At Signature Homes, we not only create homes you love, but we also construct homes the entire family will love to live in. Check out the most important elements to consider when it comes to building the perfect space to accommodate everyone.
Allow for Extra Space
Determine how many bedrooms and bathrooms are required to fit your family’s needs and add “bonus” rooms for extra space. A playroom, multimedia room, or library with plenty of shelving and storage for toys, electronics, and pantry items are among the most popular considerations. Mudrooms with storage for outerwear, backpacks, and shoes are also a great option when determining the best use of bonus space.
Make the Most of Main Rooms
Families are likely to spend the majority of their time at home in multifunctional areas. Rooms designed to be relaxing and free-flowing work best, particularly for parents of young children. With an open layout, the adults can unpack groceries in the kitchen while keeping an eye on the little ones playing nearby, or prepare dinner while watching their favorite television program from an adjoining living room.
Grow Your Space
When it comes to new home construction, design with space to grow in mind. The kids may be comfortable sharing a bedroom or bathroom now, but as they grow, they’ll appreciate space all their own. Once the toys have outgrown the playroom, clear the clutter by updating the playspace into an art studio, entertainment area or an extra bedroom. Plan for the future when designing the layout of the home to accommodate each family member’s individual interests and changing needs.
Safety
Accidental falls account for more than 40% of all non-fatal injuries at home. Your Signature Home should be your safe haven. Avoid potential accidents by designing a home to help prevent them. Sturdy staircases with appropriate handrails and banisters offer the safest climbing option. For bunk beds, keep in mind a safe height no higher than 6 feet, with built-in guardrails.
A family home should last a lifetime. Contact Signature Homes today to get started on building the perfect family space.
