The design phase is one of the most exciting parts of building a new home—you get to put your personal touch on your new home! We want to make sure you get a home that fits your lifestyle. In our first meeting, we would provide you with a summary of the design process. Begin thinking about your style and design needs.
It's never too early to think about your flooring and additional features you or your family may require—fireplace, cabinetry, and more. Start creating portfolios or lists of ideas you like.
Kitchens and bathrooms are considered by many to be the most important areas of the home. They are definitely rooms where it is important to get your requirements right. Take the time to look for cabinets and countertops that you like—it's important to get the right style, color, and wood. The finishing touches are also important. What style of pulls do you want? Do you want a backsplash? Are there any specific appliances you want?
Lighting is often overlooked until the last minute. But don't wait until you're picking out fixtures to discuss it. Thinking about lighting beforehand allows your lighting needs to be addressed properly. Task lighting, under-cabinet lighting, or accent lighting can add considerably to the atmosphere of a home. Exterior lighting is often overlooked as well, but it can drastically enhance your curb appeal. Or, think about adding a home theater, whole house audio, or even exterior speakers. The possibilities are almost endless.
