You build your dream home and you have everything well planned, or at least you think. Have you thought about all the details? Budget and poor planning can lead to catastrophic failure. During construction planning, you must consider the project from many angles. You must consider your lifestyle now and in the future. You need to consider family planning – Is that your family will be bigger? Or your children will soon leave the nest? If you have overnight guests regularly? Poor design choices can not only make it uncomfortable, but downright unhealthy home. Let's take a look together on the 10 most common mistakes you can avoid blow.
1 Systems of heating, ventilation and air conditioning in construction planning
Poor planning here can cause problems with moisture and mold. You should also consider the size of the plants. If they are too small, the Chamber can not effectively cool and warm. You'll regret it in the cold winter and hot summer months. Conversely, those that are too large, the use of too much energy.
2 Errors in the planning of construction – poor planning of space
Planning and design are crucial. Enough storage space is needed, but be careful when you are planning it. Do you really need a large walk-in, or it can be installed in an alcove in the room? Pay attention to where the furniture will be placed. Do you want a closet for winter coats in the lobby or you can store it in the closet in the bedroom?
3 A poor overall planning
When designing your new home, you need to consider your lifestyle and habits. How long you plan to stay in this house? Do you need to plan security for small children around the house? Or you need to think about your needs later in life, when you reach retirement age? Predict the long-term that you will need in the future.
4 Rooms poorly lit
Lamps and sockets should be available everywhere. As the window – as large as possible and in every room. Natural light, if possible, should be the main source of light. Consider the construction of skylights.
5 unused space
Designing a playroom or gym in the house seems tempting, but you will really use this space? What good is a gym where the treadmill is used as a coat rack? Instead, plan a home office that doubles as a guest room at the same time.
6 Planning laundry
The laundry room with washer and dryer must be located relatively close to the bedroom. We prefer the upstairs room cleaning, but many expect in the basement. It is an individual decision.
7 The planning room
The room should be as far as possible from noise and traffic. The room should not be close to or above the garage, if you want to sleep peacefully. If your house is on one floor, the room should be planned, ideally at the end of the house, back from the garage. The bedroom should ideally not share a wall with the central lounge.
8 home cooking
What happens when you have your hands full with groceries and other purchases, but must go through the whole house, to let in the kitchen? The location of the kitchen is not reasonable. It would be better if it is near a garage or the back door, and the dining room and lounge.
9 Garage
It is best to have the garage on the ground floor and close to the hallway and kitchen. If the garage often as the main railway station looks – with people constantly coming and going, with dirty sportswear, heavy backpacks, bags, and dust and dirt on the kitchen and could be limited.
10th Do not let anyone influence your decisions!
You know what your family is best for you. Professionals can make suggestions, but they can not tell you what you should do and what you need.
