When people hear the term custom build, they think of extravagant mansions and enormous estates. But building a custom home doesn’t automatically mean a huge manor with dozens of rooms; however, even if you’re interested in building a more modest home, that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on a little bit of luxury.
Here are just a few of the great luxury add-ons you can include in your custom build – and best of all, they won’t break the bank!
No Cold Feet Here
Luxury item number one? Radiant floor heating. The most popular – and energy efficient – method of implementing this innovative heating system throughout a whole home uses flexible tubing connected to a boiler or water heater. Pumps deliver heated water to tubes throughout the house, warming the floor underfoot to a comfortable temperature. Heat then rises and warms the air in the room also, keeping a constantly comfortable temperature for an extremely efficient output of energy.
In-Home Entertainment
Game and theater rooms are a great addition to any home, and they aren’t just a Hollywood dream anymore. Whether you want fixed seating or something a little more flexible, it’s possible to outfit a home theater room relatively inexpensively. And rather than opting for a standard big screen television, consider a projector and retractable screen. Doing so will lower the space requirements while simultaneously allowing the room to be multipurpose in the event that you want to utilize the space for something other than watching movies.
Every Day is a Spa Day
Nothing says luxury like a day at the spa – so why not bring that feeling of indulgence into the comfort of your own home? Creating a spa bathroom – in a master en suite or a standalone – can help recreate the extravagance of a relaxing spa visit that you can enjoy every day. Huge walk-in showers with head-to-toe water jets, towel warmers, and a huge soaker tub can make all the difference in the world when it comes to making your bathroom feel like a retreat from the worries outside your home.
His & Hers
When it comes to day-to-day living, one common cause of frustration might be sharing a small space with someone else when you’re running late or tired, and just trying to get ready and get out the door. The concept of “His & Hers” isn’t a new one, but it is something you can consider for your home. Vanities with two sinks can make your morning routine feel a little less crowded. His and Hers closets in the master bedroom can also make a big difference when you’re trying to grab and go.
