How to Prepare for your NEW Build!

How to Prepare for your NEW Build!

Building your dream home? Choosing the right selections can be overwhelming, but T.O.B Design Firm x Fischer Homes has tips to help you make the best choices. Check them out now!

So, you’ve embarked on the exciting journey of building your dream home, but how do you make the right selections? With countless options available for every aspect of your home, the process can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry—I’m here to help! Today, I’ll share some tips and tricks to guide you in making the best choices during your home-building process.

STEP 1: Budget

It’s easy to get carried away during the selection process, especially with so many tempting options, some of which come with additional costs. To avoid overspending, it’s crucial to stick to a budget. This will help you distinguish between what you really need and what you simply like. Create a priority list and rank your selection upgrades based on their importance to you. Once you reach your budget limit, it’s time to stop or re-evaluate your choices.

 

STEP 2: Start Exterior Shopping

The exterior of your home plays a significant role in curb appeal, and getting it right can be challenging. I recommend driving through different communities to see what you like and dislike. It’s much easier to visualize selections on a full-sized house rather than a small showroom sample. Take plenty of photos and notes so you can approach selection day with confidence.

STEP 3: Define Your Style & Gather Inspiration

Before your design meeting, it’s essential to define your style, especially if you’re building with a partner. Take some time to sit down together and discuss what you’re both drawn to. This will help ensure a cohesive look throughout your home that reflects both of your personalities. Make it fun by browsing design magazines, scrolling through Pinterest, and collecting images and ideas that inspire you.

STEP 4: Consider Functionality

Think about how each room will be used and select items that enhance the functionality of your spaces. Consider the placement of plugs, appropriate lighting for each room’s needs, and user-friendly flooring. These details are key to creating a functional and organized home that suits your lifestyle.

STEP 5: It’s All in the Details

The small details can make a big difference, and they’re often overlooked during the selection process. Consider extending tile to the ceiling in bathrooms, adding overhead lighting in showers, and ensuring electrical outlets are in place for wall-mounted TVs. Remember, you can never have too much lighting, so when in doubt, add more! We also suggest avoiding standard mirrors so you can install decorative ones after closing, avoiding unsightly holes in your new walls. For a dramatic effect, consider raising vanity lights to 15 inches from the ceiling to accommodate larger mirrors. If you plan to upgrade your lighting after closing, ensure you have a ceiling fan prewire to support heavier fixtures.

Choosing selections for your home should be an enjoyable part of the process. It doesn’t have to be stressful! By doing your homework upfront and taking advice from design experts, you’ll set yourself up for a successful selection day and a beautiful home as your final result.
