How Can I Really Make My Home Feel Custom?

Who would have thought that a time would come when people from all over the world would have to stay in their homes for several months? But all that happened last year and reminded us that the state of our home matters.

Homeowners are responding to the strong urge for custom home construction. Most people have seen that making personal choices for custom layouts, doors, windows, staircases, etc., can make a huge difference. Here are some of the best go-to tips you can use to update and customize your home.

Custom Home Construction: Unique Details

Lighting

Most people never change the basic light fixtures that the home builder installed. However, updating the lighting in your home can transform its ambiance in a very significant way. You can choose between getting a lighting control system, indirect lighting (such as sconce or wall lighting), and overhead lighting (such as recessed cans). These options will give your home a unique and undeniable upgrade.

Detailing Of Your Ceiling

Custom home ceilings are a unique addition to any home; consider it when planning your custom home construction. First, of course, painting the ceiling will make a huge difference. However, to give it a more custom feel, you may want to add unique trim detailing, solid or boxed beams with essential design elements in defined areas of the ceiling. Fortunately, ceiling detailing is not a very costly undertaking and is always worth the investment.

Kitchen Upgrade

The kitchen is an essential part of your home. Updating its features can add the feel of a truly custom home. During your custom home construction, give adequate attention to the kitchen; it's the heart of your home and where you'll be spending lots of time.

Consider replacing the countertops, backsplash, or flooring for a dramatic change. These changes are relatively inexpensive. For an even bigger custom impression - change the cabinets either by installing new ones or refacing the old ones. In all, let your custom kitchen reflect your style and preferences in beauty, functionality, and comfort.

Wall Detailing

Consider using wallpapers, custom paneling, and eccentric paint colors or designs to infuse your personality on your walls. Wall detailing can be as cheap as a couple of gallons of paint or very expensive depending on the wallpaper or fancy detailing desired. The change can be subtle or dramatic - it's all up to you.

Staircase

If you've always had a builder-standard staircase, now is a great time to consider adding a stylish railing, trimmed risers, or trim detailing. Maybe add a new and rich color to the stair hall for a complete glamorous look.
