In part 2 of our series on the top interior design features for new homes in OKC, we share the final 6 most desired features to have in a new home. How many are on your must-have list?
Flex spaces
In today’s homes, flex spaces are almost as expected as bedrooms and living rooms. The benefit of a flex space is that it can be used for multiple purposes and can evolve into new uses as the family grows or interests change. A first-floor flex space can be a study for a few years, then a playroom or craft space. All the while, it can double as a guest room by adding a fold-out sofa.
Home office
More than 10% of people living in OKC work from home. For them, a home office is a major priority. It should have good lighting, a comfortable work area and plenty of storage. An office in an out-of-the-way part of the house such as a spare bedroom will be quieter for phone calls and Zoom meetings.
Landing spaces and drop zones
In most new homes, transition spaces from the garage to the home are more “landing space” than mud room. Rather than the muddy boots and dirty coveralls of yore, today’s families come home with backpacks, briefcases, coats and gym bags. They want space to contain all these items as well as to hang keys and drop the mail. A drop zone with built-in storage makes it easier to contain all these items neatly.
Smart home features
Built-in technology makes our homes more efficient and safer than ever before. We can manage heating, cooling and lighting from afar with apps on our phones. Smart alarm systems protect our homes and warn us of problems via our phones and on-site signals. Homebuyers increasingly look for smart features in new homes.
Fitted primary closets
Who doesn’t love a feeling of luxury in their home? A fully fitted walk-in closet with good lighting, display shelves, a dresser “island” and comfy seating makes the space feel like a room of its own. With the right details, your closet can be an appealing place to browse through clothing and take your time getting dressed.
Hardwood floors
Real wood is a timeless flooring material that’s comfortable, attractive and versatile. It doesn’t hold allergens and is available in a variety of styles and finishes. Vinyl wood-look floors appeal to buyers looking for the same features at a lower price point. Vinyl plank floors also have a durable finish that stands up to wear and tear from kids and dogs.
