Choosing the right finishes for your custom home is an important decision. The finishes you choose together with our interior designer will have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your home, and they can also affect the value of your home.

Here are a few tips on how to choose the right finishes for your custom home when working with our interior designer:

  1. Consider your personal style. When choosing finishes, it's important to consider your personal style. What kind of look do you want to create in your home? Do you like a traditional look, a modern look, or something in between?
  2. Think about the function of each room. When choosing finishes, it's also important to think about the function of each room. For example, you might want to choose durable finishes for high-traffic areas, such as the kitchen and bathroom.
  3. Consider the climate. If you live in a hot climate, you might want to choose light-colored finishes that will reflect heat. If you live in a cold climate, you might want to choose dark-colored finishes that will absorb heat.
  4. Budget. The cost of finishes can vary greatly. It's important to set a budget before you start shopping so that you don't overspend.
  5. Research different finishes. Once you know what you're looking for, it's time to start researching different finishes. There are many different materials and styles to choose from, so take your time and find the finishes that you love.
  6. Samples. Once you've found some finishes that you like, we will provide you with samples so that you can see how they look in different light settings. This will help you make sure that you're happy with your choices.
