Creative Additions for Customized Homes

Unique Flooring

Tile and carpet both have a lot to offer in terms of creativity. They can be colorful or neutral, patterned or uniform. The floor can be a creative statement in your bathroom, kitchen, entryway, or another room.

Built-in Furniture

Built-in furniture is a staple feature of the craftsman home. Window seats, mudroom seating, and built-in shelving and cabinetry are all welcome additions in many homes for their practicality and sturdy look and feel.

Custom Interior Windows

If you have two connecting rooms that could become brighter and more connected, adding an interior window in a wall is one way to do it. It could be between a kitchen and a living room or a bedroom and a master bath. An interior window is just one architectural feature one could add.

Custom Interior Doors

You can find a multitude of interior door types today, from pocket doors to expanded entrances between rooms. Who says you can’t add saloon doors, a secret bookcase door, or an arched door in your home?

Unique Staircases

Staircase designs in floor plans generally offer a high level of practicality already, but it is possible to customize them or add unique staircases to a loft or another floor. Small ways to customize staircases are through the stair material and the stair railing material.

Custom Fireplaces

A fireplace offers heating even if the power goes out in your home in winter. Even in Maryland, an extra heating source can be a huge benefit. Custom fireplace inserts, wood-burning stoves, and gas-powered fireplaces are all options.

Subtle Layout Changes

Shifting walls, doors, and windows can be small changes that make a huge difference. With Ameri-Star Homes, you can make these kinds of changes without compromising on your home’s structural quality.
