There are many amenities to consider when building a new home. The amenities are designed to create a luxurious but functional space, which can increase the value of your home if you decide to sell it. Here are several amenities to consider when building your custom home.

Open Floor Plan

Open floor plans are becoming very popular among homeowners. The layout uses partitions, screens, internal windows and split levels instead of walls. Opting for this floor plan creates an airy feeling and allows the light to shine through your home. You can even find a balance between an open concept and separate rooms.

Commercial Kitchen

Your kitchen is where you prepare meals, pack lunches and entertain guests. Use amenities such as warming drawers and wine refrigerators to make mealtime an enjoyable experience. The walk-in pantry makes it easier to grab quick snacks, and the double dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze.

Spa Bathroom

A spa bathroom is the perfect place to relax after a long day, and the right amenities can turn an ordinary bathroom into your sanctuary. Your bathroom may include a freestanding bathtub, separate shower and shower jets. Do not forget a plush rug in front of your tub.

Dressing Room

A dressing room is becoming a popular feature in most modern homes. Your dressing room may include a cushioned bench, ample lighting and mirrors. You also want to make sure there is plenty of space to dress and display your wardrobe.

Home Office

If you are like many other homeowners, you are looking to create an office in your home. Your home office allows you to work on important projects or hobbies without being interrupted. You can even opt for a split level layout to separate your office from the rest of your home.

Modern Technology

Modern technology has become a huge trend in many homes, and the technology is not limited to security and surround sound systems. There are many wireless tools that allow you to control your thermostat, shower, television and security system with your smartphone.

Outdoor Pool and Kitchen

It never hurts to create an outdoor area for relaxing and entertaining. Your outdoor area may include a spacious pool with a luxurious waterfall, or you may want a hot tub for those cooler evenings. You can also add a cabana or pool house to your outdoor area.

If you love cookouts and parties, you may enjoy an outdoor kitchen. Your outdoor kitchen includes more than just a built-in gas grill and cozy seating. It also includes a sink, small refrigerator and stainless steel prep area.

Wine Cellar

If you are a wine enthusiast, a built-in wine cellar is just the amenity for you. Your wine cellar features the right climate for your bottles and their labels. Use wine racks to organize your bottles by occasion and proudly display your collection.
