When it comes to the home, countless quotes and phrases emphasize how vital it is to our lives. Our home is the center of our personal universe. It is where we wake and fall back asleep each day. It is where we raise our families, build core memories, and always return to when we need a break from the world. Our homes are the personification of our unique tastes, preferences, and needs. So, creating a house that aligns with our values is essential in transforming that “house” into a “home.” Custom home design is the future of luxury home living, and we are here to share the benefits of this model.
Benefits of Custom Home Design
#1: Personalization Catered to You
Have you ever walked into someone’s home and noticed a dead space? A dead space is an area of the house that may have worked for the previous owner but didn’t suit the needs of the current residents. Building a custom home eliminates dead space as every aspect of the house is catered to fit the homeowner’s unique needs, wants, and preferences. Whether that means an elaborate coffee bar, a home yoga studio, a catio for your pets, or extra tall cabinets, every element is carefully crafted to meet your family’s needs.
#2: Smart Technology & Energy Efficiency
We live in a world where technology can make home life far easier and more sustainable. For example, smart blinds can be programmed to rise and lower at specific times of the day – perfect for those with a busy schedule who don’t want to walk around the house twice a day to tangle with curtains and cords. This is just scratching the surface of innovative technology – from solar panels to green appliances and everything in between; smart technology not only minimizes unnecessary home tasks but also saves you time, enhances your home’s sustainability, and improves energy efficiency. It’s a relief to know that your home is working for you.
#3: Quality Materials & Craftsmanship
Custom home design goes hand-in-hand with quality craftsmanship and materials. Unlike off-the-shelf brands, everything in your home is designed using high-end materials that will stand the test of time while looking fabulous. This durability and long-term value are among the key benefits of custom home design. Paired with quality craftsmanship, your home will get that special attention to detail to ensure everything is implemented in the way that suits you best. You can rest assured that your home is not just beautiful, but also built to last.
Top Trends in Custom Luxury Homes
In decades past, homes were solely meant for eating, sleeping, and raising children. Now, homes have become an all-encompassing space where people not only provide themselves with the basic necessities of life but can also be a source of remote work, wellness, entertainment, and so much more. Due to this, custom luxury homes have been trending with new concepts allowing homeowners to have a personal sanctuary. Here are a few examples of the top trends in designing luxury homes:
#1: Wellness Areas
A recent poll by CivicScience found that exercising at home is the most popular option for wellness – with over 52% of adults in the USA saying they exercise at home rather than going to a gym. The added convenience, privacy, and personalization make it a more feasible practice for many homeowners.
Due to this, home wellness spaces are one of the top trending designs for luxury homes. With the ability to customize to your unique preferences, we have seen homeowners choose everything from classic home gyms and lap pools to private dance studios and backyard yoga platforms.
#2: Outdoor Living Spaces
After the pandemic and the accompanying travel restrictions, outdoor living spaces boomed as a home concept. Grand View Research reported that the outdoor living structure market size in 2020 was valued at 1.8 billion and is expected to grow by 6.1% by 2028.
Whether homeowners choose to expand their outdoor living spaces with structures like patio covers, pergolas, screen rooms, or any of the other options, they can all be customized to suit their outdoor preferences. We have seen homeowners design elaborate outdoor kitchens, living spaces, gyms, recreational spaces, playgrounds, dog runs, dining areas, mediation zones, vegetable gardens, and more. Combined with sustainable architecture, outdoor lighting, and technology, it is like a home expansion without walls.
#3: Open Concept Kitchens
Everyone has to eat, and there is no place better to congregate during meal times, parties, or casual events than in the kitchen. Open-concept kitchens where families and guests can communicate and interact with one another allow for easy hosting.
However, a messy kitchen isn’t one to put on display. Therefore, a significant aspect of custom home design is to craft highly efficient, spacious kitchens with plenty of storage. For example, here at Prodigy Homes, we emphasize large, versatile pantries to promote organization and free up counter space. At the same time, our top-of-the-line appliances make meal preparation a breeze. Plus, modern innovations such as soft-close cabinets, spice roll-outs, and tip-out trays are critical aspects of every Prodigy Home luxury kitchen design.
#4: Multi-Functional Rooms
Since so many homeowners spend more time at home, creating multi-functional spaces takes advantage of one’s space without dedicating it to one specific concept. This greater utilization of space can have a profound effect on the efficiency of one’s home; here are a few examples:
- Office/Guest Room: A home office that easily converts into a guest bedroom with a Murphy bed.
- Gym/Playroom: A workout space that doubles as a play area for kids, with storage for equipment and toys.
- Dining Room/Library: A dining area with built-in bookshelves and comfortable seating for a cozy reading nook.
- Garage/Workshop: A garage with a dedicated space for DIY projects and tools.
- Study/Craft Room: A study that functions as a craft or hobby room with plenty of storage and work surfaces.
- Hallway/Storage Nook: A wide hallway with built-in storage or a reading nook.
