Getting the opportunity to design and build your own home from scratch is amazing, but it can also feel like a daunting challenge. Trying to figure out the ideal floor plans for your new space may seem overwhelming, but fortunately, you don’t have to tackle this process alone.
Here at Wright Builders, we excel at helping you review your custom floor plans so that they perfectly match each of your precise wants, needs, and aesthetic preferences. Below, we’d like to review just a few key tips that we follow to help homeowners create properties that they’ll adore for many years to come.
- Consider functionality over aesthetics. Ask yourself a few questions about your family’s habits and routines. For instance, where do people tend to gather in your home? Do you enjoy entertaining guests frequently? How do you move from room to room during a typical day? Considering these key points will help you get a better idea of which rooms should go where.
- Connect rooms logically. You shouldn’t have to traipse through the living room to get from your dining table to the kitchen, but poorly connected floor plans can make this a reality. Be mindful about which rooms require which items and where different areas should logically flow together. For instance, the dining room and kitchen should either be conjoined or directly next to each other.
- Prioritize storage space from square one. One of the biggest problems that people experience with custom floor plans is that they overlook their storage needs. This can cause even the most beautiful homes to feel cluttered and disorganized. Adding in closets and built-in storage units can help keep your new home elegant and effortlessly clean.
