How to Future-Proof Your Home

May 28, 2025

If you’re looking for a Wasilla home builder to help you build your dream home, look no further than Hall Quality Homes. We work with you every step of the way to bring your vision to reality. As you build a brand new home, there are plenty of opportunities to build a home that combines form and functionality that will appeal for years to come. While you should always focus most on your needs and wants, these are some aspects to consider to help make your home adjust to changes in the future.

• Natural Light: Besides the financial savings that come from a home with plenty of natural light, there are health benefits, as well. Natural light generally improves your mood, so the inclusion of large windows and even skylights is something to consider seriously. Many of our homes already offer spectacular windows to make the most of the natural light.
• Kitchen Convenience: The kitchen is the hub of many homes so it’s important to have a space where the family can come together, while still having the space and function to prepare meals easily. Dine-in kitchen islands, walk-in pantries, quartz countertops for easy cleaning and maintenance, and induction cooktops are some of the features that buyers are looking for now and sure to want for years to come.
• Flexible Spaces: The need for rooms beyond the standard living room, dining room, and bedrooms became more obvious in recent years as more people were suddenly working from home. Flex rooms and bonus rooms are increasingly included on lists of must-have items in homes, because they allow a home to adapt more easily to changes. They’re not just for work, either, as they can be a great place to spend time with hobbies and family fun.
• Spa-like Bathrooms: Especially in primary suites, a spa-like bathroom isn’t just for comfort; it’s important for overall wellness. Having a place to relax and unwind and rejuvenate helps both physical and mental health. Luxury showers with built-in benches, free-standing soaking tubs, and heated flooring and towel racks all combine to create a place to take a private moment and escape daily stressors.
• Smart Home Technology: The use of technology throughout the home to help make things easier – and more cost efficient – is a big breakthrough in the past 15 years or so. You don’t have to have your whole home connected, but using appliances, such as dishwashers that adjust based on loads, refrigerators that track inventory, thermostats that can be programmed and controlled via your phone, and security systems that can be checked even outside the home make life more convenient, safe, and efficient.
