Building a custom home of your own is an exciting experience. Rather than simply moving into an already existing home and finding ways to make it meet your needs, you can start from scratch.
Building a custom home of your own is an exciting experience. Rather than simply moving into an already existing home and finding ways to make it meet your needs, you can start from scratch. There are many decisions to be made, and you are in the driver’s seat! One of the decisions you must make is choosing a home style. Take a look at this list of beautiful contemporary home styles and get inspired!
The Cape Cod Home Style
The first homes built in this style were built in the 1600’s. They were inspired by Britain’s thatched cottages, but designed specifically to withstand New England’s bitter winters. This is a classic homestyle which has windows flanking the front door, dormer windows up high, and cedar shingles.
Art Deco Is Back
This bold style drawn from Ancient Egyptian, Classic Hollywood, and Miami Beach pastels is more common for office buildings than custom homes. Art deco design involves flat roofs, smooth stucco walls, rounded corners, and bold exterior design. It would make for a truly one of a kind home.
The Craftsman
For the outdoorsy modern minimalists who like a natural feel, this home is ideal. This home style puts the emphasis on natural materials such as stone, wood, and brick. If you favori wide front porches, open floor plans, and large fireplaces, this would be an excellent choice for your custom home.
Contemporary And Environmentally Friendly
For the environmentally conscious, a custom home in this style is an excellent choice. These homes seek to connect the indoors and outdoors in smart ways, such as utilizing natural light. They are designed for maximum energy efficiency and built from sustainable, recycled, and non-toxic materials.
Mediterranean
This home style, originally popular from 1918 to 1940 in the U.S. is making a comeback. Modeled after the hacienda style, the red tile roofs, porticos, balconies, multicolored tiles, arches, and plaster surfaces make for a beautiful look.
