Most Desired Elements in New Build Homes
When it comes to new-build homes, there are tired-and-true elements that consumers desire that never seem to go out of style. Below are a few examples of New Build Elements that have stood the test of time regarding consumer wants:
- High Quality Windows: Quality Windows not only provide light and visual interest to our homes but comfort and cost savings. Well-constructed windows are airtight and keep interior temperatures regulated. They protect furniture, flooring and new home finishings from the damage of UV light.
- Non-toxic building materials: Conscious consumers are highly interested in finding ways to ensure their new home is free of hazardous materials. Non-toxic building materials, like modular bamboo and pollution-absorbing bricks, offer a comfort to consumers that the home they are investing in is safe and sustainable. Building materials like insulation and drywall can even prevent mold from forming. Splurging on mold-resistant building materials can potentially prevent serious problems that lead to costly repairs.
- The feeling of space: Feeling like there is space is important to new-build home owners, whether that is in layout or the illusion of space. For example, tall or vaulted ceilings are a design element that can make even a smaller home feel significantly larger and more functional, even if floor space is limited.
- Storage: When building a home, consumers are free to customize their storage exactly to their needs. Smart and functional storage is at the top of the list. Built-ins, and storage in places you may not find it, such as compact toe-kick kitchen doors are great examples of innovative and functional space that is often otherwise not utilized.
