Garage Storage in New Homes | El Paso Home Builders

The garage in new homes can very quickly become cluttered! But there are several ways to organize and store everything. HGTV gives their tips on easy garage storage.

To help divert attention, "hang coat hooks for jackets and hats...To draw the eye away from clutter, turn the wall into an eye-catching space." How about a different painted wall to be used to hang pictures?

There are also plenty of options for storage. "There are lots of options at various costs for garage shelving. The most crucial point is to provide enough shelving to store your items but to not cover every wall."

And the wall isn't the only place that can be used for storage. The ceiling can also be utilized! Try adding hooks to the ceiling to hang bikes or other sports equipment. And if you just want to hide everything for a clean look, a "humidity-controlled closet" in your new homes is a good option!

If your new home has a more traditional look, white subway tile looks clean and consistent. And if you are looking to add more design elements to your kitchen, consider mixing different types of tiles, a bright colored tile, or even a textured-heavy metal backsplash.

Custom Lighting Fixtures | El Paso Home Builders

Lighting can help set the atmosphere of a room in new homes. And the type of fixture you choose can help give homes a custom touch that defines your style and taste. Lighting fixtures do not always need to be placed in their usual settings. For example, add some elegance to your bathroom with a sparkling chandelier. And if you prefer chandeliers in their more traditional home settings, like a dining room, choosing one that defines your style can add a focal point in the room.

Some other custom light features that can be added to new homes are colored LED lights. Installed under your cabinets, they can add a unique look to your kitchen. And of course, lighting inside the cabinets is a practical touch, yet custom touch. 

And a simple way to easily adjust the ambience of a room is with a dimmer. Dimmers are inexpensive and can be installed in the entire home or in each individual room.

There are several new home builders in El Paso, but if you are looking for the top quality builder who can provide you with new and custom homes, outstanding workmanship, and excellent customer service, look no further than Pointe Homes. We can help build your dream home!

Ceiling Fans | El Paso Home Builders

Summer is winding down, but in El Paso, it's still warm out there! Stay cool in your new home during these last days of summer with unique custom ceiling fans. A ceiling fan can make the nights more comfortable and at the same time, create a focal point in the bedroom. 

The rotation and position of your fan new homes is also very important. According to Home Tips, "During the summer, using a ceiling fan in conjunction with an air conditioner will allow you to set the thermostat higher without a noticeable difference in comfort...By raising the thermostat, you can save up to 30% on your air-conditioning bills...in the winter, a fan can re-circulate warm air that naturally rises in a room and is trapped at the ceiling. All you do is turn it on in the reverse direction."

All new homes are built differently. Some have high ceilings, some have lower ceilings. If your ceiling fan blades are too close to the ceiling, they will move less air. "Be sure the blade tips are at least 24 inches from walls or sloping ceilings...For ceilings taller than 8 feet, hang the fan from a drop rod so that it’s down where it can be more effective."
