Six Current Trends In Custom Home Design

The opportunity to implement custom home features is incredibly exciting. Whether your home is being built from scratch or undergoing significant renovations, customizing your living space gives you a heightened degree of control over your environment and the ability to create the home of your dreams.

Homeowners can choose many different directions when adding unique features to their properties. Here are six custom home features that are currently trending.

Open-Concept Kitchen & Dining Room

The open-concept design is not going out of style. People appreciate its advantages, including the more cohesive floor plan and easier room-to-room communication and connection.

Embedded Smart Technology

When designing from scratch, many homeowners add smart technology features to their custom residences. Smart technology allows residents to control various aspects of their home virtually, from heating, locks, and lighting to speakers and shades.

Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor spaces are essential components of home design. Entertaining outside is very popular, particularly during the summer months, and as a result, many homeowners have decided to add an outdoor kitchen. These are functioning kitchens in a back or front yard, typically including seating, a barbecue, and refrigerator. Outdoor kitchens are not only popular hosting venues, but they also add to a backyard’s aesthetic appeal. Not surprisingly, this trend is prevalent in warm-weather areas.

Heated Flooring

In colder environments, homes can feel frigid in the winter, even with a strong central heating system. Floors especially get very chilly, which is why heated flooring has become a popular custom home feature. Many homeowners typically choose to install heated flooring systems in washrooms and kitchens, making their otherwise chilly floors much more comfortable.

Mudrooms

Another popular trend is the inclusion of a mudroom, which is a secondary entrance where people can remove their shoes and jackets and clean up after their time outdoors. They often double as a storage area for outerwear, usually including benches and hooks, and are commonly situated by the front, back, or garage entrances. These popular additions are something homeowners with young children and/or pets prioritize to help maintain a clean home.

Dedicated Home Office

Working from home has led to an increased need for home office spaces. Many homeowners prioritize efficient and comfortable office spaces with customizations, such as soundproofing, stand-up desks, and other flourishes that help create a productive environment within their home.
