At AR Homes® BCB Construction, we stay ahead of the curve by embracing the latest trends in new home design. The landscape of home design is ever-changing, continuously evolving to meet the modern homeowner’s needs and preferences. 

In this article, we explore three exciting trends that are transforming the way homeowners live: the ongoing debate of bathtub vs. no bathtub in the owner’s bathroom, the rising importance of utility connections in the owner’s suite, and the revolutionary concept of home delivery centers. 

Bathtub vs. No Bathtub

The debate between having a bathtub or not has been a hot topic among our customers. While traditional bathtubs were once a staple of the owner’s suite, many homeowners now prefer spacious showers. This shift is driven by the desire for a more modern and luxurious bathing experience, allowing for features like rainfall showerheads, built-in benches, and steam options. 

Opting for an owner’s suite without a bathtub can save space, making the area appear larger and simplifying cleaning. This makes it easier to maintain a tidy and organized space. However, not having a bathtub may limit bathing options, especially for those who enjoy soaking in a tub or have young children who prefer bath time. 

Including a bathtub offers a luxurious and relaxing bathing experience, ideal for unwinding and relieving stress. It also provides versatility with various types of tubs. However, bathtubs require more space and may involve more effort to maintain. 

When working with our customers, we always consider personal preferences, available space, and budget to help select the right type of tub for their owner’s suite. 

Utility Connection to Owner’s Suite

The integration of utility connections within the owner’s suite offers numerous benefits, enhancing daily routines with increased efficiency and convenience. Homeowners have direct access to essential services like water, electricity, and internet connectivity, saving time and effort whether preparing for the day or winding down at night. 

With smart home technology becoming more common, this feature allows seamless integration with smart devices and systems, enabling homeowners to control temperature, lighting, and energy consumption from the comfort of their suite. 

Our customizable floor plan designs include options for utility connections in the owner’s suite, providing the convenience, efficiency, and modern features our customer’s desire.

Home Delivery Centers

Home delivery centers are becoming increasingly popular in custom homes due to their convenience and security. These centers provide a secure location for receiving packages, addressing the prevalent issue of package theft, especially with the rise of online shopping. 

This trend gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains popular due to its benefits. Home delivery centers are weatherproof, protecting packages from heavy rain and ensuring deliveries are safe and undamaged. 

Recognizing this demand, we integrate secure, convenient, and weatherproof home delivery centers into our designs, helping homeowners seamlessly manage their packages. This integration meets the market’s evolving needs for modern, efficient living solutions in Panama City, FL. 

At BCB Construction, we are dedicated to incorporating innovative design trends into our custom homes, ensuring they meet the highest standards of convenience, luxury, and quality.
