Creating the Ultimate Entertaining Space in Your Custom Home

When designing a custom home, you are probably thinking first and foremost about how it will serve you and your family for the years ahead. If you can create a home that has enough space for everyone – and accommodates the things you like to do – that will be a huge success.

 

But what about when you want to have people over for a party? It’s also worth thinking about developing an entertaining space in the home while working with custom home builders on this project. Below, this article will dive into some of the basics around this idea and how it might come to life. And, when you are ready to get started, it’s as simple as placing a call to R & K Custom Homes to learn more about the possibilities.

 

Start with an Open Layout

Without a doubt, the best thing you can do with the design of your home if you want to entertain guests is to go with an open layout. Having too many walls in the floor plan simply clogs up the space and makes it difficult for people to interact with one another. And, as an added bonus, even when you aren’t entertaining, you will love the way the whole house feels open and welcoming, and this kind of design will make the home feel bigger than the square footage may indicate.

 

Build a Big Kitchen

It is a universal rule of entertaining that people are naturally going to gather in the kitchen. It’s not exactly clear why this is the case – but it’s true nonetheless. Instead of trying to fight against this natural tendency, simply embrace it and plan on building a big, open kitchen in your new custom home. A large island in the middle of the kitchen with bar seating on one side would allow people to gather without getting in the way of the cook, who is busy finishing off a delicious meal.

 

Indoor-Outdoor Living is a Must

Even in the biggest custom homes, it can be difficult to have enough room for everyone to gather and spend time together. Fortunately, living in a great climate like we have in the Greensboro area, outdoor living and entertaining is a great option. So, you can design your house in a way that flows nicely from the indoor living spaces out to a patio or deck, so the party can just as easily be taken outside. Like the point made earlier on the idea of an open-concept design, having a great outdoor living space is something that will also pay off when you aren’t having a party and just want to enjoy an evening out under the stars.
