We all wonder where would I live if I won the lottery. The truth is that most people choose to find a new home where they already are. With your lottery winnings, you can start from scratch to design your dream home from the ground up.
If you are the creative type you can sketch out a rough draft of what you want your new home to look like. This is the time to start visualizing it so that you can get a clear picture of what you want. Once you do, you will be well on your way to having the home of your dreams.
When designing the home don’t just think about what your life is like now. Think about what it will be in the future as well. For example, if you may have elderly parents or children living in your home in the years to come, keep this in mind when you are sketching your designs.
Do you already own the land where your dream home will be built? This is also something to take into consideration when planning it. The features of the lot where the house will go dictates what you can and can’t have. You will also have to look at the lot in order to determine which direction you want the house to face in. Any sloped land will affect your final plans as well.
Since you don’t need to stick to a tight budget when you are a lottery winner, you have a lot of freedom in choosing the features for your new home. The best way to do this is to determine which features are a must-have and which ones you can live without.
One thing you want to pay attention to in the design of your home is its lighting. Skylights provide an excellent way to have at least one room in the house that gets natural sunlight in. This perfect for a kitchen or living room. When it comes to indoor lighting, you will want to plan carefully. The lighting helps set the mood in your home, so you can dictate how it feels.
These are just a few of the things to think of when building your dream home. Your plans should include the outside of the house as much as the inside. If your dream home is to be built on the water, an outdoor patio and/or kitchen lets you maximize the space you have and gives you a great way to entertain guests.
Only you can decide what you will put in your dream home. For everyone, the design is different. Your home should reflect your personality and provide you with a place where you always feel comfortable. When you design your dream home you will find that it is the culmination of everything you have ever wanted to have in your life. This is something everyone hopes for.
