8 Ways to Make Your Home Feel Custom and Unique

You know the difference — when you walk into a home and the space feels like a simple welcome versus a WOWcome! Wow factor is rooted in intentional design and impressive final touches. Designs layered with details are the ones that feel the most special and unique.

Here are 8 eye-catching ways to make your home feel custom:

1. Embellished Ceilings

Have you ever walked into a room and found yourself immediately looking up? It’s a clever way to experience a space—which explains why decorative ceilings are getting lots of pins and likes online these days! Dramatic ceiling details like vaulted beams, tray ceilings, and arched hallways move your eye upwards when entering a room, making the space appear larger and definitely more exciting.

2. Luxe Lighting

You no longer have to break the bank to get luxury looks when it comes to lighting, with more selections than ever available at various price points and in a wide range of finishes. Lighting can change the whole vibe of a space with fixtures fitting an abundance of aesthetics, like farmhouse, mid-century modern, traditional, etc. For minimal investment, lighting selections can have a high impact when it comes to transforming a room.

3. Hardware Upgrade

If you’re looking for a quick custom style upgrade, consider ways to elevate door and cabinet hardware. Similar to lighting, unique selections are widely available to fit any aesthetic and budget. Investing in specialty hardware is an affordable way to personalize a space and make your home feel custom.

4. Mudroom Makeover

If laundry day is your least favorite day of the week, you’re certainly not alone! Done up mudrooms and laundry spaces are increasingly popular in an effort to make household tasks and daily chores more manageable. Cabinets, cubbies, dog wash stations, custom coat trees, locker storage systems, and mail desks are all things to consider in building a fully custom “hub of the home” mudroom experience.

5. Wall Treatment

Striking wallpapers and wall textures like shiplap, tile, and faux brick all help to make a space feel special. Whether it is an accent wall or whole room, wall treatments are visually exciting, adding unique texture and depth to a design.

6. Custom Furnishings

Well-designed cabinetry and built-in shelving opportunities are an important consideration in planning a custom home renovation or build. From fireplace surrounds to media walls, kitchens to home office storage—custom cabinetry and shelving is both beautiful and useful. Avoid clunky furniture installations with a built-in storage concept for your space.

7. Posh Pantry Design

Custom design is about more than looks, it is about livability too. For a space to feel custom it should be designed in a way that reflects your individual lifestyle needs. A well-planned pantry space, with ample shelving and storage, is a great way to make a space unique to you! Up your pantry game by including a beverage fridge and breakfast bar for added customization and convenience.

8. Hire a Professional Designer

Nothing brings more return on investment in custom design than working with a professional interior designer. An experienced designer incorporates lifestyle wants and style preferences to build a space that precisely reflects their client’s needs.
