Have you given up on searching for a home to buy and are now moving forward with building your dream home? If so, you will have plenty of decisions to make when it comes to the construction. Here is a list of several items you'll need to decide on.

The Flooring

The flooring used throughout your home is one thing that needs to be decided on earlier than later in the home construction process. However, know that you do not need to unify your entire home with one flooring material. You can mix things up by using carpeting in the bedrooms but hardwood throughout your living areas. This combination can work great, since you'll have a flooring material that feels good on your feet when you are often barefoot and a tougher flooring material in a place that sees heavy traffic.

The Kitchen

While you may not have control over every aspect of the kitchen, you'll definitely have a say in the countertop materials. Now is the time to pick the material you have always wanted to use for your kitchen counters, which can include springing for a more expensive material made out of natural stone. If you have control over the type of wood used for the cabinets, you'll most likely get a say in the color of the stain used so that it blends in well with the paint color on the walls.

The Bathroom

A bathroom has many aspects that can be customized in construction, including the type of bathtub you get and countertop sizes. You'll make some key decisions about wanting a double sink or a single sink with more counter space and deciding between a bathtub or a stand up shower.

The Hardware

There will be a unified set of hardware throughout the home so that all door knobs and handles use the same type of materials. While you may not have put much thought into what kind of door knobs you want, picking these out is another way to make your home feel customized to your liking.

The Finishings

There are many parts of a home that given finishing touches so that they look less plain. For example, this can include the type of molding used around the top and bottom of your walls. You'll need to put some thought into what kind of molding you want, since contractor grade material can look plain and boring.
