How to plan the rooms

Have you already checked where your new custom home will be? Then, it’s time to decide on which room will face towards which feature! For example, suppose you have a running stream along with your home. Yet, it’s better to plan your bedroom near it while talking about enjoying nature’s beauty every morning. Or you can think of facing the windows to the best views or a steep slope!

Prioritize to be functional!

When you have a tight budgetary boundary, put a break on your luxurious fancies. Or else you would end up breaking your bank soon! Instead, consider having an open floor plan between the living room dining space and kitchen. It can make your home more functional while luxurious as well.
