Master Closets Take on a New Design

If you are considering home construction, you may naturally want to correct some of the issues you have with your current home. One of the issues that many new homeowners plan to resolve is a lack of closet space.

In fact, while other areas of the home are growing smaller, many people are increasing the sizes of their closets. Luxurious master closets now resemble small designer boutiques in many homes. With enough space to qualify it as a dressing room, these spaces offer a completely new take on the traditional walk-in closet. Now designed to provide more than just simple functional storage, luxury master closets include a number of features, such as:

·         Staggered hanging carousels for jackets, skirts, and shirts
·         Swing rods that eliminate the need to strain and reach for higher hanging items
·         Banks of bureau drawers
·         Built-in floor wall or floor safes for valuables
·         Floor-to-ceiling mirrors
·         Organized shoe storage spaces
·         Dressing benches
·         Locking drawers


Depending upon your lifestyle and needs, there are also many other elements that can be incorporated into a luxury master closet, including rotating scarf and tie carousels and lingerie caches. No matter what type of luxury master closet you might have in mind for your new home, an experienced custom home builder can help to make your dreams come true.

Giving Everyone a Space of Their Own with Custom Homes

Austin and the surrounding area have rapidly become among the most popular places in not only the Texas state but also the country to live. Given the weather, lifestyle, culture, booming economy and affordability, it is certainly easy to see why so many people choose to live here. With a limited inventory of existing homes, many people are now choosing to contact custom home builders in Austin to help them in building their dream homes.

Opting for custom home construction can certainly provide many advantages over buying an existing home. This can be particularly true in light of the trend toward multi-generational living. Many of the homes currently available on the open market are simply not designed to have multiple generations living under the same roof.

When you build your own home; however, you can custom design it to suit your precise needs. Not only can you incorporate features that are capable of accommodating aging parents and even boomerang kids, but you can also design the layout so that everyone has a space of their own.
