5 Benefits of Custom Interior Design
When your living space is tailored to your individual tastes — from finished floors to perfect mood lighting — it brings you a whole new quality of life. Customized interior design is about creating an environment that fits just for you.
There’s a sense of comfort, happiness, and security that comes from custom designing your home, and it becomes a place where you experience beauty, harmony and connection. You walk in the door and instantly relax into the space because attention has been given to every detail. You are surrounded by care. This kind of environment helps you to release stress, be inspired and feel at home.
So what exactly does custom designing your home allow you to do? Read on if you’d like to discover some specific benefits that custom-designed homes can offer you.
The Power to Make Choices
Custom interior design provides so much power and so much possibility. You don’t have to live with anything in your house that’s hard to tolerate. That ugly fireplace? We can change it. Too many small rooms? Let’s design a new, open floor plan. With custom design, you can make changes to the layout, aesthetics, and functionality of your space to suit your needs and preferences.
At Uma Stewart, we’re highly optimistic about every space. We always see the potential and possibilities. So whether you’re looking to build a custom home from the ground up, or you have a house that you’re interested in renovating, we can help you craft a vision for your perfect home and bring it to life.
To better understand the benefits that come with the power to make choices, think about a design element that you absolutely love. For example, maybe you’re interested in motorized window treatments, you’ve been obsessing over handleless kitchen designs, or you’re excited about installing wallpaper in your home. Do you have an element in mind? Pick one. Now, imagine how surrounding yourself with exactly the element(s) that you love every day would impact your state of mind, your mood, and your life.
The power to surround yourself with exactly what you love is yours with custom interior design.
Optimal Functionality
Everyone’s lifestyle is unique, and your spaces should be set up to support the way you and your family live. With a custom build or custom interior design, you can optimize your space in a very practical way. At Uma Stewart, we take aesthetics seriously, but we also focus on creating spaces that will support the daily routines and activities of you and your family.
With customized interior design, you can make sure your home functions for your specific purposes. For example, maybe you love golf and want to have a whole area of the home dedicated to it — let’s design an indoor golf simulator! Or maybe your family has a tradition of regular family movie nights — a home theater would be just the thing to bring everyone together. Motorized window treatments and smart home appliances are a few more examples of how you can optimize the functionality of your home with custom design.
Support Your Lifestyle
Everyone should be able to feel that their house reflects their personal lifestyle. You may want a more traditional home to match your traditional values, or you may live a modern lifestyle or want a more casual space. Perhaps you’re living the family life and want your home to support the activities of your kids. With custom interior design, we can tailor everything from the furniture and decor to the wall trim. When your space is made for your unique needs and preferences it creates a sense of contentment and satisfaction that just cannot be achieved in a generic space. With a custom build or interior design you get the pleasure of living in a space that is made to reflect your tastes and supports your way of life.
Higher Quality Materials
Most houses are constructed using “builder grade” materials. When builders construct houses, they often buy in bulk to get a good deal. They choose materials based on what they have on hand, or what they’re familiar with and can easily source. The options builders are familiar with are much smaller than the range of options a designer would be familiar with. With a custom design, you can choose the precise materials that you want and get higher quality. This means that your space will not only look more refined and aesthetically harmonious, but it will likely also last longer because of the high quality of the materials.
Alignment with Your Values
Smart house trends that incorporate automation are becoming more and more popular. Passive houses that are energy efficient are also becoming more prevalent as people prioritize eco-friendliness. Some people value privacy and like to keep to themselves, while some value community and love to make their home more socially accessible. Which one are you? Or perhaps you’re a unique blend of both? In all of these cases, a custom build can be key for you.
With custom interior design, we can ensure you’re able to run your household from your phone, or help you feel good about having a house that is environmentally friendly. We can focus on making sure your property feels private and secure in the ways that are most important to you, or that the space is set up for hosting the kind of social events you love.
Your home is the heart of your family, it should fit you just right.
Your home is where you live every day. It should be a place that makes you feel happy, comfortable and inspired. The beauty of custom design is that it supports your individual needs, gives you the power to make choices, lets you express your creativity and ultimately, lets you create an environment that truly feels like your home.
Here at Uma Stewart, we take your unique needs and considerations to heart. Our aim is to create a one-of-a-kind space tailored to you. We go beyond just design, we will manage the whole build process – so you get to relax and enjoy creating your dream home. Ready to get started?
