Custom Closets, Home Offices, and Entertainment Centers are Becoming Must Have’s for Today’s Homebuyer

New homebuyer trends are emerging every day in today’s real estate market. We are now emerging out of a world-wide pandemic, where for many, home became a place of sanctuary. As buyers hit the market in search of their new homes, they are increasingly looking for luxury elements such as custom closets, home offices, and built-in entertainment centers.

One of the biggest homebuyer trends, identified by both the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the National Real Estate Association (NREA), agree that walk-in closets or a fully custom dressing room are at the top of most homebuyer’s lists. California Closets are built to last a lifetime, they will never go out of style, or go down in value. Storage is a hot commodity, a completely custom closet that is elegant and functional includes a combination of hanging sections, shelving, drawers, and a variety of open and closed cabinetry. Integrating luxury elements such as LED lighting throughout the closet, glass shelving, glass doors, accessories such as jewelry drawers, belt, tie, and scarf racks, angled shoe shelving and more; only increases interest to potential buyers.

The home office represents one of the most wanted amenities for a new homeowner. A survey conducted by Upwork states that due to COVID-19, 61.9% of companies are planning more remote work now, and in the following years to come. This workplace trend is the new norm for many, leading to completely remote, or a hybrid workplace environment. To work efficiently from home, create a productive work atmosphere by having an abundance of upper and lower cabinets to corral clutter, cords and office supplies, cubby-like shelving to display collectibles, and a large counter surface areas. These are just some of the design details people look for in a home office when shopping for a new home.
