Basic common sense suggests that we future proof our kid’s rooms taking into consideration what they will require from their bedroom before they leave for college.

Kitchen islands can work in small open plan spaces, like our feature image above, but are most impressive when done big.

We all get very excited when we enter a dual-aspect room. Having windows in two external walls maximizes light and views, but how do you decide what’s best for your new home?

Building your own home is stressful and expensive. Every dollar you can save and every mistake you can avoid is worth knowing about. That’s why we asked custom builders across America about the mistakes they see most often.
