Unique Rooms to Include in Your Custom Home
When you choose to build a custom home, you’re not just creating a house; you’re shaping a space that reflects your lifestyle, priorities, and personality. Every square foot is intentional. Every detail is yours to decide. Unlike a pre-designed floor plan, a custom build allows you to ask the big question:
If I could design any room I wanted in my home, what would it be?
This is where the fun begins. Beyond the basics such as kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms, custom homes allow you to explore creative possibilities that enhance your daily life. Here are some unique rooms and spaces that can make your home truly one-of-a-kind.
A Natural Eye for Design
The owner, Ben Kitchen, is the reason BAC can create custom homes built around you. He has a unique ability to see a space…not just as it is, but as it could be.
Whether he’s reviewing plans or walking into a room for the first time, he notices the little things that make a big difference: a slightly shifted wall to open up a room, a better sightline from the kitchen to the living area, or a small tweak that makes a hallway feel less cramped.
It’s this kind of thoughtful approach that helps turn a house into a home perfectly suited to the way you live.
Beyond the Basics: Rooms That Elevate Daily Life
These are the spaces that make your home feel personal, luxurious, and truly yours. From everyday comforts to weekend indulgences, here are a few ideas to spark your imagination:
Theatre Room
Surround sound, tiered seating, and blackout shades bring the big-screen experience home for movie nights or binge-worthy weekends.
Entertainment Room
From game nights to sports viewings, this space becomes the go-to hub for fun with friends and family.
Home Office
With remote work here to stay, a custom office designed for focus and comfort is a must-have.
Home Library
Floor-to-ceiling shelves and a cozy chair create a quiet retreat from the digital world.
Home Gym
Skip the commute and design a workout space tailored to your routine—weights, yoga, cardio, or all three.
Wine Cellar
Store and showcase your collection with a stylish, temperature-controlled space perfect for entertaining.
Private Reading Room
A small, peaceful nook—especially off the primary suite—offers a personal hideaway.
Boutique-Style Walk-In Closet
Transform your closet into a boutique experience with custom shelving, lighting, and space to spare.
What Luxuries Matter Most to You?
The beauty of a custom home is that no two look the same. For some, it’s the theatre room or wine cellar that feels non-negotiable. For others, it’s a library or an expansive closet. The key is prioritizing the features that will bring the most value and joy to your everyday life.
Ask yourself:
Which spaces will I use daily?
Which luxuries will enhance how I rest, gather, or work?
What would truly make my home feel like mine?
Outdoor Living: The New Essential Luxury
In 2025, outdoor living spaces aren’t just nice to have; they’re one of the most in-demand features for custom homes. Covered porches, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and pools blur the line between indoors and outdoors.
Why does it matter?
Connection to nature: Being outside, even for a short time, boosts mood and reduces stress.
Everyday enjoyment: Imagine sipping coffee on your porch each morning or reading by the outdoor fireplace at night.
Memories with loved ones: Outdoor living creates natural gathering spaces, perfect for entertaining friends or enjoying family dinners under the stars.
The Only Limit Is Your Imagination (and Budget)
When it comes to designing a custom home, the possibilities are truly endless. The only limitation is your budget—and your imagination. From practical must-haves to indulgent luxuries, your home should reflect the way you live today and the lifestyle you want to enjoy for years to come.
So ask yourself again: If I could design any room I wanted in my home, what would it be?
Your dream home is waiting to be built…and it can be as unique as you are!
