1. A Private Reading Room
Even if you don’t have that much space to work with, you can still include a reading room for your new home.
Many people are transforming large closets into a reading room. They line the walls with shelving and add a bench to sit in. These are perfect for studying and getting away from the world.
2. Treehouse Style Bed
If you have kids and want to surprise them with a custom room, adding a treehouse (inside) is a great idea!
Adding a loft in a corner of the room with ropes and ladders to climb up will surely get your kids in bed. You can contact a professional for custom home renovations like this.
Caution: you may have monkeys jumping on the bed with this treehouse design but it is one of the coolest things to build!
3. Mudroom
How many times have you told everyone to keep their coats and muddy shoes at the door?
With the help of a mudroom, you can designate an area to drop off your outdoor wear. You should include plenty of hooks in the room and add shelving and cabinets for storage.
Many people also add a bench in their mudroom to place shoes underneath and to sit on when getting ready.
4. Walk-In Closet
If you have been dreaming of an impressive walk-in closet with storage space and mirrors, now is your chance to make it happen!
If you are custom building your home, including a walk-in closet can offer space for clothing, shoes, and purses. Use this extra storage room for anything you would like. Some people suggest putting up several mirrors to check out your style.

Building a cover over a patio can be a great addition to any home and allow you to watch storms without getting wet. You can still grill under most patio covers but always use caution when doing so.
Those that live in hot and humid areas can get ceiling fans and screens to keep bugs and heat away.
