Finding the perfect pre-existing home on the market for you and your family can be hard. Personalizing your home allows you to pick out features you love.

Style, functionality and choosing an ideal floor plan are some important things to consider when personalizing your home.

Functionality

Functionality is just as important as the style elements you choose when you personalize your home. Make sure that you don’t only like the way it looks but that your dream home will work well for you and your family. For example, one bathroom may work okay when it’s just you and your partner, but if you plan on expanding your family or have frequent guests, having more than one bathroom is more convenient for everyone. 

If there are features that you don’t like in your current living space, making a list of must-haves in your new home is a good way to make sure you don’t miss out on anything important. You can read seven ways to create a functional and family-friendly home here.

Style

The great thing about personalizing your home is that you don’t have to compromise or settle. You can choose style elements that speak to you and your personality. Some important things to consider include what type and color of floors you’ll want in your home. You’ll also want to consider what countertops you want for your kitchen and bathroom spaces. 

Hardwood is a great floor option as it’s easier to clean, especially if you have kids or pets. However, carpets are cozy and can retain heat better than hardwood. It’s all about your preference and weighing the pros and cons.

Choose a floor plan that works

Bigger isn’t always better. If you want to downsize for the later stages of life, you’ll want to pick a simple, easy-to-navigate floor plan. On the other hand, if you’re considering expanding your family, choosing a new home with plenty of space to grow is paramount. Regardless of your age and stage in life, ensure you’re picking the right floor plan for you. Check out these tips for choosing the perfect floor plan here.
