Curb appeal is sometimes enough to make you fall head over heels for your new house, but be careful not to judge a home by its cover. The interior of your house is where your needs and preferences are met. Smart features that meet your safety, convenience, entertainment, and design needs, are all found inside your house.
If you’re ready to make a move into a new house this year, don’t settle for anything that doesn’t completely fit your family’s lifestyle and needs. Allow your home to work for you. Here at Stanley Martin Homes, we understand the importance of building homes that meet individual lifestyles, which is why we focus on developing partnerships with high-quality appliance and manufacturing brands to offer designs that are both functional and aesthetically appealing.
As you begin the process of designing your new home, here are a few things to consider:
Family Routines: After months of remote working, virtual learning, and a shift in daily routines, families are sensing a transition back into life outside the home. With this return to the hustle and bustle lifestyle, it’s important to create a routine that brings the family together at the end of each day. Weeknight dinners are the perfect way to make this happen, and having appliances to support this habit makes all the difference. GE Refrigerators that store your kids’ favorite after-school snacks, stovetops that heat up in seconds for quick meal prep, and ample counter space for easy chopping, mixing, and serving make daily dinner routines a cinch!
Entertaining: Nothing says “new home” like hosting a housewarming event for your family and friends to view your new space. Brighten up your visits by entertaining friends in your naturally lit living room, or cozy up during a winter party next to your gas fireplace from Fireside Hearth & Homes. Hosting company overnight is no problem when you have spacious guest bedrooms, and a private bathroom with top-of-the-line features like the Delta Tech20 Technology for a hands-free faucet activation and an H20kinetic shower head to save water.
Vacationing: Now, you can fully enjoy your next vacation, knowing that your house is safe and secure while you’re gone. Gain peace of mind with a home that’s in a safe location and breathe a sigh of relief with Schlage smart door locks, knobs, and hardware that have a polished look and high-security features.
Laundry: We all have endless piles of laundry to tackle, but a washer like a GE water-efficient machine will save on monthly costs. Each laundry space or room accommodates different sized machines, and as you evaluate what works best for you, consider top-loading vs. front loading to ensure enough space for the door to open. You’ll also want to think through machine capacity for a washer and dryer that fits your space and lifestyle.
Once you’ve found the perfect location for the house of your dreams, our team will use our expertise to create an interior that matches the beauty of the home’s exterior. We’re happy to help with our homebuyer resources as you begin your journey of designing a house to match your ideal lifestyle.
