Hello World! Welcome Friends! Aside from buying a car, a custom-built home for you and your family is perhaps one of the most important investments you’ll make in your life. Because a custom-built home will require time and a lot of money, you need to make sure that what you’re building doesn’t only fit the needs of the entire household, but it should also be something that aligns with the trends today.
Choosing what trend to follow for custom build homes can be time-consuming and stressful if you don’t know where to start. You’ll have to balance the functionality and aesthetics of your home, while following a certain budget. To make this process easier for you, here are some of the latest trends in custom-built homes:
1. Minimalism and simplicity
Gone are the days when you have to fill your home with the most innovative appliances and furniture just to make it unique. Today, less is more when it comes to custom-built homes. This design basically combines functionality with basic and good aesthetics. If you want to follow this trend for your custom-build home, pay attention to the following tips:
- Declutter your space: One of the reasons why most homeowners would opt to follow a minimalist and simple trend is because it doesn’t require too much cost from their pocket. For you to achieve a minimalist home, you can start by decluttering your space. This means going through all the areas of your home, assessing which items are still usable, and properly disposing of damaged items.
- Eliminate most of your decorations: As the name suggests, you don’t need a lot of things in order to achieve simplicity and minimalism. On the contrary, you need to let go of several items to make your home cleaner and sleeker. Although it can be hard, you should let go of items that don’t impact your life on a daily basis.
- Reorganize for good: Make use of different organization systems available on the market today. Regardless of whether you have a spacious or small home, there will always be an organization idea suitable to your space. You’ll be surprised how organization can make your home look and feel luxurious!
2. Monochromatic schemes
You’ll be spending most of your time at home, which is why you should build something that has a relaxing ambiance. Everything in your home—from the theme down to the decor—should compliment each other in order to create harmony. For you to achieve this goal, consider following a monochromatic scheme for your custom-built home. This design trend is effortless because you don’t have to spend so much time deciding what specific color goes where. To paint a clearer picture of how simple a monochromatic color scheme is, take note of the following:
- Think small: If this is your first time to design a home, start small. Work on achieving a monochromatic scheme in your bathroom first before going to the living or dining area. Starting small allows you to determine which interior design strategies you should retain or omit.
- Think about texture: In its simplest terms, a monochromatic scheme is about using one color in a specific room. If you don’t want your bedroom to look dull in an all-blue motif, incorporate texture. You can start by using a linen bedspread with a wooden headboard.
- Consider choosing subtle shades: If you’re scared of having a home that has too many colors, opt to use the lightest shade of the spectrum for your walls. For example, if you’re planning to use pink in your living area, look for the lightest hue of pink available. This is the safest way of following a monochromatic scheme without going overboard.
3. Healthy homes
As they say, “health is wealth.” No matter how busy you are at work, you should always find the time to take care of your health. After all, being rich will be useless if you don’t have the energy to enjoy the rewards of your hard work. If you want your home to embody this maxim, create a healthy home. Here’s how you can do it:
- Let natural light in: Natural light can provide a lot of benefits to your health and home. It can improve your productivity, increase your energy levels, and help you cut down on energy bills. Maximize natural light in your home by installing as many windows as you can.
- Go green and save: You can now use materials for your home that are environment-friendly. Using these materials will not only help conserve the environment, but it can also keep you healthy as these materials can provide better air quality.
- Get more plants: Everyone knows how beneficial plants are. Once used indoors, these plants can add a pop of color while improving the air flow of your home.
Work With The Pros
Once you’ve already decided what design to use for your custom-built home, start looking for contractors. Make sure that you scout for options and hire people who have years of experience in the industry. Hiring them might require you to break the bank but think of it this way: hiring the most reputable contractors in the home-building industry can guarantee that you’ll be able to have a custom-built home that meets your expectations—and even exceed them.
