3 Tips for New Home Build Inspiration

There is nothing more exciting than deciding to build the home of your dreams, instead of searching relentlessly in a tumultuous market here in the Hampton Roads. If you’ve made the decision to build, then you might find yourself overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made.

Don’t stress! K.M. Cash Construction has been building homes in the Hampton Roads for years, garnering unmatched client satisfaction. We’ve seen the trends and have gained an understanding of what clients gravitate toward in their new build homes. Consider these 3 standout ideas for your new build home for both practicality and appeal.

1. Prioritize Efficiency

With the increase in home technology, we find that some clients have a distaste for the boom of “smart houses” being built. But one advancement that all of our clients agree on is increased efficiency!

Gone are the days of home appliances and design choices that increase your monthly utility expenses. Instead, new homes are being built with energy efficiency in mind. From the insulation being chosen and properly installed during the building process, to the windows used throughout your home, to even the appliances we incorporate – we keep energy efficiency in mind!

Not only are our clients excited to know that our homes at K.M. Cash Construction are beautiful and have all the modern amenities, but they’re durable and efficient.

2. Old but New

With new home builds, we’re seeing a push toward sentimentality and a more handmade design flair. What this means is that although everything in your custom-built home is new and modern, it appeals in a cozy, warm and traditional way. This means your home will feel unique and personal to you, and also feel as if it has a history, despite it being brand new!

3. Natural Lighting

One design element we make sure all our clients consider is natural light! Any home – despite its age – can feel cold and dark if it isn’t built and designed around bringing in natural light! By choosing a home layout that embraces the day’s natural sun movement and by incorporating large and plenty of windows throughout your new home, not only will it bring the outdoors in, but it will enliven the space and make it appear even larger.
