Make a Wish-List for Your Future Home
January 13, 2012
Published by Greg Drusch
Thinking about building a new home? Cypress Homes can help you through this process, but first you should start to think about what you really want out of your new home. Creating a wish-list is an effective way to share your preferences as you consider building. Not only will a wish-list help you to decide what you want and don’t want in a new home, it will help to determine what you can get out of your budget. Here are a few things to consider as you make a wish-list for your future home:
Basic Specifications
How many bedrooms or bathrooms do you want? How big would you like your house to be? How big of a garage do you need? What style house would you like to build? These are all questions you should consider if you are thinking about building. Come to Cypress Homes with a general idea of what you’re looking for and we can help you decide what efficiently meets your interests.
Design Styles
Think of how you want your house to look inside and out. There are a variety of exterior styles to choose from: Arts and Crafts, Traditional, Country, Contemporary, etc. Do you like stone, brick, siding, or a combination? Pick out some styles that show off your taste without breaking your bank. Exterior styles are plentiful but interior design gives you limitless control. Do you like carpeting or hardwood floors? How do you want your counter tops, cabinets, and doorways to look? Feel free to find pictures on the web or in magazines that you really like. This will really help you portray your personal preferences to a Cypress Homes agent.
Special Features
Today’s world allows you to add so many new and unique features to your home. Explore some of these features and determine what you are most interested in. For example, many new homes are being built with tiled walk-in showers, mudrooms or entry-ways with lockers, big beautiful fireplaces, and connected garages with basement access. You should also decide how important your kitchen, dining room, office, living room, and laundry room are to you. Cutting down on a dining room can give you some extra space in the kitchen or family room. Do you want a patio or a deck? You can even consider designing an outdoor living area.
Creating a wish-list with some of these ideas in mind will really help Cypress Homes to give you what you want while meeting your budget. This wish-list will help you realize what you must-have and what you are willing to go without. Not sure where to start?
