Read on to learn how to make it your own\nwith an array of exciting design options!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/campaigns\/1630\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/content\/campaigns\/media-43930.png\" alt=\"Start smart - take the first steps toward your dream home!\" class=\"wp-image-14662\" width=\"361\" height=\"111\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most exciting part of building a new home from\nthe ground up is the freedom you have to personalize it (or at least that\u2019s\nwhat many of our customers tell us!). But how do you get from bare drywall to dream\nhome?&nbsp; This is a common question,\nespecially among first-time homebuyers and those who are new to new\nconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of the home design process will hinge on the options your homebuilder offers and the design assistance they provide. Some builders offer only a handful of stock cabinet, countertop, fixture and flooring options. This can make the selection process easy, but you may find yourself sacrificing some of the key design elements you had hoped to incorporate in your new abode. Other builders, like Richmond American, allow you to select even the smallest details\u2014from the backsplash tile to the knob on your front door\u2014with the help of a professional design consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever your new home falls on the personalization\nspectrum, these three tips can help you get the most from your design center\nvisit, and from your homebuying budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Know what is included<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all homebuilders are created equal. What\u2019s standard\nfor one may be an upgrade for another. So, before you get wrapped up in\nflooring samples and paint swatches, ask your builder about the basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What appliance brands and colors are available?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What types and shades of flooring are included? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What countertop materials and colors can you choose from?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have a choice of finishes for your fixtures? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many paint color options do they provide?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know everything that\u2019s included in the base\nprice of your new home, you\u2019ll be able to start deciding which features are acceptable,\nand which you\u2019d prefer to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-lighting.png\" alt=\"Man looking at two light fixtures\" class=\"wp-image-15049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-lighting.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-lighting-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your homebuilder, commonly upgraded\nfeatures may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Backsplashes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cabinetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Countertops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flooring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more (e.g., landscaping, home theater system,\nsecurity system)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prioritize your wish list<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you have an unlimited budget, you\u2019ll probably\nhave to balance what you want against what you can afford in your new home.\nDon\u2019t let that spoil your fun! A good design consultant can often help you\nachieve the look you\u2019re after, even if your first choice isn\u2019t in your price\nrange. For example, there are many types of flooring available that mimic the\nappearance of hardwoods but cost a fraction of the price. Also, be sure to ask\nwhat kind of design assistance your builder offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a prioritized wish list before you design\nyour home at the design center will help keep you on track when you have to\nstart making those hard decisions. Identify which items are most important to\nyou, where you\u2019re willing to be flexible and what you can live without. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you head to your design center consultation,\nyou may want to do a little homework. Many of today\u2019s homebuyers seek\ninspiration from sources like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Builder\u2019s websites.<\/strong> Websites, such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RichmondAmerican.com<\/a>, typically showcase model home photography and even videos for a variety of different floor plans. Peruse these pics to get a better idea of the finishes and fixtures you\u2019re looking for in your new home. Tip: you may even want to take screen shots to reference at your design center appointment!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blogs. <\/strong>A quick online search will yield a variety of design blogs that can help you pinpoint your personal style and narrow down your new home wish list. A few to consider: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/allsortsof.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">All Sorts Of blog<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/design\/design-blog\/design\" target=\"_blank\">i heart HGTV blog<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/theinspiredroom.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Inspired Room blog<\/a> and, of course, Richmond American\u2019s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/category\/life-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">Homeward blog<\/a> (be sure to keep following this one for advice on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/tag\/moving-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">moving into your new home<\/a><ins>, <\/ins><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/tag\/decorating-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\">decorating tips<\/a> and more!).  <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social media. <\/strong>Social media sites such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pinsbyra\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/richmondamerican\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> and Houzz can provide a seemingly endless array of design ideas for homebuyers. If you want to plan out your new home down to the very last detail (they even have pics of switch plates, doorknobs and closet and refrigerator organization systems!), you can spend hours identifying your unique style and must-have features on social media. Again, be sure to take screen shots to refer to at your upcoming design center consultation.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Television.<\/strong> Instead of binge watching your favorite comedy, drama or reality TV show, check out a home-design inspired series such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/shows\/love-it-or-list-it\" target=\"_blank\">Love It or List It<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/shows\/property-brothers\" target=\"_blank\">Property Brothers<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/shows\/candice-tells-all\" target=\"_blank\">Candace Tells All<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.ca\/shows\/sarah-off-the-grid\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Off the Grid<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/shows\/fixer-upper\" target=\"_blank\">Fixer Upper<\/a>.

So, consider putting major\ndecisions like countertops, cabinets and built-in home technologies toward the\ntop of your list. Rolling a gourmet kitchen or deluxe bath into your initial\nhome loan could save you the hassle of remodeling a few years down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-1.png\" alt=\"Man and woman looking at several faucet options\" class=\"wp-image-15050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-1.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HG-blog-1-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strike the right style\/lifestyle balance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You want your new home to be equal parts form and\nfunction. So, as you weigh your options, keep livability in mind. Planning to\nhave young children in the house? Perhaps you should check the stain resistance\nof that countertop. Hardwood flooring may be appealing, but some types may not\nbe the best choice for pet owners. It\u2019s easy to fall in love with design\ndetails that don\u2019t match up to the wear and tear your family will dish out, so\nbe sure to ask questions about each product\u2019s durability, warranty and\nmaintenance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right preparation, expectations and attitude,\nyour design center visit can be an exciting, rewarding experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Building\na Richmond American home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Richmond American, we believe that every new home should be as unique as its residents.
