When you build your dream custom home you want all the luxury you can afford. After all, isn’t that what makes it your dream home? Because its your custom design you can go as extravagant as you like. Today’s luxury amenities may seem out of reach but they are quite doable and actually pretty practical when it comes to amenities for your home. Here we offer our top. Luxury amenities you may want to consider for your dream custom home.

1. Open Floor Plan

While open floor plans are pretty much standard in new homes the concept goes beyond the open kitchen/living space usually seen in homes today. A true open floorplan makes use of the natural flow of your home while highlighting the separateness of each room. For instance you can highlight the allure of your larger space by directing the flow that way. You can also take advantage of immense natural light in your home that isn’t encumbered by the placement of walls. A professionally designed custom open floorplan increases the soft and inviting ambience of natural light even as it accentuates your dream custom home’s vast space.

2. Luxury Amenities All Your Own: The Spa Bathroom

There’s something very luxurious about a custom designed spa bathroom. Relax in the spa splendor of your own most personal space when you integrate a spa bathroom as your en suite. A soaking tub melts away the stress of the day. Add some deluxe fixtures, a sparkling chandelier, mood lighting and a built-in sound system. Cozy up your spa bathroom with heated floors. Include a shower space filled with luxury amenities like a waterfall shower head and multiple shower jets that you control. Add on a tranquility room where you can relax and ease into your favorite spot in your dream custom home.

3. Exercise Studio

Realize your fitness goals with one of the most popular luxury amenities today: your own fitness studio. Designate a space within your custom home to practice all of your family’s fitness routines. Interval runs on the treadmill, indoor cycling, power lifting and the rest are much easier to do from the comfort of your custom home. Include all of your favorite exercise equipment. Install mirrors and mount a TV to bump up this favorite among luxury amenities. You could even install a sauna to help soothe post-workout muscles.

4. Entertainment Room

If you regularly entertain guests in your home do so in dedicated style with your entertainment room. Include a billiards table and some arcade games, a wet bar with club seating. Create a home theatre area within your entertainment room for viewing movies, sports and other events. Install a sound system for videos and music. 

5. Wine Cellar

A wine cellar is an oenophile’s must have when it comes to luxury amenities. While a temperature-controlled environment is essential for storing wine a wine cellar takes the storage up a few levels. Stone walls, arched ceilings and doorways and backlighting that proudly shows off your favorite rare vintages create an ambience that harkens to the famous cellars of France and Italy. Create a space just off the cellar where you and your friends can enjoy a wine tasting. If you are a cigar aficionado with an impressive collection you could include a walk-in humidor as well. One word of caution: If you’ve invested heavily in your collection of wine and/or cigars please install a security system to protect your investment.

6. Outdoor Kitchen

Luxury amenities can spill to your outdoor area as well. An outdoor kitchen is a must-have practical luxury for your new dream custom home, especially of you enjoy entertaining. Enjoy the outdoors and your backyard views while you and your guests have everything you need within reach. A built-in grill, pizza oven, griddle-top, sink with running water, refrigerator, wine cooler and anything else that makes life easier should be part of your outdoor kitchen. Your custom fire pit or fireplace extends the outdoor season when the mercury begins to dip down. Invite friends to gather around your wet bar to watch the game on your outdoor TV.

7. Outdoor Spa and Pool

Outdoor pools have always been considered true luxury amenities. Whether hosting a summer party or adding a swim to your fitness routine an in-ground pool ands spa area add so much to your dream custom home.
