at some of the most popular must-have items for your new custom home.
Building a custom home offers many advantages, and our experts at Robin Ford Builders can help you turn your dream into a reality. Before you get started, list the custom home features you wish to integrate into the property.
While your custom-built home needs to have some unique and personal features, understanding these custom home trends will help you unlock your property’s full potential. Let’s look at some of the most popular must-have items for your new custom home.
Home Office
The pandemic caused a huge spike in people working from home. Since then, many organizations have become more flexible with remote work. Whether you’re a business owner or an employee, you may have the chance to work from home. As such, home offices have become a necessity for many.
A dedicated home office to support your work-from-home position allows you to remain productive. Also, having a separate workspace creates a clear psychological barrier for you to mentally switch from work to leisure mode once you leave the room. Of course, the home office can also add more value to the property and your work-life balance.
When designing the home office, ensure it has good lighting, ergonomic furniture, and the necessary furniture and equipment to perform your job.
Smart Windows
If building an eco-friendly property is your priority, it’s not enough to simply focus on appliances and solar roof panels. You also need to focus on using materials and features that conserve energy. Expansive smart windows are easily one of the best solutions. They protect the environment, save money, and offer incredible versatility.
Traditional windows can be responsible for up to 30% of heat loss in residential properties. Large, smart, switchable windows can be turned from standard glass to frosted glass with a button. A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal layer provides privacy and can also be used to maximize natural light and heat usage. The ultra-durable windows also give the home a sleek and refined aesthetic from both the interior and exterior.
Outdoor Patio or Dining Area
A stylish outdoor living space lets you make the most of your environment and scenery. An outdoor grill station makes it the perfect setting for hosting social gatherings. You might find that family mealtimes and chilled Sunday afternoons are significantly improved.
Another popular custom home trend is a raised patio that overlooks the garden landscape. Many homeowners connect their outside spaces to their internal living areas via sliding glass doors.
