Starting With a Customized Floorplan
When thinking about a custom home, it’s easy to begin with the details such as flooring material and cabinetry. What may not be at the forefront of your mind is how to customize your new home’s floorplan so that it is functional for your family. Starting with a customized floorplan is at the core of building a custom home because it will determine the shape and layout of your home overall.
There are several ways to think about a custom floorplan, including the way your home will sit most naturally on your property, how entries and exits will be affected, and the flow of traffic inside your home. Whether you are adding multiple stories or need to include a larger garage, you’ll want your floorplan to incorporate the details that are most important to you, so your builder can bring them to life.
One of the best ways to successfully create a custom floorplan is to make a list of your wants and needs, so you can more accurately communicate with your designer. If they know that your mother-in-law-suite needs to be on the opposite side of the house from the rest of your family, they can more easily incorporate this at the beginning of the planning stages. Establishing your must-haves early on will only make the building process go more smoothly.
You can also ask your designer or builder about the best way to establish a solid custom floorplan as you begin to think about what you want in your new home. After all, you should love the space you’re in with your new custom home.
