You\u2019re pretty much stuck with what you have for good. But when you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/s3da-design.com\/what-you-should-know-before-building-a-custom-home\/\">building your custom home<\/a> yourself from scratch, you can be as creative with the interior space as possible. Remember, you\u2019re going to spend some good long years in the house you\u2019re designing, so why not give it your best shot and put in all the epic, unique interior features you can think of?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to talk about today \u2014 the top 7 unique interior features worth your consideration. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. A deeper basement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your basement\u2019s footprint has to be designed even before the base of your house is set up. That\u2019s why you should give a second thought to whether you\u2019re satisfied with your basement\u2019s depth.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not, consider adding an extra couple of feet into it. You will thank yourself after the extra space comes in handy during later years.<\/p>\n<p>You should also consult with a structural design firm or structural engineer to receive their guidance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Higher ceilings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of extra space, why not add some height to your ceiling walls as well? There\u2019s a reason why luxurious buildings and hotels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millionacres.com\/real-estate-investing\/house-flipping\/high-ceilings-what-you-need-to-know\/\">have higher ceilings<\/a>. If you want your new house to feel spacious, as well as luxurious \u2014 consider adding some extra height to your ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>Higher ceilings will also allow you to do more playful things with your wall and ceiling designs later on. Don&#8217;t forget to discuss it with your architectural engineer as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Mudroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Remember the times when you walk into your home with muddy shoes and you can\u2019t figure out where to put them? Yeah, these annoying little things you faced in your previous homes. Now\u2019s the time to create a mudroom and fix that problem for good.<\/p>\n<p>The room doesn\u2019t have to be big either; just a little space where you can put muddy shoes and hang rainy coats when you come in.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Dual closet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While you\u2019re designing a closet for your apparel, why not opt-in for a dual closet? It\u2019s a trending choice in modern times, and people are loving the idea of having separate closets for him and her.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your home designer and see if you can spare some space for a dual closet solution. Talking about designers, make sure you\u2019re only working with a professional home builder. For instance, if you\u2019re living and building a home in Sacramento, look for professional <a href=\"https:\/\/houseidea.com\/\">custom home builders in Sacramento<\/a> on the internet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Heated floors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19247\" src=\"https:\/\/s3da-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Heated-Floor-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Heated Floor\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another trending design choice in 2021 are heated floors. If you\u2019re building the house in a cold area, this choice could be super useful for you.<\/p>\n<p>By installing heated coils under the floor, you can switch on and heat up your floor whenever you want to feel extra cozy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Extra outlets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you have finalized your house MEP design, it\u2019s a great idea to give a last-minute thought to whether you need more power outlets. Extra outlets may feel useless right now, but when you have to decorate your house with Christmas lights in December, you will appreciate them.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, think about putting extra outlets in places where you\u2019d want to plug in extra appliances later on. For instance, it might be a great idea to put an outlet next to your couch in the living room, so you can charge up your phone without having to put it far away.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Smart devices<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, consider getting some smart devices for your newly-designed, modern house. You don\u2019t have to think about them earlier in the design process as you can always install them later on. But consider adding their expenses to your budget nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Smart devices can make your life much easier by letting you turn off your lights or air conditioning with your voice, open door locks with your phone, look at who\u2019s knocking at your door from your smartphone screen \u2014 and much more.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re designing your house from scratch, you have the flexibility to put your creativity to work and install some nifty features into your house.<\/p>\n<p>This article educates you about the top 7 unique features you must consider when you\u2019re building your new, custom home.<\/p>\n<p>In case you have any Architectural design requirements or questions, do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/s3da-design.com\/contact\/\">contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\"><i>Inna Atwood is an interior designer and a writer.
