You hear a lot about people customizing their homes these days. But what does it all really mean? Which customizations are the most popular and which are making a difference to quality of life?
Glad you asked: that’s what we go over in this post. We explore some of the ways people are spending a little extra to get the properties and interiors they want, with all the relevant style and pizazz.
Pantry With Motion Lights
Getting a pantry with motion lights is currently at the top of the list of priorities for a lot of people. Imagine just being able to open your pantry and immediately see everything inside. It’d make cooking so much easier.
What’s more, proper pantry lighting can look magical. It can really brighten up your day and make you feel special.
Hidden Charging Points
Another way to upgrade your home and personalize it in a way that seems unique to you is to add various charging points. When these are hidden, it just makes everything so much cleaner and more attractive.
Try to think carefully about where the charging points will go. Hidden wires and other perks can make these fit seamlessly into the room without the usual drama or pattern consideration.
Whole-House Water Filtration
Whole-house water filtration is another critical customization that can have a massive effect in your quality of life. It’s not just the water you drink that makes the difference. It’s the shower and bathroom, too. You’ll notice that it feels softer and it smells less contaminated, which is critical, depending on where you live.
Of course, whole-house filtration is a little costlier, but it’s totally worth it if you can get it right. Simply get an engineer to attach it to the mains inlet pipe.
Heated Floor
Heated floors are another must-have these days. Sometimes, these come fitted as standard, but they’re best when customized.
For example, if you have a reading nook, you could heat the floor there. You could also heat spaces like your bathrooms and basements if you have them.
Blinds
Blinds for windows are another customisable option. These can be attached to motors that sit on the wall, or fit inside recesses for a cleaner look. They also have a minimalist aesthetic compared to curtains, potentially giving you more interior space. They’re particularly practical in places like the kitchen where other window coverings just aren’t appropriate.
Attic Space
You could also look into customizing your attic space. This area of the home is perfect for adding bespoke cupboards and storage areas because, usually, you’re not using it for anything else. It can essentially act as a form of self-storage.
Outdoor Electrical Outlets
Finally, you might want to look into customizing your home with outdoor electrical outlets. These are handy for lawn mowers, pressure washers, and hedge trimmers.
Interestingly, quite a lot of homes don’t actually have these, which is a shame. Therefore, you might want to add one. Just make sure it’s on a high-watt circuit.
