Designing your dream home is one of the most exciting parts of the new home construction journey! At Cornerstone Homes, we want your design appointment to be enjoyable, productive, and stress-free. To help you make the most of this important meeting, we’ve put together a few helpful tips so you can come in confident, inspired, and prepared.

1. Reflect on Your Current Home

Before stepping into the design center, take a few moments to think about your current living space.

• What do you love? Maybe it’s the clean look of your quartz countertops or the use of ceiling fans in each room.
• What would you change? Perhaps you value morning coffee time and would love a designated coffee bar, or have dreamed of lighter flooring to brighten your space.

Taking inventory of what works (and what doesn’t) in your current home gives us a solid foundation to build on. Our goal is to carry over the features you love and improve upon the ones you don’t.

2. Use Our Interactive Online Design Tool

We’re excited to offer you access to our online design tool, which will be sent to you before your appointment. This tool showcases every option we offer, complete with real-time pricing.
Here’s how to make the most of it:

• Browse finishes, fixtures, and upgrades at your own pace
• Create a wish list of must-haves and nice-to-haves
• Get a feel for how different choices impact your budget

Coming in with a personalized wish list makes your in-person appointment focused and efficient, so we can spend more time bringing your vision to life.

3. Don’t Hesitate to Ask Questions

We know this process can feel overwhelming, especially with so many exciting options available. That’s why Liza, our design consultant, is always here to help.

• Need help narrowing down selections? Liza’s got you.
• Wondering how your choices may affect your budget? Ask away.
• Not sure what pairs well with your style? She’ll offer expert guidance.

Whether you reach out before the appointment or bring your questions, Liza is here to ensure your design experience is fun, informative, and tailored to you.

Final Thoughts

Your design appointment is where your future home starts to take shape. By thinking ahead, exploring your options with our online design tool, and leaning on our team’s expertise, you'll be set up for a successful and exciting session.

We can’t wait to help you design the home of your dreams!
