You know deep down inside that you want a Timber Frame Home, but you’re not exactly sure where to start. First, you need to find a designer, but now the question becomes, do you use a stock floor plan that’s provided by your selected Timber Frame Home Construction company or do you use their custom design services and make it truly one of a kind, change the layout and make it your own?

Building a custom timber frame home is all about incorporating architectural details that will create a comfortable design that suits your lifestyle. So when you sit down to plan your perfect dream home take a few moments to consider what kind of spaces you’ll need to fit your needs. Here are a few ideas that can really make your timber frame home special.

If you have enough space and money you may want to add a wine cellar. Even if your not a connoisseur, a wine cellar is a great conversation piece when hosting a get together. If your wine room was big enough you could even hold a small intimate wine tasting event for your friends. Just remember even if your turning an extra closet into a wine room, the key is temperature control. Invest in a air conditioner that is made for wine cellars, a normal home air conditioning unit cannot maintain the constant 55 degree temperature needed for storing your wine, without icing over.

Maybe your a music lover or a movie buff. Why not let the kids come in from the garage and practice in a specially designed music room. Or maybe you want to have the gang over for a movie night in your new home theater room. Whichever way you go, acoustics are going to be a big priority. Check with your local acoustic consultant to see what your options are, maybe you will need a cork floor to help improve the sound quality. Using wall coverings like foam panels will help to sound proof the area. Your plans should always include extra outlets, you may need them to plug in equipment like amps, recording gear, TV’s, Computers and any other electrical device you may need.

How about a hobby room? Rather than ruining your kitchen table or making a mess in the living room, why not plan to build a hobby room? A hobby room can go anywhere, spare room, the basement, or even the garage. If you plan on using the hobby room for a while built in storage is a good option. There are so many things you can do, a sewing room, scrap-booking room, crafts, RC airplanes and cars or even fly tying.

There are so many ways that you can make your Timber Frame Home unique. Let your imagination be your designer, that and your pocketbook, but take the time and make it your own because the memories will last a lifetime.
