Working with a custom home builder can help you create the home of your dreams. You may have already considered the major details, but what about the smaller details?
These are the “must-haves” when building a new home. This updated list contains a mix of smaller features that make your home more comfortable and more important design considerations that will make it more attractive, low-maintenance and more efficient.
1. “COSTCO DOORS” & AMAZON PACKAGE SPACES
Costco Doors are small doors that go from the garage to your pantry. They’re a viral phenomenon that leaves you wondering, “Why didn’t I think that?” These small, fireproof door makes it easy to unload large grocery carts. Delivery lockboxes are becoming more popular due to the rise in grocery delivery services.
2. SECOND FLOOR AND EN SUITE LAUNDRY ROOMS
You no longer need to haul dirty laundry from one place to another. Consider a laundry room on the main level if your master bedroom is located on the main floor. Consider putting a small laundry room on the second level for kids who will need to load up quick loads.
3. MUD ROOMS WITH DOG WAS STATIONS
A mudroom is essential for anyone who has children or pets. A mudroom should be located near the back door. It should have towel hangers, shoe storage and a small shower/drain with a hand-held sprayer. You can ensure that wet dogs and muddy shoes are properly dried by placing everything right next to the door. This will help protect your home from dirt and tracked-in dirt. This is one of the most important things to have when building a home. It’s a must-have for all families, whether you have pets or children.
4. UNDER-CABINET OUTLETS
You’re likely to spend a lot of time and money on a kitchen backsplash. Why not make it even more beautiful by adding outlets? Ask your Myrtle Beach custom home builder to install electrical outlets underneath the cabinets. This will keep them hidden from view but still make it easy to plug in appliances.
5. SPONGE STORAGE DAWER
This simple feature will make a big difference in the appearance of your kitchen. Flip the cover of your decorative drawer under your sink to store sponges. You’ll find that your sink is free from soggy sponge clutter, and that you can make use of space previously wasted.
6. MEDIA CONNECTIONS & OUTDOOR OUTLETS
You will be glad you planned ahead to install plenty of outdoor outlets that are easily accessible if you intend on using power tools, outdoor appliances, and decorations that require plugs. You can forget about the long, tangled extension cables that cause trip hazards and create a bright-orange, unattractive line in your yard. You can install outdoor lighting easily and do your projects outdoors with less effort by using numerous outlets.
7. BUILT-IN SPEAKERS
Let the music play! Talk to your custom home builder in Myrtle Beach if you know exactly where you want the sound system and entertainment centre to be placed. This will save you valuable wall or floor space, and give you the option of filling your home with music.
8. BATHROOM DRAWERS WITH OUTLETS
Eliminate bathroom clutter before it gets worse. A bathroom drawer can be used to store personal care items such as hair straighteners, electric razors, and hair straighteners. You also have power outlets. This will save you the hassle of untangling power cables every time you use an appliance. It will also make it easier to keep your sink free of charging stations.
9. DEEP KITCHEN DRAWERS
How many times have the matching storage lids disappeared into deep kitchen cabinets? Or were you forced to crawl to the back of an under-counter cabinet to find the lid? These problems can be solved by replacing deep cabinets with deep drawers. Your back and knees will be grateful that you are able to easily see and reach the kitchen items.
10. TRASH AND RECYCLING CHUTES
Are you tired of fighting over trash collection? Let the trash do its job. Ask your custom home builder whether it is possible to install trash and recycling chutes inside the kitchen. These can be connected to outside bins or to the garage. There will be no more fish stains in the kitchen and soda cans that attract ants.
