Three Things To Think About When Planning A Home

Since Custom Smart Homes uses modular home building methods, some people think that they don’t need to do much planning for their home design.  You can easily choose any of the custom home plans, but it’s still important to think about your home’s layout so that you can properly plan it.  If you’re looking over our floor plans, think about these factors before you decide on one.

Think About Privacy

Whether you’re an open book or you enjoy your privacy, your feelings about personal space should factor into your home design.  Have you always envisioned building a house with an open floor plan, or do you like to have some walls up so that you can have your privacy?  Do you have young children that you need to check up on frequently, or do you have older teens that need their privacy?  

Think About Company

If you’re a social butter fly, you’ll want to design your home so that it’ll be ideal for entertaining others and have enough space to accommodate everyone.  If you like throwing parties, you may want to have more of an open floor design so that guests have plenty of room to mingle and explore their surroundings.  You should also consider building a few guest rooms so that friends that live far away will have a place to stay when they come visit.

Think About Stories

Multistory homes are common, but that doesn’t mean that your home has to have multiple stories.  Each home style has its own unique elements.  Many single story homes tend to have more “public” rooms like the kitchen and family room in the middle, and has bedrooms located on the end of the home.  Multistory homes can give you a nice view of the neighborhood instead of your neighbor’s kitchen window, and some find that it’s easier to maintain separate stories.
