Where to Splurge When Building a Custom Home.

The best part about getting a custom home built
is that its a blank canvas, you can design it
in whatever way youd like. But budget
constraints can make it harder for you to get
everything you want, so youll have to
prioritize where to splurge and where you need
to save. The basic idea is to splurge on the
more permanent part of your home that is
difficult to change.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
With climate change being an immediate concern,
it is crucial for new homes to be equipped with
the latest tech that allows for efficient and
sustainable energy management. Such upgrades are
easier to incorporate in a new home. A home is
also a long-term investment and the property's
lifetime value would definitely increase if your
house were to have energy-saving features such
as solar water heaters, insulated windows, etc.

Doors over Yards
You might be thinking of including some
extensive landscaping in your budget, since the
yard is right outside and a well- maintained
yard can make a solid statement. But it doesn't
have that much of an impact on the sale price of
your home as it can be decked up in less time
for a lower cost. Simply keep your lawns nicely
trimmed with a few additional ornaments and
instead splurge a little more on your door. The
garage, basement, and other exterior doors can
contribute significantly to energy loss as they
serve as the transition point between the
indoors and the outdoors.
5
Counters over Cabinets
Countertops made from natural stone, granite,
or wood are classic, which is why they keep
their value and are in high demand. When
properly cared for, such materials are as
durable and aesthetically pleasing as they are
long-lasting. Additionally, natural countertops
are a great complement to the organic style of
your home. On the other hand, cabinets are a
major part of any kitchen or bathroom, but their
looks can be quickly and easily updated at any
time.
6
FLOORING
Just like natural stone counters, wooden or
stone flooring are a timeless trend in decor.
They are resistant to damage which makes them a
major selling feature. With rich, dark chestnut
brown floors or slate tiles, you can create a
warm, comfortable feel in your custom home. Or,
you can use light oak or white marble to
brighten and expand a room.

Extra Storage Space or Bathroom
When living in a family, it is but natural that
you will acquire more stuff with time.
Whether tools,
it's lawn
outgrowing clothes, equipment, or
toys, sports
equipment in the garage, storage space is
often at a premium in most homes. An
extra closet, specialty shelving,
and/or great
overhead garage storage can be
investments that will keep your custom home
functional and organized for years to come.
