Building your own custom home is an exciting process. You have the opportunity to choose and design with your builder even from the ground up. You can create exactly what you want which means all those pinned images from your Pinterest account can finally become a reality, and you’re only limited by your budget. As a custom design-build firm in Houston, Luminous Homes makes it a point to listen to our clients so we can help them build a home that’s attuned to their specific interests. We understand that there is a myriad of possibilities and choices available when designing a custom home. Adding luxury features to a custom home is something we highly recommend to our clients. You might ask – are these luxury features or upgrades worth the splurge? Yes, but not all luxury features are practical and can add value to your home.
Today’s custom homes have more luxury features than ever before and we always go for those that are practical, functional, smart, can add value and longevity, and are very much likely to become classics. As you plan the home building process for your custom home, consider adding some of the following luxury additions.
Luxury Features To Consider When Building A New Home in Houston
1. Master Bedroom Luxury Bathroom
The bathroom is considered one of the most important parts of a luxury home build. Surely, a simple sink, toilet, and shower design have become outdated so, consider adding spa features in your bathroom like a sauna or steam shower or luxury bathtub, marble or granite finishes for your walls or floors. And finally, don’t forget to incorporate a bit of technology by adding customized lighting or surround sound.
2. Well-equipped Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of every home. It’s a must-have and sets the tone for the complete experience, especially for your guests. That’s why no luxury home is complete without a well-equipped kitchen. While you may not need commercial-grade appliances, how do you translate that in your kitchen? We recommend adding under-cabinet outlets or lighting, smart and energy-efficient appliances, or an enclosed pantry.
3. Outdoor Kitchen Area
An outdoor kitchen is an amazing addition to your custom build home and one of the best ways to utilize your yard. Surely, we don’t always entertain our guests inside; we often celebrate holidays while barbecuing, and a well-positioned outdoor kitchen is a great addition to your new home. A functional outdoor space with an outdoor kitchen fitted with a sink, grill, refrigerator, and storage space will come in handy not just for entertaining guests, but when you and your family want to eat out but in the comforts of your home.
4. Home Office
As work environments continue to evolve and more people are working remotely, a home office has become an important part of every home. Having a separate and dedicated space for work without unnecessary distractions allows you to work productively and focus on your projects. When building one, choose an area in your house with the most natural light and ask your builder to design large and open windows.
5. Home Theater Room
Take your television and home movie experience up a notch by creating a room with a great surround sound system, lighting, and projector system for that perfect visuals. If you don’t want to add a second living room where you can rewatch your favorite movies, you may want to add the ultimate place to relax and unwind after a hard day in the comfort of your own house.
6. Outdoor Living Area with Media Connections
Aside from adding luxury features inside a home, don’t neglect the outside when building your custom home. We’ve mentioned the outdoor kitchen and this is one luxury feature that you can add in order to create a stunning outdoor space. Aside from the outdoor kitchen or an outdoor lounge area with the functionality to host a large gathering, you may want to build luxury features that incorporate your hobbies such as – an outdoor custom pool if you love swimming, or a small putting green if you love golf.
Everyone deserves a home that’s custom-built to their interests. Every home deserves one or two luxury features that work for the homeowners. And most importantly, you don’t have to be a celebrity to own a luxury home; you can add a few luxury features during your custom home build for the ultimate convenience and luxurious functionality. These luxury features will not only improve your everyday life but will all add value to your home if you decide to sell it one day. So, don’t be reticent if you have a luxury feature in mind, talk to us and we can build that, too!
