The Top 5 Must-Have Features in a Custom Home

Building a home that is truly yours is special for that very reason. You can customise it however you like! As custom-home building experts, at Brownhill Homes, we understand that customising your home is about more than just the interior and exterior. Everything from outdoor areas to office spaces is key to making your home unique. Your home should complement your lifestyle and the features that are most important to you.

We’re dedicated to bringing your dream home to life, which is why we’ve put together our top features you should consider in your custom-built home so you can make the most out of your space…

Open-Plan Kitchen

The pinnacle of every home is the Kitchen area. It serves as a hosting space and a room of the house that gathers family and friends together. Depending on your lifestyle, you may find that an open-plan kitchen and living area suits you best. When you’re cooking a meal for the family, and everyone is gathered in a separate room, it’s hard to catch up with your loved ones. An open-plan kitchen and living area means they are right there with you whilst you prepare the heart-warming meal. If you choose to implement a dining area within the space, it can facilitate dining in the space, as you don’t need to carry meals back and forth between rooms.

With Brownhill Homes, you can customise this as you like, whether you want a bigger space or a smaller area for intimate gatherings. Alongside our architects and expert designers, you can consider even the smallest details to ensure your kitchen area complements your style and lifestyle.

En-Suite Bathrooms

An en-suite bathroom is an essential for convenience, privacy and additional space. In larger families, when everyone is fighting for the bathroom in the morning, an en-suite gives you the peace of mind you need for a hassle-free morning. Tucked away in bedrooms, your guests can use your guest-ready public bathroom, so your privacy is respected.

En-suite bathrooms are common in master bedrooms, but can be customised for any bedroom for added convenience and privacy for all residents. 

Office

Children running around the house, and you can’t get a moment to think? In the age of working from home and self-employed individuals, a home office space is a need, not a want. For a quiet, private space that you know you can focus in, consider an office room in your new home. It is convenient as you don’t need to leave your home to get your work done, and you can increase your productivity within the comfort of your home. 

An office space doesn’t need to be big; it can be as small and versatile as you need it to be. Contact our team to discuss your requirements and explore how we can bring your dream home to life, tailored to your vision. 

Outdoor Living Space

For days when the sun is shining and you want to soak up the rays, invest in an outdoor area that everyone in your family and friends can enjoy. From BBQs to event hosting in the back garden, an outdoor living area is a great way to gather your loved ones together in the great outdoors. Maybe you’ll want a covered area so you can get some air even when it’s raining. An outdoor living space is a great way to maximise your time outdoors and is versatile for a range of events and activities.

From patios, swimming pools or green spaces, get the most out of your outdoor area with Brownhill Homes and our team of custom-home builders

Storage

It’s always when we move homes that we realise we have a lot of stuff. And organising where to put all your items and trinkets can be a challenge. Storage cupboards and rooms are a great way to maximise your space and hide away all the items that don’t quite match your aesthetic. Keep your home clutter-free and keep all your treasured items when you move into your new Brownhill home with additional storage space. 

With our team, you can decide where a storage room will suit your needs best and how large you need it to be, so even the small details in your home are unique.
