How to Make a New House Feel Like Home

With so many floor plans to choose from, how do you know which is right for you? Read this.

If you are in the market for a custom home in Maryland, you have opportunities to create your dream home in many beautiful locations, including on the waterfront. If you want to build a house to call your home, the layout will matter immensely. Here are some tips to choose a custom home floor plan to get you started. If you are looking for a custom home builder, Shore-Line Construction is here for you.

Determine the Ideal Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Perhaps two of the most important spaces in the house are the bedroom and the bathroom. These two staples of the modern home need to be places where you feel safe and comfortable. How many bedrooms and full baths will you need? Can you afford to add a powder room for guests? Keeping a safe number of sleeping and washing spots will give your home flexibility. 

Make a List of Must-Have Spaces

Determine the top spaces you must have in your home. It’s your home; you can use the space however you want! Square footage can go to your walk-in wardrobe, home office, home music studio, family library, gaming room, kids’ playroom, or whatever else you can think of. 

Choose One Story or More

Some people like the groundedness and ease of transportation a rancher (a single-level house) gives them. There are no stairs to climb every day. On the other hand, some people prefer to keep the bedrooms on a second level, above the main living areas. The number of stories your home has can depend on the building site. A sloped property may call for a walk-out basement, and a narrow lot may call for a narrow lot house.

Look at the Layouts

Equipped with your ideal number of beds, baths, and main living spaces in mind, you can begin to look at custom home floor plans online. Shore-Line Construction can build whichever floor plan you choose. You can discover different layouts and see which makes the most sense for you.

Think about Style

The style of a house can influence its layout, but making a list of your home design priorities should come before style.
