4 Must-Have Features for Your Custom Home

When building a custom home, it is essential to incorporate specific elements you appreciate to enhance your well-being and showcase your personality. Before starting the project, you must list the features you wish to include in 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. Here are some must-have features you can incorporate into your custom home.

Open Floor Plan

You may want to consider an expansive floor plan serving many purposes. Increasing square footage opens the home, adds value, and creates an elevated experience. Open floor plans curate an easy flow through the home as you travel from room to room. Incorporate luxury furniture, high-end finishings, and ornate decor to enhance each space and fill it with personality and charm.

Smart Home Technology

A ‘Smart Home’ is a convenient home setup where you can control appliances, media systems, temperature, fireplaces, and other features remotely from anywhere using internet-connected mobile devices. Other examples of smart home tech include automated window shades and curtains, which can be programmed to open and close at certain times of the day and night, Bluetooth speakers, and peace-of-mind security. HVAC systems and smart thermostats can use machine learning to adapt the home to your habits and preferences. Smart tech can also include voice-activated lighting, TVs, and appliances that can be managed from your smartphone. 

Natural Lighting

Natural light in any building has many benefits, from health to aesthetics. First, it can improve circadian rhythm, the balance of energy, and sleep hormones. It can also make it easier to fall asleep at night and improve your overall well-being. 

In addition, natural light can make your home more appealing to potential buyers and increase its value. If you sell your home during an open house, many buyers will be drawn to a home with good natural light. Natural light will also decrease your energy bill because you won’t need to keep on the overhead lights throughout the day. 

Outdoor Living Spaces

Most homeowners will sacrifice a lot to have a large patio or outdoor living space. Whether you want this in the front of your house, the backyard, or both, it’ll add great value to your home and life. Outdoor living spaces create the perfect space to host and entertain friends and family. Additionally, they give you a new place to retreat and lie down for some much-needed time.

Depending on your budget, these multi-purpose outdoor spaces can vary greatly in price. The materials, size, and your choice of custom home builder will determine the price. Many homeowners opt for a screened-in patio for a more closed-in space. Check your budget before committing to a screen in the patio because it can be a complex project, which means a higher price of materials.
