Custom Home Style Preferences
When thinking about general architectural style for your custom home, consider the following:
Ensuite
Once considered something of a luxury, en-suite bathrooms are now increasingly common features in homes of all different shapes and sizes.
Exterior Siding
When considering what exterior option is best for your home consider elements such as durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. If you are looking for a way to add curb appeal to your home, vertical siding, vinyl shakes, or stone veneer may be something you are looking for. Whether it is used as an accent or as the main cladding, it can take your home exterior design to the next level.

Kitchen
Having a functional kitchen layout is vital to enjoying your luxury custom home and keeping your life and family running smoothly. A few kitchen design features to consider include, appliance placement, electrical outlets, counter space, pantry location, cabinet height, and building with materials that are easy to clean.
Stairways
Whether a big spiral staircase is right for you might depend on whether you love large open spaces. Some houses also have outside staircases that lead up from the street level to the entrance or up above the house to a garden, swimming pool, or other outdoor areas.
Wall Space
Do you want a lot of open wall space, perhaps to display art? Wall art creates a finishing element that brings the room's furniture, decor, lighting, and color palette harmoniously together. With the right wall art, your room will go from functional to functional and fabulous.

Windows
Windows provide our homes with light, warmth, and ventilation. What kind of windows are you looking for in your custom home? A lot or a few? Maybe you are searching for low maintenance windows with high energy efficiency and a wood interior?
Roofing
Your roof provides you with defense against wind, rain, snow, hail, and heat. When picking your roof, whether it be flat, pitched, asymmetric gable, or multiple gables, consider your external environment.
Ceilings
When exploring ceiling options, think about architectural features. The material used for a ceiling should be appropriate for the room's purpose. Some common ceiling choices include drywall, plaster, wood, tile, and metal.

Getting Started
Three key areas to considering when starting to plan your custom home are your home goals, ideal home size, and lifestyle.
Home Goals
At the start – go big on your custom home goals. As things move forward you can adjust these ideas to the budget, zoning, timeframe, land, and other realities that come up along the way. Think about what rooms you value the most in your home, and begin to prioritize the desired features of your custom home in order of importance.
Home Size
One of the first steps in designing a custom home is figuring out how much space you have to work with. Deciding how large your home should be can be determined by a number of factors. Some of these factors include the height and square footage requirements, how many stories you want, and room sizes. To get started, consider the following: How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Are you looking to have a home office, mudroom, dedicated laundry room, garage, basement, or children's playroom?
Your Lifestyle
This is your one of a kind custom home – so you can design it for your lifestyle! Whether you are a rancher, grain farmer, outdoor enthusiast, or artist, we can make your home work for you. If you are a busy sports family you will need space for equipment and at-home practice facilities. Or maybe you are a lake lover looking for the perfect lake cottage with big windows overlooking your lake oasis. Whatever the case, Nelson Homes has a solution.
Special Features
There are a number of additional features that can be added to your home including fireplaces, jetted tub, media room, heated floors, and a central vacuum system.
