5 Custom Home Trends For Summer From Indianapolis Home Builders

With summer in full swing, we wanted to dig into the custom home trends that make your house even more spectacular in the summer time. Indianapolis home builders have been incorporating many of these designs and features into homes for a while, but they all go perfectly with the summer weather. From cool evenings to hot summer afternoons, you’ll love these features in your new custom home.

1. Outdoor Dining Rooms

What better way is there to enjoy the outdoors than with a family dinner or by entertaining guests on the patio? Complete the bbq or grilling experience with a dining room table, chairs, and built-in shelving. An outdoor dining room is your place to entertain guests with all the amenities of an indoor dining room. Don’t think about the traditional glass-topped patio table. Think rustic farmhouse table or modern metal table. Get outside the box and enjoy eating outdoors. 

2. Home Theatre

We know, this isn’t really anything new and it’s been trending for a long time, but escaping the summer heat into your private home theatre sounds pretty amazing, right? Whether you put your home theatre in the lower level of your home or in the bonus room, it’ll be the perfect place to relax on a hot day, enjoy some snacks, and watch your favorite movies. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the outdoors and watch a movie, have Indianapolis home builders design an outdoor theatre with built-in seating and a screen that you can use whenever you want.

3. Outdoor Living Spaces

Dining rooms aren’t the only rooms making their way outside. Everything from the kitchen to the family room is going out. An outdoor family room means a fireplace, TV, and comfortable all-weather seating that you can enjoy for the entire summer. Send your kids outside to watch TV when you have friends coming over or curl up on the outdoor couch on a breezy night and watch a fire slowly burn.

4. Splash Pads and Fountains

Do your kids love splashing around in the summer? Then they’ll love a splash pad and water fountain in the back yard. Putting these next to your pool will just make your summer even more fun. The kids will spend hours swimming in the pool and running through the jets of water from the splash pad.

5. Lower Level Bar With Walkout Patio

A bar in the lower level just makes sense. It’s the perfect place to entertain guests, pour drinks, and keep your favorite beers on tap. Make the space just like your favorite bar or tasting room. If you really want to make your bar the perfect place to to hang out in the summertime, then have Indianapolis home builders install doors leading to your backyard or patio. You can grab a drink and head out to the pool or catch up with your friends in your outdoor dining room.
