So you're looking to buy and build a new house. You've been paying close attention to all of the important details. You've already spent time locating the ideal lot and floor plan. You're reading tenders and choosing colors, but it's easy to ignore the minor details that will make your home simpler to live in daily.
Here's a list of minor details that will make a big difference in your new home and should not be overlooked throughout the planning and design stages:

Positioning Of Powerpoints

Pay careful attention to the routine everyday tasks that require convenient access to a power point. The kitchen is the greatest place to begin. Consider the appliances that never leave your kitchen counter: the kettle, toaster, microwave, and coffee maker. You may charge your phone in the kitchen. Do you intend to install a dishwasher? It is critical to ensure that you have adequate power points in the appropriate locations. It will make your kitchen more functional and user-friendly. Consider additional power points in other areas of the house, such as surrounding the TV, your alfresco area (think outside TV), over the bathroom sink (for electric toothbrushes, trimmers, hairdryers, and so on), or in the study. Consider how you'll use the area practically, your furniture layout, and where you'll require those plugs.

Lighting Design

Every room needs lighting, and you may have already considered installing downlights in your new home. When deciding where to position the lights in your home, consider the following factors:

  • Outside Laundry Door

Check for an exterior light above your laundry door. Install a sensor light that turns on at night to light your route to the backdoor safely.

  • Where You Keep Your Bins

Having lights near the bins and down the pathway to the curb will be a handy and safe addition that you'll thank yourself for later, whether you're bringing garbage bags out late at night or putting the bins out on bin night.

  • Frontal Spotlights

It's really handy to have the walk from the driveway to the front door illuminated at night, especially if you have a lot of steps to navigate.

  • Highlight Lights

These can offer a stylish touch to your decor. Feature lights, whether pendants over the kitchen island or up-and-down lights to provide a different aspect to your façade, maybe a terrific modern accessory.

  • Hallways

A common issue is needing more light in your hallway. Some corridors may require a skylight to let in natural light during the day, but you can also make your hallway a focal point by installing imaginative lighting to brighten the space at night.

Additional Outside Faucets

Don't take your home's outdoor faucets for granted. Here are a few ideas for adding extra taps outside that might make a big impact in terms of maintenance and enjoyment.

  • Your Outdoor Space

Consider how your outside space will be used. You could add an outdoor kitchen or shower later, or you'll put the grill there. Make sure there is enough plumbing for future projects. This will make the outside space more practical and easier to clean.

  • Front Or Back Row Extras

Most builders include at least one outdoor tap, but consider how you'll utilize it. If you need an extra external tap at the front or back of your house, install one now, and you won't be sorry later, especially if your back lawn is thirsty.

  • Near Your Garbage Cans

Having an extra tap near your dumpsters might be beneficial. Nothing is worse than having a stinky bin right outside your bedroom window, and a second tap will make bin cleaning quick and straightforward.

These little conveniences make life in your new home even more delightful. After all, you're constructing the house from the ground up! So why not make sure the little things are precisely tailored to you?
