Whether you have just started a new journey together with your partner or have a young family with small children, creating a custom home built to your requirements is a dream come true. However, designing a house that is made keeping your lifestyle and future in mind can sometimes feel like a challenge too. With the right builder, however, this doesn’t necessarily have to be an overwhelming process.
All you need to do is ask yourself some important questions, discuss your needs and preferences with your trusted builder and begin the journey towards getting your dream home started.
Some of the questions you can ask yourself when planning a custom-built home are:
From our decades of experience at Fretwell Homes, here are some helpful points to consider when planning to build your custom home:
Connection and Privacy
A growing family means busy lives, especially when toddlers grow into teenagers. It’s important for a family to have quality time interacting and socializing together, but it is equally essential to have pockets of private areas for everyone, whether for work, unwinding or entertaining guests. At Fretwell Homes, our open floor designs make it easy for a home to have openness and fluidity, yet at the same time, provide family members with their private nooks as well.
Flex Rooms
A family evolves as it grows, and so does their home. A flex room can be used for multiple purposes and can change according to the family’s requirements. Whether it started off as a children’s playroom or a teenager’s a gaming zone, a flex room could easily be turned into a home office or a study as well if the need arises.
Storage
As your family becomes larger, your belongings increase as well. Books, toys, sports equipment, clothes, memorabilia, and countless other items begin to accumulate over the years. It would be a mistake to overlook the importance of this aspect. Without practical storage options, you might always have clutter around your home, making it difficult to clean up and maintain order.
Our builders at Fretwell Homes know the importance of storage options and can help you decide how much space to dedicate to organizing and storing your belongings, using cabinets, closets, and shelving options.
Outdoor Space
Your outdoor living space is yet another spot that needs to be planned carefully and creatively. From your landscaping dreams to your entertaining and relaxing requirements, our team at Fretwell Homes can design and build this area according to your preferences.
