Designing your own home is one of the most difficult things to do when planning to build your own house. Although there are plenty of building designs, Gold Coast builders still recommend customizing your home design to make it unique and memorable.
Here are some of the important considerations when it comes to designing your own home:
Bathrooms and closets – Determine how many people will live in your house. But this does not mean that the number of persons who will live in such house is similar with the number of bathrooms to be built. It is wise to have more than one bathroom. It is also a great idea to size the bathroom accordingly. Similarly, determine also if you have plenty of clothes or perhaps if you prefer to have a walk-in closet – this will help you on designing your closets.
Bedrooms – Would you use your bedroom just for sleeping and dressing or would you like to spend time in there at anytime of the day? This is very important because this will determine the size of your room. Of course, if you want to spend time in there, you have to have a larger room having a sitting area and table or any other items. You always have to make sure that there is a plenty of room to walk around the bed along with the other furniture. And in case you have children, be sure that their rooms are big enough for them to spend time in during the day.
Main living areas – Would you spend a lot of time in the main living areas like the kitchen, dining room and living room? It is also a great idea to have an open area with all these three locations. And if you are considering of spending your time in your home office and would want to be involved in the other goings on of your home, consider placing your home office near the main living areas. However, if you want to have a quiet home office, place it in another part of the house.
Height of the ceiling – Know that high ceilings can make a huge statement however, they may cost more and will not work for small rooms. If you would want to have a cozy spaces, lower ceilings might be a better option. But you have to remember that if the room is huge, a low ceiling can make it claustrophobic.
Another thing to consider is the size of the house. Although a lot of people would want to have a larger home, it is better to have smaller home sometimes. You really need not to use every room that you have right now, and use the info to design the new house.
