When you’re building a custom home, anything is possible. Yes – ANYTHING!
Think about that tile you want in the bathroom. The appliances you’ve always wished for. The finished laundry room. A floorplan that makes sense.
If you’re starting to plan your custom home build, it’s time to dig deep into your dreams and remember everything you’ve always wanted. And if you need some inspiration, we’ve got you covered.
The Kitchen
The Kitchen is the heart of the home, the heart of your family. If you host family dinners, love cooking or baking, or just need more space, there are so many features you can add that improve your quality of life.
- Outlets EVERYWHERE!
- On the stove, in the drawers, under the cabinets – anywhere you could possibly need an outlet, you’ve got it.
- Built-in Appliances
- Better than outlets – appliances built right in! Hide your stand mixer or blender in the cabinetry for easy storage and easier access.
- Built-in waste bins
- Speaking of built-in, hiding your trash in a sliding cupboard door means you don’t have to worry about where to put your bins or cramming them into the already-cramped sink cupboard.
- Pantry
- Walk-in pantry, sliding drawers, bigger shelves, smaller shelves. There are so many ways to customize your pantry. Put some thought into it!
- Pot filler attachment
- Your custom home is built to work for you, so why not make it accessible! Pot filler attachments right above the stove make cooking a breeze.
The Mudroom
The Mudroom is one of the best rooms you can add to your house. Having a dedicated space in your home for outdoor gear can help reduce mess around the house. Here are some ways to make the most of it!
- Combine the Mudroom and Laundry Room
- Toss dirty sports gear in the wash as soon as you get home, or grab a jacket from the dryer on the way out. It can be a convenient time saver, or just one less room to worry about cleaning.
- Add locker storage
- Stay organized with dedicated lockers! Have a space for each season, each sport, or give your kids a locker to store their backpacks and snow pants after school.
- Add a “Costco Door”
- Costco doors have won over the internet-DIYer community this past year. Make grocery day easier with a door that goes from your garage or mudroom right into your pantry for easy storage! As small as a cat door or a full-sized door – it’s up to you!
Around the House
- Storage, storage, storage!
- Easy and convenient storage makes life easier AND mess free. Ask us how to optimize storage options around your custom home!
- Recreation Room
- The options for home entertainment are virtually endless. Add a theatre room or game room. Create at at-home arcade. Indoor hockey. Pool table. Tell us your favourite way to play, and we’ll make it happen!
- Floor Plan
- Your floor plan can make or break the comfort of your home. Consider windows and natural light; room proximity; do you like open concept, or do you prefer separated rooms?
- Smart Home Technology
- Say goodbye to carrying keys or worrying if you locked the door, and say hello to smart locks. Keep your home with a quick tap on your phone, wherever you are.
- Add charging stations around the house. Install outlets with c-plugs, or add wireless charging to any surface!
- Wireless thermostats, ring door bells, Bluetooth speakers… the list goes on!
