Functional Room Ideas for Your Custom Home

Every homeowner dreams of a home designed just for them. That would contain all the space and rooms that meet every need and want. If you are having a custom home built, consider some of these functional room ideas before finalizing the architectural drawings.

Custom Home Builder Tips: Room Ideas

There are plenty of options to consider when deciding what types of rooms to include in your new home.

Private Home Office

If you're used to working from the dining room table or kitchen, now is the time to consider a separate home office where you can shut the door and work in a peaceful environment. Your work will be more productive when you have a quiet space away from the active areas of the house. Be sure to include plenty of room for work surfaces, cabinets, bookshelves, etc., to store supplies and reference materials required for your job.

Guest Suite

Have guests declined to stay in your home in the past? It may have been because they didn't want to sleep on the couch or on that tiny bed in the kid's room. Consider having a separate guest suite added to your new house plans. Soon you'll get to see more of your family when they have a comfortable place to stay in the house.

Home Gym

For people trying to stay fit, it's been frustrating over the past couple of years due to the pandemic – the gym was open, then it wasn't. So instead, opt for a gym inside your new house by a custom home builder. Now you can exercise from the comfort of your home without having to worry about an expiring gym membership or a gym that's shut down due to health regulations.

Home Theater Room

Formerly called a recreation room, a home theater room offers comfortable chairs and a big screen TV with great speakers. The entire family will be encouraged to join in for movie nights. Don't forget to include other couches or a few more comfy chairs if you want to invite guests over for a movie viewing.

Creativity Room

The entire family can use this room to work on arts and hobbies. There should be a large worktable or bench to work on projects. Add some cupboards for storage of arts and crafts supplies. Don't forget some chairs or stools so you can sit while working. Keep some wall space free so that you can have plenty of room to hang up your family's finished projects.
