If you decide that you would like to build your own home, then having it custom built is definitely the way to go. When you custom build a home, you have the opportunity to work one on one with a contractor to ensure that you get exactly what you want. You also have the option to add some unique things that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. This article will discuss 3 unique things to add to your custom built home:
Cement Countertops
One new trend that gives homes more of an industrial look is cement countertops. These countertops are made out of cement and are then sanded down until they are smooth and then sealed to protect them and give them a glossy finish. The cement is very durable and the seal stops foods and liquids from getting stuck in the cracks. These countertops match well with a huge variety of countertops and flooring and they help to give your home a very modern and unique look. This makes it possible for you to put these countertops in your kitchen, your bathrooms, your laundry room, etc., and they will flow really well.
Classic Library Shelving
If you are someone who likes to read, then it only makes sense to have a library in your custom home. You can ask your contractor to create a library for you that has vaulted ceilings with wall to wall bookshelves that go from ceiling to floor. You can choose the classic style of wood for these shelves as well to give your library the perfect classic look. If you'd like, you can also add classic light fixtures, hardwood flooring, and a closed off area of the room for reading.
Indoor Pool
Another unique feature that a custom contractors can add into your home plans is an indoor pool. This is an excellent feature to add to your home both for pleasure and for exercise. If you are someone who likes to swim year round as your main source of exercise, then an indoor pool is likely perfect for you. Also, it is a great way to keep kids active year round. You can choose the size of your pool, whether or not you want a hot tub, the flooring around your pool, what kind of walls you want around your pool, etc. This allows you to customize every detail so that the pool looks and functions exactly how you want it to.

After I started focusing seriously on making my home look and feel brand new, it occurred to me that I needed to do something to make things even better. I started working with a team of remodeling contractors, and although I didn't always understand their decisions, it became apparent pretty quickly that they understood what they were doing. They worked with us each and every day to make things right, and I was really impressed with their level of professionalism. Check out this blog for great information on understanding remodeling decisions each and every time you complete a new project.
