When you’re building a new home, it helps to think beyond how each room looks and consider how it will work for everyday life.

Where will school bags and shoes go? Do you need space to work from home? Would an outdoor area that connects with the kitchen make entertaining easier?

Thinking about your routines early can help you create a home that works for your household now and into the future.
