How to Choose the Right Layout for Your Custom Home
When it’s time to start planning your new construction, nothing is more exciting AND more overwhelming! With various options for layouts, it’s important to consider several things before you decide on a structural design to make sure it’s matching all your needs.
#1 Pick a Size
Start with size and go from there. Some might need a mansion while others might opt for a tiny home, which is why picking your size from the get-go substantially narrows your layout options.
#2 Do a Walkthrough of Your Current Home
This is a great time to take inventory of all the things you love in your home and all the things you could do without. Do you have enough storge space? Do you want an open concept? Do you dislike your split floor plan? Take notes and be precise.
#3 Think About Location
Your location has a huge impact on your layout. For example, if you are building in a rural area, you might want to devote more space for outdoor designs such as decks, patios and yards; whereas if you are building in a city, you might find ways to maximize your space with a suitable layout.
#4 Know Your Budget
Keeping track of your budget is important while creating your dream home. And while planning is (very) exciting it can often put blinders on when it comes to your financial budget. Make sure you are aware of the costs associated with the layout and add-ons you want so you aren’t hit with any financial surprises as the project finishes.
#5 Match Your Design Taste
Stay true to your design preferences as you decide on a layout. Whether you have a more modernistic vibe or a more traditional approach to interior design, picking the right layout will support your vision.
