Making Your Own Personal Space Within Your New Home

Categories: Blog

November 30th is National Personal Space Day, a day dedicated to honoring the need for boundaries and personal sanctuaries in our lives. What better way to celebrate than by envisioning how your new home can become the ultimate haven for you and your loved ones!


At Chesapeake Homes personalization is key. Creating personal spaces within your home is one of the most fulfilling aspects of designing your dream living environment. Whether it's turning a spare room into a cozy nook for reading, making the loft/media room a serene workspace, or using a zoom office as a vibrant craft room, here's how to make your new house feel like home with perfectly tailored personal spaces. 


Step One: Define what "personal space" means to you

Everyone's idea of personal space is unique to who they are. Think about how you enjoy unwinding after a long day. What aspects help you recharge or allow you to pursue new hobbies? Do you work from home and just need your own dedicated space throughout the day? All these questions are important in understanding what you need in your home to make sure it gives you the refreshment you need. This could even just be upgrading to our deluxe owner's bathroom to make sure that you get that relaxing spa-like environment that you deserve!


Step Two: Plan your layout with our agents

When building with Chesapeake Homes from the ground up, our onsite agents are dedicated to making sure you get the home of your dreams. Our agents will work with you on what structural options are available within the floorplan chosen. Take a look at our interactive floorplans throughout our website to start building out your ideal floorplan and see what upgrades and options are available in your community and floorplan.


Step Three: Design and personalize to match your taste

One of the most exciting portions of building with Chesapeake Homes is getting to design your interior features at our state-of-the-art Design Gallery. Our certified designers will guide you through the process and help you pick out the backsplash, the flooring, the carpeting, the tiles, the cabinetry, and the fixtures to make sure every space in this home is your favorite.


Step Four: Decorate anyway you want

Once you have your home whether you built from the ground up or chose one of our designer-curated homes, now is the time to take that space or area you have chosen for yourself and decorate it anyway you want. Don’t be afraid to try something new, add a pop of color, or do what you know you like best. Remember this is your personal space!


Step Five: Don't forget outdoor spaces

Personal spaces don’t have to be confined to the indoors. A new home gives you the opportunity to create an outdoor sanctuary as well. Adding on our outdoor fireplace and covered porch could be an option or if the outdoors is not your thing, but you want the warmth of a summer day, consider a sunroom.



Building a new home is about more than just the structure – it’s about creating a lifestyle that supports you and your loved ones. On this National Personal Space Day, imagine how your new home can help you carve out the perfect corner of peace, creativity, and productivity.
