While it is important to consider the little things like paint or tiles, the design along with the layout and shape of your home will play a much larger role in your enjoyment of your new space. Taking some time and thinking about these concepts can make all the difference.

Here are 4 factors you must consider when customising your home to get it done right:

Your Future

It is important to design a home that is flexible enough to grow with you! Whether it be adding in an extra bedroom (just in case) or creating a home to be more ‘livable’ as life’s circumstances change.

Will your home layout allocate the space, storage, and privacy you may require if your house becomes fuller? Whatever your future circumstances may be, it is a great idea to incorporate designs that could be useful in years to come!

Prioritise 

This may seem like an obvious step to some, but others may find it a bit overwhelming and tricky to prioritise important features of their home.

Start off by listing some answers to the following questions:

• How do you want your new home to feel?
  Warm and inviting, spacious and clean, creative, and inspiring…
• How do you enjoy spending your time at home?

Cooking, entertaining, reading, or spending time outside of the house?

• How will your home cater to your family’s lifestyle?
  Think of the stage of life your family is in and build your home to support that life stage. Your growing family needs a big kitchen, outdoor space for play, a mudroom area to clean up at the end of the day, and easily accessible storage in every room.

Be sure to express your priorities during your first consultation to get the most out of your home design.

Budget

It is easy to get carried away when designing your dream home! That’s why it is important to look at your budget as an investment you are making in your future home. Focus on ways you can add value to your life through your home design choices.
Allow wiggle room where possible and keep in mind you can shift your budget around a bit - if you happen to go over budget in one area, compromise by going under budget in another (If you choose to upgrade for larger windows, consider more affordable floor coverings, or even DIY them, etc.)

Current Trends

We love to see clients introduce current trends into their homes! Although, they are called 'trends' for a reason; they will most likely come and go, and so does your taste.

When it comes to designing your forever home is to do some research and investigate what ‘trends’ have stood the test of time. Design choices such as subway tiles, white kitchens, and light-neutral walls have all proven to be timeless and safe options. You can always bring in current trends through décor and some more easily modifiable options down the track. 

In Conclusion

Enjoy the process! Creating your specially made home should be a fun and memorable experience. You will be amazed how your home will come together as you plan it to be uniquely yours.
