While a lot of people designing their new custom home refer to it as their “dream home,” or even more their “forever home,” resale value is never something to ignore when choosing your distinctive features. One of the biggest key features in adding value to your custom home build is anything energy-efficient, such as energy-efficient windows and energy-efficient appliances. 

Windows allow you to enjoy the view of the beautiful outdoors, as well as absorb the natural light into your home. Adding energy-efficient features also make a big impact on reducing the cost of your utility bills.

 

Enhancing Your Custom Home: Kitchen Upgrades

Being seen as the central feature of a home, the kitchen is another great place to start and invest your money. The best features that you can add to your kitchen are ones that make cooking easier and more enjoyable. One feature that achieves the goal of making cooking easier is a pot filler. With the use of a pot filler, it makes it easy to fill your pots at the stove and keep your countertops open for preparation of food. Professional grade, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops are always a great addition.

Many people in the process of designing their own homes tend to want more and more space. So, to allow for more function to your kitchen, go for including a walk-in pantry, more storage cabinets and large countertop space. These elements allow the owner to use this space to customize their own habits. Incorporating statement backsplashes, sinks with depth and elegant lighting fixtures also give so much character to your space.

 

Key Factors in Custom Homes: Efficiency and Comfort

Similar to kitchen areas, most people have a want and need for spacious living when it comes to a good laundry room. Furthermore, placing it on the main level of your home is ideal. No one wants to have to travel up and down stairs carrying heavy loads of laundry. The presence of a folding table, sink or hanging line for delicate clothing would be very functional.

Each and every family needs clean clothing and having a generous amount of space to do laundry instantly adds value. Like mentioned above, opting in for anything energy-efficient is a smart move. With that in mind, front-loading washing machines are a great choice to incorporate into your custom laundry room. In comparison to a top-loading washing machine, front-loading washing machines are known to clean your clothes better, use less water and overall, be more energy-efficient.

 

Instant Value: Bathroom Renovations for Custom Homes

Bathrooms are another great place to invest your money. Being the focal point of the bathroom, a stand alone tub creates a statement and impacts a home’s value tremendously. Stand alone tubs are popular for custom home builds due to the fact that they look good and give a sense of luxury. 

A lot of homeowners prefer to have a separate bathtub and shower in the master bathroom so a walk-in shower is also a nice option. Double sink vanities are just another great addition to a master bathroom. A double sink option is ideal for couples who desire their own personal space in the bathroom.
