What makes a house a home? What makes my home feel truly “my own”? If you’re asking yourself these questions, it may be time for some custom living space updates. Not sure where to start? Here are a few project ideas from our custom building and remodeling contractors to get you inspired.
Personalized Corners and Nooks
The most beautiful home designs out there only go so far. You need to honor and celebrate what (and who) matters most throughout your living space. Creating and updating nooks and corners of your home with personal touches and nods to your hobbies and interests is a great start. This might include:
- Built-in shelves for family photos and memorabilia
- Window seats to encourage more cozy moments and quiet reflection
- Kid-friendly play spaces with storage they can easily, safely use
Starting with a nook is a great way to experience the benefits of home customization on a smaller scale, without committing to a large remodel or full custom build. The possibilities are endless, of course. Working with an expert custom remodeler means you personalize every room for you, your loved ones, and your furry friends.
More Functional Kitchens and Bathrooms
Sometimes wanting to travel (or eat out) more often isn’t just about wanderlust. It may be because you’re not really looking forward to using your own rooms. Cooking, entertaining, hosting, and generally staying at home isn’t as appealing if your rooms aren’t as functional as they could be. Home remodeling and customization can get you over that hump. And kitchen or bathroom upgrades are great places to start. Some things you might consider:
- How can I make my kitchen or bathroom look more spacious? Which modifications or updates can actually create more space?
- Can my loved ones with more mobility needs safely and comfortably use these rooms?
- Are my storage solutions, appliances, and fixtures making things easier or more difficult when using these rooms?
Indoor (and Outdoor) Retreats
You don’t need to leave home for recharging and restoration. It can happen in spaces designed for optimal comfort and relaxation. Maybe you’ve been dreaming of updating your primary bedroom. Maybe adding a library or a home gym would help you reach your lifestyle goals. Or maybe you’d like to spend more time outside.
Customizing an outdoor living space, like your patio, decking, or pool area, could be just what you need for your own personal oasis. Your home remodeling contractor can help you imagine what’s possible, and together we can create something beautiful.
