Winter in Indiana can be a challenge, but with the right features, your custom home can become a warm and inviting oasis. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of cozy winter features to consider when designing your home. As you explore these ideas, be sure to review our floor plans and floor plan pricing to create a layout perfectly suited to your lifestyle and needs. These thoughtful additions will transform your space into a welcoming retreat, allowing you to fully embrace the beauty of the season from the comfort of your home. Here are six winter-ready features to inspire your cozy oasis:
Turn cold winter nights into moments of pure relaxation with a luxurious bathtub, jacuzzi, or steam shower. Unwind in warm, soothing water enhanced by bath bombs, salts, or oils. Elevate the experience by enjoying your favorite beverage, diving into a good book, or even streaming your favorite show—all from the comfort of your own spa-like retreat.
A fireplace is a timeless centerpiece that adds warmth and charm. Electric fireplaces are low-maintenance, while wood-burning options offer the comforting crackle of a real fire and a backup heat source during winter storms.
Say goodbye to icy tiles underfoot. Heated bathroom floors bring a touch of luxury and keep you comfortable during early mornings and post-shower routines.
Pair your warm floors with a heated towel rack for the ultimate comfort. Step out of the bath or shower into a toasty towel while keeping them fresh and dry.
Create a peaceful retreat with a reading nook or hearth room. Perfect for book lovers, this space offers a tranquil escape to enjoy your favorite stories while staying cozy indoors.
Ensure your home is prepared for the cold with high-performance insulation, energy-efficient windows and doors, HVAC systems, smart thermostats, and more. These essentials keep your home warm and reduce energy costs all season long.
