07 Feb How to Decide on the Layout of Your New Custom Home

Determining the layout of your new custom home is one of the most important steps in achieving your dream home.

You may have created a success board, with images of rooms that you love. You may have created a list of “must haves” for your new home. These are excellent planning steps. Working these features, design ideas and “must have’s” into the layout of you house plan is key to achieving your dream home vision. Here are some things you will need to consider as you meet with your builder on your new home layout:

1. How many members of your family will live in the home?
2. Are you planning family growth?
3. Will you need a “guest” bedroom? What about a mother-in-law suite?
4. Will you have out of town visitors?
5. Do you want the master bedroom separated from the other side of the home?
6. How many bathrooms will you need?
7. Will you need a pool bath?
8. Do you want a media room?
9. Do you like to entertain?
10. Will you want an open kitchen with an adjoining bar?
11. Do you want a walk-in pantry?
12. Do you love to BBQ?
13. Will you need an outdoor kitchen and living space?
14. Will you want an outdoor firepit and seating for gatherings.

As you can see, the options are virtually endless. Consider this list above and what the flow in your home layout will require to meet the answers to these (and other) questions related to your home layout.

Getting this right is why you choose to build a custom home. Selecting the right builder to help you develop the layout and achieve your vision requires choosing the right custom home builder.
