You need to understand what a custom home is before you can start thinking about how to build a custom home. A custom home is a home that is built to the specifications of the homeowner and is customized around their wants and needs. This makes the home unique in and of itself and it makes it much more expensive. The benefit of a custom home, though, is you can get it tailored to exactly what you want and need.

You will need to have a home designer that specializes in putting together a custom home for you. You will not be choosing from one of many floor plan options, but you may be using a few of them as a guideline to get an idea of how you want your custom home to be built and designed.

You will be able to cater to yourself instead of having one of those cookie cutter homes that looks just like everybody else's home in the neighborhood. Make the bedrooms large and any shape you desire. Give each bedroom a walk in closet and a private bathroom if that is what you want.

Speaking of bathrooms, you can put in dual sinks, a huge hot tub type of bath tub, and even a shower that will pour water down on you from every direction. You could even add a sauna or steam room to your master suite if you so desire.

You can also do french doors that open onto a balcony off of the master suite. This is a great idea if you are going to be overlooking the ocean or a lake. Also, you can add a small mini bar to your master suite so that you can enjoy a drink whenever you please.

Turn your basement into a game room with a full service bar, pool table, surround sound wired right into the walls for the big game, and anything else you like.

Make the kitchen better than what most restaurants have with a hooded grill, pizza style oven, stainless steel freezer, and an island for everybody to sit and watch you cook at. Also, add a climate controlled wine cellar to keep all your wines at the perfect temperature year round.
