Custom Home Building Process Video #2: Design Selections

At Custom One Homes, our goal is to build our clients a home that suits their unique personality, specific needs, and lifestyle. From start to finish, our team works with you to design every aspect of your home from the smallest of details to the biggest. Handing you the keys to your dream home is the driving force behind why we do what we do.

Throughout the past year, we’ve begun sharing more of our client’s stories by providing a behind the scenes peek of what it’s like to build with Custom One Homes. We’ve loved sharing these looks into our building process and are excited to continue to do so with our newest video series in collaboration with the Rippentrop family.

In the first video of the series we met the Rippentrops and learned about their family and why they chose to work with Custom One Homes. Darin and Erin are successful business professionals with two elementary school-aged kids. With a busy professional and family life, Darin and Erin are in the process of creating a home that reflects their personalities while doubling as a relaxing retreat.

Now, follow along as the Rippentrops begin the design process in the second video of this series. You’ll find out more about the style they envision for their new home and see how our team guides them through the design process. From picking floor coverings to light fixtures and everything in between, you’ll get an inside look at what it’s like to design a home with Custom One Homes.

Interested in learning more about how we can create a home that reflects your unique personality? We’d love to answer any questions you may have, so don’t hesitate to contact our team.

Giving Back: Annual Golf Tournament for Make-A-Wish

Our team had the distinct pleasure of hosting our annual golf tournament fundraiser in July. It was a beautiful summer afternoon for a little healthy competition and team bonding for a good cause!

We’re thrilled to report that alongside our dedicated crew of volunteers, fantastic trade partners, and generous presenting sponsors, Contract Interiors, and Twin City Fireplace & Stone Co, we raised $45,000 for Custom One Charities in support of Make-A-Wish!

Home Office: Building Space to Your Style

Working from home has become the norm for many of our clients. As offices and careers are increasingly flexible interior plans have had to follow suit.

The typical home office needs of our clients range from those who work exclusively at home to family-friendly command centers.

We’ve created traditional studies that project formal professionalism to open, casual offices to tucked away desk nooks suited for everything from studying to crafty projects  – we’ve designed it all!

Our favorite ways to customize home offices with a more distinct style are bold paint, graphic wallpaper, accents lights, floating shelves, and sophisticated statement furniture.

When it comes down to it, just like any other part of your home the office should reflect your specific lifestyle. If you’re looking for office inspiration, take a peek below at a few of our favorite client’s offices.

Lighting Trends: The Jewelry of the Home

One of our team’s perennial favorite topics of discussion is design trends. We love talking about what’s new in our industry, and what styles we’re seeing our clients pursue. Our favorite interior trend on the rise? Accent lighting!

The era of lifeless fixtures that merely blend into each room is long gone. Lighting now is all about adding a big or bold flash of style. We like to think of lights as the jewelry of the home; they’re a fun, standout accessory that lends a sense of personality to any room.

Overall, we’re seeing more and more homeowners select large-scale, glitzy, and dramatic light fixtures. However, beyond making a statement, lights are also an excellent way to balance spaces.

Whether it’s a different texture, color, pattern, or material that’s needed, accent lights are the perfect solution. Like the punctuation that structures a sentence, lighting can guide your eyes through a room or floorplan, seamlessly connecting separate design ideas.

Scroll through the images below to see our how our designers approach lighting throughout various projects. We think you’ll find their choices interesting and informative!

Spaces Magazine Home Feature

Building a new home from the ground up is an all-encompassing experience. No matter which side you may be on, contractor or homeowner, there are endless choices to make and details to process.

When Custom One’s president, Todd, began crafting a home for his own family, he knew he had a rare opportunity: experiencing his company as a client. The decision was a no-brainer, Todd jumped at the chance to create his new home with Custom One!

As an expert in the remodeling industry, Todd had an idea of what current materials and trends interested him most. However, as a father and husband, he also weighed which features and finishes most suited his family.

From the separate “wing” designed as the perfect hangout for his teenage sons to the security and shower systems with customized settings for him and his wife, Todd had a blast building their modern Woodbury home!

Want to dive deeper into Todd’s design process and see more photos of his breathtaking home? Click on the PDF links below the gallery to read the full article from our friends at Spaces Magazine – they did a fantastic job!
