When you build your home in Denver, creating a place that reflects your personality and style matters. You want the home to represent your family in the best light while also tending to your needs to make life easier and more enjoyable every day.

We go the extra mile to make that happen.

1. Gourmet Kitchen
2. Home Office
3. Spa-Quality Bathroom
4. Outdoor Living Space
5. Mudroom Addition
6. Walk-in Closet
7. Oversized Windows

1. Gourmet Kitchen

The ideas for a gourmet kitchen truly give every homeowner choices regardless of their preferred style. A kitchen island is one of the must-have fixtures for a gourmet kitchen. The island makes meal prep, storage, and many other tasks easier and quicker while saving tons of space.

Open cabinets rule the roost in gourmet kitchen designs, although tons of cabinet styles work well to preserve your style.

The kitchen is the room where we gather to prepare and eat meals but it serves as a place for conversation and quality time with people that matter most in your life. Make the kitchen comfortable and expect more of those important conversations.

2. Home Office

Adding a home office onto the home gives you room to take care of business without interruption or distractions. If you work at home, of course, a home office becomes necessary to get duties down as required. A home office can also serve as a study room for the kids and many other purposes. If you need a quiet space to concentrate and complete important tasks, a home office is what you need.

Home office space has limitless options to take care of your design needs. Oversized wall bookshelves, Persian rugs, and art for the wall can help turn an ordinary office into something extraordinary. Don’t forget to add the perfect desk and chair to complete the home office.

3. Spa-Quality Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the most personal rooms in the home. We spend an average of 30-minutes daily in the bathroom or 14 hours per month. Make the best of the time spent in this room by replicating a spa in your bathroom.

Spa bathrooms possess tranquility and serenity, complete with a jacuzzi, intricate lighting and chandeliers, heated floors, quartz countertops, and other features that complete the sanctuary space this room should offer. You truly bring the spa into your home when adding a spa bathroom to your custom luxury home.

A custom spa bathroom fills the home with character and style while fulfilling its practical use for everyone in the family. Don’t settle for an ordinary, soulless design when a spa bathroom improves your body, soul, and mind.

4. Outdoor Living Spaces

The hottest addition to custom homes (and traditional homes, for that matter) is an outdoor living space. Adding outdoor living space to your home gives you more reason to spend time outdoors enjoying the fresh air and scenic views found throughout Denver.

Outdoor living spaces provide all the features of the indoors in an outdoor setting, whether you want kitchen gear to whip up meals or speakers and a TV to watch the latest movies. There’s great furniture available to complete the look as well.

Outdoor living spaces have the potential to add value to the home as they provide the perfect place to entertain guests and friends, spend time with family, or even hang out on a solo day by yourself.

Since outdoor living spaces allow customizations suitable for even the most extreme weather, Denver area residents find them a welcomed addition to their custom home design. For example, a sunroom outfitted with furniture, speakers, a TV, etc. can be used any time of the year.

More outdoor living space options to consider:

• Outdoor Seating: Outdoor seating options range from wicker loveseats to bean bag chairs and every option in between. With the right seating, your outdoor living area exhibits an immaculate style that enhances the appeal of your custom home.
• Outdoor Kitchen: Everyone needs to eat. With an outdoor kitchen, the fun outdoors never ends. There are tons of kitchen items to add to the outdoor setting, from cooktops to grills to kitchen tables. You’ll even find great accessories for added appeal.
• Outdoor Entertainment Area: Add a big screen TV, speakers, and a sound system to the outdoor living area for the best in entertainment. Bring the video game systems outside as well if you would like. Now there’s truly never any reason to go back inside the home!

5. Mudroom Addition

Mudrooms keep the home free from clutter, save cleaning time, and so much more. The rooms serve as gateway rooms to the main portion of the home. It is out of sight of guests and others, providing space to store pet supplies, sporting equipment, shoes, and many other items.

Many people place the washing machine and dryer in the mudroom as well, giving more versatility in the room.

Mudrooms have wall-to-wall storage, cubicles, and shelving options to increase the space already available in the room. Adding storage benches and chairs provides even more versatility to the room.

The sky’s the limit when designing a mudroom. Choose the size, shape, and other features to create a room found on most Denver-area homes, both old and new.

6. Walk-in Closet

Live life like a celebrity with a walk-in closet addition in your custom-built luxury home. You really can enjoy the same phenomenal feeling as Kim Kardashian and when they walk inside their closet and marvel at their astonishing collection of bags, clothes, shoes, and other fashion items.

Create a closet as large as the average bathroom or one large enough to sit down inside. Add shelves and racks of your choosing to complete the space-saving walk-in closet design.

7. Oversized Windows

Oversized windows draw attention to homes, especially when you choose arched or bay windows or another specialty style. Since windows allow more natural lighting into the home, seeing things from a new light will change your perspective of life!

Furthermore, oversized windows cut down on the need for lights, so you can switch them off and let in natural light more often, all while saving money on monthly utility and electrical costs.

New windows have a great ROI as a bonus. The experts at Remodeling.com say windows offer a 73% ROI, giving you a great bargain. Should you one day sell the Denver home, the windows can serve as a major selling point. Enjoy the windows now and benefit from them later.

8. Game Room

Game rooms give kids and kids-at-heart the perfect space to get a little loud and let loose without disturbing other family members. There’s also a comfort knowing all of the video game systems and electronics have their own spot out of view of everyone else.

This room is the room where the fun takes place, the space where everyone lives a little. Let the kids help pick the design for the game room. Do not be afraid to customize this room with something totally opposite from the rest of the house. And, of course, add all the games that your family plays most.

Many people opt to add entertainment rooms onto the home rather than restrict the area to games only. Should you opt for an entertainment room, the possibilities range from TVs and speakers to DJ stands to billiards tables and tons of other options.

9. Secret Space

One of the hottest trends in 2021 is secret spaces. Create a hidden wall behind a bookshelf or design a secret room that no one else knows exists. Open the space or room by touching a special book or by using another method of your choosing. It’s all top secret!

A secret space or room significantly boosts the home value as it provides space to protect valuables, offer peace of mind and privacy when the house is filled with people, or to use for other purposes fitting for your family’s needs.

10. Outdoor Pool

Rainfall is sparse in Denver but the overwhelming hot days are not. In July, the average summertime temperature hits 92 degrees many days out of the month, leaving residents sweltering as they struggle to find ways to cool off and beat the heat.

An outdoor pool offers the best method of beating the heat without the need to sit inside the house under the A/C day and night. It’s a great source of exercise, provides stress relief, saves money on entertainment, and creates a space that helps the neighborhood flourish.

An in-ground pool holds up better than an above-ground pool and continues embellishing the luxury that you want. The inground pool is costlier than an above-ground pool, however.

Whether you choose an above-ground or an inground pool, create the perfect space by jazzing things up with customizable features that improve and enhance the aesthetics of both the pool and your property.
