How to Make a House Custom

May 1, 2024

New construction homes work off of template floor plans you can adjust to your needs. At Ameri-Star Homes, you can customize the design of your chosen floor plan to your heart’s content. Of course, if you have a layout in mind, it is best to work with a house model that is similar so you don’t have to make drastic changes. Are you looking for tips on how to make a house custom? Keep reading below!

Ways to Make Your House Feel Unique

Change or Add Rooms

Does the square footage of the rooms feel off for your priorities? Consider adjusting the bedroom sizes, living area, kitchen, and bathroom sizes to fit your comfort. You can also consider adding rooms, like an extension or a guest bathroom, to accommodate your needs.

Change the Ceiling Height

Do you love one home model but want the ceiling height in another floor plan? With the help of an expert home designer, you can combine the two to have the layout plus at least one room with lofty ceilings.

Consider Outdoor Living Areas

Easy home additions that don’t come with the cost of whole home extensions are outdoor living areas. Think of screened porches, sunrooms, decks, and patios. These accessories are easy to add and can give you the outdoor amenities you crave.

Feel Free to Rearrange the Floor Plan

Do you like the home’s style and general layout, but not the floor plan? Feel free to experiment. Rearrange rooms, take down or put up walls, and edit where fixtures go. It could include moving the kitchen to another wall, turning the dining room into a living room, or combining spaces.

Change the Fixtures and Finishings to Your Liking

Easy ways to make a house custom include changing the light fixtures, the flooring, the wall colors, and the hardware. Small, cosmetic changes can turn your house from a standard builder’s house to your custom home. Change up the bathroom sink, add custom furniture, and decorate to your heart’s content! At Ameri-Star Homes, we look forward to making the base for your one-of-a-kind Maryland home.
