Luxury Home Builders and New World Design Builders
If you could build your dream home, what would it look like? Better yet, would that home be constructed flawlessly to your vision? New World Design Builders are luxury home builders that have helped developed some of New York’s finest properties throughout the retail, hospitality, nightlife, and residential space. Today we’ll be diving into some broad but important luxury home design ideas and considerations that will help prevent you from experiencing buyers remorse!
Defining and Refining Your Vision
One of the most interesting things about architectural design is that it is a melding of design and practicality. A structure with an incredibly novel design might be interesting initially, but traversing it may be such a pain that you wish you just had a normal layout.
Sometimes our vision can cloud us from what may really be the smart long-term decision. As designers ourselves, we understand the passion that having an idea you’re really sold on can bring. However, we also feel it is our duty as your contractor to give you our professional counsel that is backed by hundreds of successful jobs.
When designing your dream home, try to consider what parts of your vision are realistic and what parts are idealistic. Every design choice has a pro and a con—for example, open kitchen shelving looks eye catching and interesting. The problem? You’ll be washing off and dusting plates all the time as they simply sit there, exposed.
That’s just a minor example, when designing a home from scratch, think about the sheer number of choices available and potential benefits and pitfalls of each. It’s enough to make your head spin! Which brings us to our next point…
Start Simple with Your Luxury Home Design Ideas
Designing your dream home is an incredibly exciting endeavor. You may be so excited that all manner of ideas are flooding into your mind, causing you to flit from one elaborate plan to the next. The end result is you feeling mentally exhausted and with nothing concrete to show for it.
Instead, start with the basics. Don’t worry about the design or some of the finer aspects of the home. Keep it simple by asking yourself questions like:
- How many bedrooms do you want?
- How many floors?
- Is a large back patio or deck important?
- What is the size of your family, are you expecting any additions?
- Do you plan on hosting social parties frequently?
- How long do you plan on having the home?
- What is your budget?
Asking the yourself the basics with these luxury home design ideas will give you a solid foundation to iterate upon when cooperating with your custom home builder.
Think Big, the Whole House is Up for Grabs
It’s common to fuss with counters and cabinets, the rooms themselves, and the color palette. However, what truly marks a home with that “custom” feel is when you consider putting a custom touch on all of those things most people take for granted.
Many people purchase a home from a home builder with various models to choose from, and then there are interior and exterior customizations that are offered depending on the budget. When you’re designing your dream home with a qualified and capable custom home builder in NY, your options are virtually limitless.
A great example is the ceiling of the home. They’re typically flat and relatively inoffensive. In your dream home, you can opt for a vaulted ceiling, a coffered ceiling, a cove or tray ceiling, etc. The list goes on.
Choices always have consequences, remember that whichever ceiling you choose will also greatly affect which lighting will suit it best. Having a contractor create your home entirely custom wherever possible is littered with these types of choices. Just another reason why having an accomplished luxury design contractor working with you and helping you weigh your options is useful.
Does The Home Suit Your Lifestyle or Hobbies?
At the end of the day, if a guest walked into your home would they feel like it was your home? A person’s home is not just a place to sleep and eat and rest, but it is also an extension of the person or family’s lifestyle and personality.
Deeply consider the habits, hobbies, and preferences of those who will be long-term residents in the home. Is lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun and diving into a good book an integral part of your process to unwind? Accommodate that.
Speaking of pool, perhaps you really enjoy playing billiards and would love a room with a pool table and traditional bar to set the mood. Things like these can be added in at any time, but truly making a spectacular display is best done in the planning stages of the home where you can decide how much space you really need.
