Choosing personalized features and elements is among the most exciting aspects of investing in custom builder homes and designs. For instance, you could integrate an open floor plan, a spacious master suite, architectural details, or other exciting touches. But no matter your design goals or most desirable features, ensure you hire new construction builders for expert guidance and outstanding craftsmanship.

Below, we describe the best custom home features that you can incorporate into your design:

  1. Storage Space

Of all the exciting features available, storage space may not be at the top of your list. At first, it may seem quaint compared to other possibilities. Yet plentiful storage space has become a premium feature on the housing market, so much so that buyers are willing to pay more for a home with a significant amount. Even if you have no immediate plans to sell your home, extra storage helps your space remain uncluttered and organized.

Add extra closets or a pantry to incorporate this feature. You might also enlarge your initial design’s master closet or kitchen cabinetry. Furthermore, your new home contractors could build an “extra,” unfinished room (perhaps a basement) for later furnishing. An empty room can provide storage space for as long as necessary but can also turn into a home office or gym.

  1. Open Floor Plan

Over the past several decades, open floor plans have grown increasingly popular. Many homes’ kitchens open on family and dining rooms, allowing occupants in each space to interact with one another. An open layout also affords more design and functional possibilities than a traditional separated one—decorative and stylistic elements can flow from one room to another unobstructed.

  1. Large Master Suite

As a homeowner, shouldn’t you enjoy premium comfort? A master suite provides space for a larger bedroom, bed, closets, and more. Indeed, the abundance of space can allow for extra windows or a luxury bathroom (which may include a walk-in shower, separate tub, double vanity, or other features).

If your new home contractors have limited space to build out, try building up. Taller-than-average ceilings can make a space feel airy and open, increasing its sense of luxury.

  1. Outdoor Living Space

Yards are perennially popular features. However, an upgraded version of yards exists: outdoor living spaces. The latter still offers the natural beauty and charm of the former but includes artificial elements (patio materials, chairs, lights, etc.) to enhance comfort and utility. Adding a fire pit or another fire feature can allow you to use your backyard year-round. Plus, outdoor living spaces offer fantastic ROI for homeowners trying to sell property.

  1. Enlarged Garage

As with a spacious master bedroom, an enlarged garage places a premium on comfort and unlocks flexibility the average garage owner cannot access. For example, a pickup with an extended cab could fit in an expanded garage. Alternatively, a car, boat, or ATV can fit into an extra garage bay. Homeowners without an additional vehicle can use the excess space for tools or further storage.

  1. Stylistic Touches

Finally, your custom home could benefit from architectural features to place it within a particular style or movement. Potential features include:

  • Roof gables
  • Dormers
  • Chimneys
  • Railings
  • Columns
