Top 10 Must-Have Amenities for Your New Custom Home
You’re free to create an oasis from the outside world, and the only limitations are your budget and your own imagination!
Building a custom home has a ton of perks – after all, you’re designing a home to perfectly fit you and your lifestyle. You’re free to create an oasis from the outside world, and the only limitations you’ll see are your budget and your own imagination! In addition to designing the floorplan, building out space for the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and seeing how it all fits neatly on your plot of land, there are some amenities you can consider adding in order to make this dream home truly one-of-a-kind.
Smart Home Automation
There is nothing more convenient (and fun!) you can add to a home than smart technology. Whether you decide to install motion activated lights, have a security system that seamlessly connects with your smartphone, or a voice-activated helper like Alexa or Google Home to coordinate things, smart home automation is a must-have in any home!
Heated Floors
What could be more heavenly than waking up on a chilly morning and placing your cold feet on a warm floor? Radiant floors in bathrooms are quite popular in custom builds, but what about going a step further and installing them in other areas like basements and kitchens? No cold feet in your home!
Home Office
It’s hardly shocking that a home office is becoming less of a “wish list” item and more of a need – since COVID-19 has forced many to work from home, a comfortable and quiet office space is essential to separate home life from work life. Why not upgrade this office space to help productivity as much as possible, all while putting your own personal touch on it!
Wine Cellar
For those who have a thirsty palate, a wine cellar can be a decadent addition to any home. These temperature-controlled rooms with vast amounts of wine storage racks and space for intimate gatherings or tastings is a classic way to showcase your growing collection.
Solar Panels
This amenity is both a great investment into reducing your home’s carbon footprint and a way to save on utilities! Millennial homebuyers are especially concerned with ways to live in an environmentally friendly way, so they often use sustainable materials and select energy-efficient appliance choices.
At-Home Spa
Go beyond a typical master bathroom and create the at-home spa of your dreams! Unlike the typical jacuzzi tub and rain shower, you can now upgrade your space to include heated saunas, steam rooms, and much more! Have an oasis to relax and unwind in without ever needing to leave your home.
Personal Gym
Another essential amenity trend that has started to emerge in 2020 is the home gym, largely in part because the pandemic closed workout facilities across the country and people had to become creative with their fitness plans. Now, many are opting to continue the workout-from-home trend, and are investing in state-of-the-art equipment and free weights to be non-reliant on other facilities.
State-of-the-Art Home Theater
Who doesn’t want to watch movies from the comfort of their own home but with a true movie theater experience? Comfortable seating, large projector screens, and a sound-proof space is invaluable for all members of the home, especially if it can be used for gaming and other social gatherings.
Next Level Pool
More than just your average pool, this new “fire and water feature” trend integrates an outdoor pool with a firepit feature, so you can relax in your own “lazy river” while enjoying the warmth of a fire!
Guest House
Perhaps one of the most luxurious and practical amenities to consider for your new custom home is a guest house. You can easily host family and friends, rent the space out to Airbnb or to a long-term renter, and it ups your overall property value, significantly!
Building a custom home at first can seem overwhelming – but by the time you’re considering what fun amenities to add to your space, you’ll find just how rewarding the entire process is. So why not streamline the process from start to finish with Atmos Home Concierge? Find out how it works, today!
