This article provides helpful methods for maximizing the space in your custom home.
Most homes used to have the standard and traditional layout of individual rooms attached by a primary hallway. Each room was closed off from the others and separately defined. Today, more people are searching for a more open and spacious home layout that offers a sense of airiness, openness, and brightness. This article provides helpful methods for maximizing the space in your custom home.
Open-Concept Home Layouts
Today’s custom homes have some open-concept layouts. Regardless of your preferred style, you will find an open floor plan to meet your needs. Robin Ford Builders has an excellent selection of custom home plans that you can modify to your heart’s delight. The open layout could effortlessly balance living, dining, and cooking areas.
Include Bonus Custom Home Rooms
Rather than forming designated rooms for a specific purpose, such as a dining room or office, you may include bonus rooms throughout the house to utilize for whatever you want. A bonus room is a genuine blank slate that allows homeowners to convert it into whatever they want. Some might convert theirs into a gym, work-from-home office, or even an at-home schoolroom.
Consider Flexible Rooms
Similar to a bonus room, a flex room is an area that serves more than one primary purpose. For instance, one might merge a hobby room with a laundry room or your den with your playroom for the children. Or people often combine the home office with a guest bedroom. Overall, combining several purposes into one primary space gives your home a much greater sense of space and purpose.
Higher Ceilings
Higher ceilings are a design element that produces more spacious custom home areas. Each Robin Ford Builders home has high ceilings personalized to your liking on every floor, but you can raise the ceiling in one or more rooms for a better sense of airiness.
Larger Windows
Your custom home architect can place windows so you can receive the most sunlight indoors and the best views outdoors. Larger windows in certain areas of your custom home, like your living rooms and bedrooms, will generate a better sense of openness to the outdoors and, therefore, a much bigger space.
