Mistakes to Avoid When Building a New Home

Mistakes to Avoid When Building a New Home

You’re going to build your dream home and you’ve thought it all through – or have you? You know exactly what you need and want to have in your home, but have you thought about what you don’t want and what you don’t need? Have you thought the whole thing through? You have given much thought and consideration to what will work for you, but have you taken the time to think about what won’t work?

Poor planning and budgets that are too small can lead way to some inconvenient and disastrous mistakes. When you plan on building a new home, you must look at the home from many angles. You must consider your current and future lifestyles. You need to take family planning into consideration – Will your family be expanding? Or will your children be leaving the nest?  Do you entertain often and host overnight guests regularly? Take your time and do your research both online and in person. Be sure to take the time to meet with professionals in the industry. Poor design choices can make your home not only uncomfortable but downright unhealthy. Debuty Builders is here to help you through the process!

Poor overall planning

When designing your own home you should take your lifestyle and habits into consideration. How long do you plan on staying in this home? Will you need to accommodate safety features for new or young children? Or might you need to think of your needs later in life as you reach retirement age and beyond? Think ahead, long term, to see where you will be and what you will need from your home.

Poor Space Planning

Unless you have plans to build a very large home, space planning and design are crucial. Ample storage is necessary, but pay attention to where you place your storage space. Does the master bedroom really need an oversized walk-in closet when the space could potentially be added to your bedroom or master bath? Pay attention to where you place your closets. There should be one in each bedroom and in the main hallway. But too many and the storage space takes away from the living space. Do you want a closet in the foyer? If you live in a cooler climate where coats are worn at least half of the year, this would be wise, especially if you entertain in your home and the front entrance is the main point of entry. If you have no use for a coat closet, don’t build one. Do you plan on adding a mudroom? If so there should be a closet there or space enough to add cubbies or some other similar storage area. If you clearly need more space, consider buying a larger home.

Pay Attention to HVAC System

Poor planning here can lead to issues with moisture and terrible mold growth. This can lend itself to great health concerns. Furthermore, careful attention should be given to the size of your units. Models that are too small will be underperforming and won’t cool and heat your home efficiently. You’ll come to regret this when your home is too cool in the wintertime and not cool enough during the hot summer months. Conversely, those that are too large will utilize too much energy.

Knoxville Tennessee Home Remodel Tips

Knoxville Tennessee Home Remodel Tips

Home renovation (also called home remodeling) is the process of improving a broken, damaged, or outdated structure residential structure to make it more
aesthetically pleasing or more functional.

Advancements in technology have had a significant impact on possible home renovation ideas. Particularly when it comes to renovation ideas within the planning stage.

Be Mindful of Colors

Different paint color combinations will give your home different vibes. Be sure to consciously choose a palette that matches your desired aesthetic. For a more dramatic feel, use a large contrast of colors in your home renovation. For a more minimalist and organized feel, try an all-white palette that looks clean and beautiful. For an inviting and alive living space feel, use bright and vibrant colors that make you feel joyful. Accent walls are a great way to add depth and dimension to a room, as well as color.

Create a Focal Point with Lighting

By adding lighting fixtures such as low hanging pendant lights or spot lights, you create an interesting focal point of the room. If you’re adding lights above a countertop or table, be sure that the material you use in your home remodel has a high impact so you can get a true visual treat.

Use Open Shelving

As you work through your home renovation, one of our favorite ideas is to include open shelves, to add an extra visual layer to your home. You only need a couple of shelves to display your antiques, tchotchkes etcetera. You can choose to either keep them completely open, or cover them with glass doors. You can also decorate shelves with baskets, books or any other home accessory.

Experiment with Shapes

Plot twist: you don’t need to stick to the traditional rectangular shapes of furniture! Swap out the regular rectangular couches for a spacious L-shape couch. Try out curved countertops and tables for increased work areas. In doing this, though, it is important to make sure that these design ideas don’t reduce any space, and that they allow for easy traffic throughout your home.

In a small space like a bathroom, every detail matters: The right wall color, tilework or lighting can transform a dull, dated bathroom into a bright, stylish retreat.

Advancements in technology have had a significant impact on possible home renovation ideas. Particularly when it comes to renovation ideas within the planning stage.

Create More Usable Space

Another great home remodeling idea is to create more usable space out of your existing furniture. Try this through optimizing your designs. For example, if you have a deck, putting a bar rail on it can create a nice bench for outdoor eating space. Also, instead of adding a typical built-in cabinet, use this home renovation as an opportunity to build pull-out cabinets. This creates extra countertop and storage space, and also makes your home look unique. Also, especially helpful if you’re looking for home renovation ideas on a budget, as you’re adding to spaces and products you already own, instead of starting from scratch.

Add or Upgrade the Kitchen Island

A kitchen island provides you with more counter space, extra storage area, and extra seating options. One great way to enhance the kitchen design is by doubling it as a minibar. Include racks above the counter with proper shelving for drinking glasses and storage space below to keep your alcohol. Be sure to also add extra electrical outlets to the island during your kitchen remodel, to ensure full functionality. Patterns too make up the backsplash and add texture to the room. Depending on the condition of the cabinetry, you might look into painting or staining your kitchen cabinets for an inexpensive kitchen renovation idea.

Advancements in technology have had a significant impact on possible home renovation ideas. Particularly when it comes to renovation ideas within the planning stage.

Lower Your Living Room

A recent home renovation trend, involves making sunken areas for the sofas in living rooms. It tends to give a more intimate feel to space and also makes the living room seem much larger than it actually is. If you have an entire room or space that you’re looking to change, try out this trick for a unique home remodeling solution.

Use the Area Under the Stairs

If you’re remodeling a house that includes a staircase, don’t make the mistake of leaving the large space under the staircase unused. Add some shelves to display your bookcases or music collection, or fans of fine wines can make a fancy wine rack and create your cozy nook.

Maximize Space

We often leave the space under the bed and cabinets untouched. This is letting valuable storage areas go to waste! Instead of leaving this space empty, you can add low baseboard drawers. This is where you can store extra knick-knacks lying around the house and make the house look tidier. Also, especially helpful in mobile home renovation, as you have to maximize the smaller amount of space you’re working with.

Don’t Forget the Exterior

The outside of your house is as important as the inside. So, while conducting a home renovation, remember to add a few accent pieces to give your home a welcoming and pleasant appearance. Some simple methods of upgrading your exterior are: adding a garden and giving your mailbox a makeover. Also, adding cheerful and colorful pieces to the entrance of your home; and adding shutters, window boxes, or planters to your window space.
