If you’re thinking about building a new home, you’ll want to think outside the box. Your house is your personal space, and it should reflect who you are. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of unique construction ideas that will make your home stand out in any neighborhood. Starting with the entrance, all the way to bathrooms.
From bold colors to exciting designs, these ideas will help make your dream home come true:
Entrance
Using bold colors like red or blue for your entrance will create a solid first impression of your home. A glossy, reflective surface will make your house seem more modern and is a great way to add color contrast against the outdoor environment.
If you prefer something subtler, use an earth tone like brown or green for a no-fuss entrance with staying power. Moreover, an exciting door design is sure to catch the eye of passersby. Use fun designs such as a sunburst pattern for doors that open to the west so when you enter, your home is full of light.
Similarly, an inverted triangle design will make it feel more welcoming and protected from intruders if it’s located at the front of your house.
Hallway
Moving further into the home, you’ll see a hallway. A plain white hallway might not be too exciting on its own, but it’s easy to make your hallways stand out by adding in some design elements like wallpaper or paint of your favorite color.
You could also use a bold color for accents like the walls or carpeting to make it seem more vibrant and cheerful, while still maintaining an air of cleanliness.
For unique hallways, think about adding a geometric pattern or other design elements to the floor. This will make your hallway seem more contemporary and will be the first thing people fall in love with when they walk into your home.
Living room
A living room is where you and your family spend most of the time together. It should be the most comfortable room in the house, so make it warm, cozy, and inviting. You can do this by adding earth tones like brown or green for a simple color scheme that is easy to match any furniture with or an interesting color like bright pink or purple for a more bold look.
There are also many different types of furniture and decorating materials that can be used to make your living room feel unique such as an animal rug, a coffee table with interesting design elements, or beautiful pieces of art. Making sure you have plenty of natural light coming into the room will help keep it bright and airy while also adding a sense of peace.
Furthermore, an open floor plan will make your living room feel more spacious and give the illusion of a larger space.
Lastly, you can add a wood theme to your living room by incorporating items such as a vintage fireplace, wooden chairs, and hanging vines to create interest.
Ceilings
Some homes might have plain white ceilings, which can give the room a sterile or cold feeling. Make sure to coordinate these colors with other features of the house for a cohesive look throughout.
Using a color that contrasts against the wall like a bold hue or a dark, moody shade will draw attention to your ceilings and make them seem higher. A personal favorite is using an accent stripe of a different color near the baseboard as it’s subtle yet adds interest quickly.
You can also add interesting design elements such as geometric shapes, a stencil, or even a shape made from different materials. This will help make your ceilings feel more interesting and modern while still maintaining an air of elegance.
Walls
Many people think of the walls as just a background for pictures or other items. However, with the right color and design choice, you can create an interesting focal point in your home.
A simple way to accomplish this is by choosing a bold hue that is different from anything else in your house. This will help make it seem more modern and interesting, while still maintaining the warmth of a traditional home.
To give your house a vintage, woodland look, you can also add bricks on the wall. Forgoing traditional siding, bricks are a great way to add color and texture while also blending in with your home’s natural surroundings. The old brick style lends itself well to both modern and rustic homes alike.
Kitchen
The kitchen is the center of home-making, so it should be every bit as beautiful and functional as the rest of your house. You can add character to your kitchen by using a bold color or design element in the back of it with paint, wallpaper, tiles, or even rugs. You can use glass or fogged glass panels to give your kitchen a sleek, modern feel.
Another option is to add in different types of lighting to make it more interesting and functional (especially if you have a large space). However, before you decide to add more electric items and mess with the wiring in your kitchen wall, you may want to reconsider some things.
There are many cases in which a family’s switch panel is too full to accommodate new electric switches, and the only way to fix this problem is by breaking through more drywall. This can cause your kitchen to look even worse than before.
The best solution for avoiding this issue altogether would be installing electrical switches from trusted plastic injection molding companies or reputed electricians before painting the walls.
Bedrooms
One thing that’s usually overlooked when designing bedrooms is the use of different materials like wood or vinyl flooring. These give off light tones that will make the room seem brighter and more comfortable. For a clean, modern look you can also use:
- LED and neon lights
- a family tree or a gallery wall
- bean bags or reading chairs,
- hanging flower vases,
- or modern furniture like sliding door wardrobes to decorate your bedroom.
Bathrooms
One of the best ways to make your bathroom feel more unique is by adding in a material that doesn’t exist in any other room of the house. For example, you can add a marble or stone countertop if there’s nothing else in your house with this material. It will help make your bathroom feel more modern and luxurious without being too overbearing or difficult to maintain.
Of course, maximize the use of technology. Incorporating smart toilets such as the Swiss Madison, smart showers, and heated floors will offer convenience with luxury, and other things you need in a house.
