Home Builders: 3 Features to Include in Your Custom Home Building Plan

Your custom home is your unique personal castle. Everything from layout to design finishes and everything in between reflects your preferences, lifestyle, and personality.

That said, although a custom home presents the perfect opportunity to explore your creativity, it is often daunting, especially if this is your first home to build. It can be time-consuming, and you are often faced with a multitude of decisions, from planning to building and customising. Luckily with the right team of home builders, you are sure all procedures will be followed and avoid pitfalls for a smooth residential project. 

Here are three unique custom features you can include in your custom home to help you achieve your dream home. 

Outdoor Living Space 

Given the favourable Australian weather, a custom build home is never complete without a beautiful outdoor living space. Beyond the usual swimming pool, patio or grill, most homeowners are increasingly exploring outdoor spaces to include entire kitchens, fire pits, TV areas, dining spaces, custom water pods and more. 

Outdoor living spaces offer endless possibilities for custom designs that can be turned into a reality. Your space can be customised to allow you the same functionality as your indoor space for seamless indoor and outdoor living. 

Cosy Nooks 

Whether it's a breakfast nook, a bar nook or a reading nook next to your windows, nooks make the most of small spaces and add a striking design flair that is hard to achieve with other pieces of furniture.

Nooks are warm, cosy, inviting and comforting. They also come in all shapes and sizes, making them the perfect design element for awkward corners or quirky spaces in your home. They add a unique charm to your home, all while serving functional purposes based on your needs. Make sure to collaborate with your home builders to achieve a nook style, layout and design that fit in with the rest of your home. 

Custom Garage 

While a two-car or three-car garage is standard in most modern homes, you can make the garage more spacious to accommodate more than just cars. A spacious custom garage can be anything from a game room, the ultimate man cave, a spacious workstation, and a storage room, to an extra bedroom and more. The trick is to think of your garage beyond the essential purpose to create a space that truly enhances your lifestyle.
