It is easy to go over your budget when you are building a new home. You are choosing from a variety of upgrades that are sure to add up over time. This is why it is important to figure out what upgrades you can afford before starting your project.
If you need help narrowing down your selection, here are several upgrades to consider for your custom home.
Pots and Pans Drawer
You can start your kitchen upgrade with a pots and pans drawer. The deep interior creates enough space for your pots and pans, or you can use the drawer for your waffle iron, coffee maker or other small appliances. Using a pots and pans drawer is a great way to clear your cabinets or counters.
Custom-Painted Cabinetry
There is a chance your builder is working with a supplier who can spray your cabinetry a different color. You can work with your builder to choose a color that matches the rest of your kitchen. This is easier than ordering and installing new cabinets in a specific color.
Glass-Fronted Cabinetry
Add an elegant touch to your kitchen by investing in glass cabinet inserts. You can display your collectible glasses or decorative plates behind the glass doors. The glass doors also allow you to find your favorite mug without digging through each cabinet.
Upgrade The Grout
If you do not want to upgrade the tile in your bathroom, you can still make an impact by upgrading the grout. Your design team selects a grout that works with your tile, but you can also talk to your builder about selecting your own grout. This gives you the opportunity to be as creative as you want with your bathroom design.
Upgraded Carpet Pad
Your standard carpet may not need to be upgraded right now, but upgrading the carpet pad is worth the investment. A new underpad creates a softer surface for walking or sitting on your carpet. It also lengthens the life of your standard carpet, so you do not have to worry about upgrading your carpet in several years.
Wood Flooring In Upstairs Hallway
Are you looking to add a touch of warmth to your home? You can start by installing wood flooring in the upstairs hallway. If you have already settled on a solid wood staircase, the wooden stairs can be stained to match your wood flooring. It is less expensive to upgrade to wood flooring after you already own your new home.
