How To Design A Home To Grow With Your Family

When you decide to work with a builder to design a custom home, it typically means you plan to live there for years. For many people, that means the design needs to be able to accommodate a growing family, whether that will include children, pets, elderly relatives, or other additions to your home.

Working with a custom home builder like Timber Rock Construction takes the stress out of designing and building your dream home. Our team is here to guide you step-by-step through your project, from our initial consultation and design to the final completion and warranty.

Flexible Design Spaces

None of us know what the future holds, so it’s important to have spaces in your home that will be flexible and accommodate your needs for years to come.

An Extra Bedroom

Having an extra bedroom in your design is always a great idea. You can use it for future family members, set up a dedicated office space, use it as a guest room, or design it to fulfill any other need for the space you set up.

A “Bonus Room”

This type of space is a fantastic idea for anyone who has children or plans to have children in their home. As they grow, this room can shift from a toddler’s playroom to a music room or art studio in elementary school years. As they grow into teenagers, it can act as a space to watch movies and play games with their friends.

Consider The Layout

When you’re designing your ideal custom home, the layout is the most important part of your design. That’s the benefit of being able to customize your home instead of buying a house that has already been built!

When deciding what layout or floorplan is the best choice for you and your family, consider the following questions:

• Are there large enough areas for the entire family to gather?
• Can you easily see where kids (and pets) are playing from the most-used rooms (like the kitchen and living room)?
• Will every family member have their own dedicated space?
• Do you need a dedicated work-from-home space?

Details Are Important!

These are a few of our favorite details our clients have added to their custom homes that have made their lives easier and ensured their homes will be able to grow and change as their families do!

• Plenty of built-in storage (bookcases, cabinets, garage racks, etc.)
• Mudroom combined with laundry room
• Bulter’s pantry
• Family charging station for phones, tablets, etc.
• Built-in pet food and water stations
• Underfloor heating in bathrooms
