There are so many benefits that come with having your home custom-built. One of the biggest benefits is having the ability to choose the features you want to have built in the home. You can learn about some of the features you would be able to have built into your custom home that can be great additions in this article. 

A large mudroom

If you have a home built in an area that tends to get a good amount of rain or snow, then you want to consider having a mudroom built. Many homes have very small and cramped mudrooms, and these only give you enough space to leave your boots and hang your coat. However, you should consider a larger mudroom, where you can sit down to take off your boots and where you can temporarily keep other things you don't want to bring in the house until they are dry. A large mudroom can be very convenient, and it can be a great-looking addition to your home when designed with something like nice hardwood flooring and solid bench seating. 

A large and open kitchen

When you are going over the design of your home, you should make sure you put enough thought into the design and size of your kitchen. Consider having a very large and open kitchen built. Even if your family spends very little time in the kitchen, this will be a good idea. You will see it can make holiday preparations much easier and more comfortable. Also, a spacious kitchen can help you sell your home in the future. 

Large walk-in closets

Many people put so much into the rooms in the home, and the closets end up almost being small afterthoughts. However, when a bedroom has a great walk-in closet, people appreciate it, and they enjoy all the advantages they bring daily. Therefore, you want to consider having large closets built with custom shelving and other nice features. 

Large covered patio

When a large covered patio isn't built into the custom home, it will be something that will soon be noticed and likely remedied. You can save yourself the trouble of having one built later by having it done while the home is being built. A nice patio that's covered will give your family a great place to enjoy being outdoors, without actually being in the elements. You should also consider having it screened in.
