Customizations take a new home from typical to tailor-made.
People love personalized items. Why? Personalization makes people feel special.
That was especially true for Laverne on the iconic 1970s TV show, Laverne and Shirley. The cursive “L” sewn in the upper left of her tops became Laverne’s trademark. And, although most people aren’t interested in having their first initial monogrammed onto their clothing, that “L” served its purpose – it made Laverne memorable.
Personalization, also known as customization, is like someone giving you a fitted jacket with your company’s logo on the right chest and your first name embroidered on the other side. There’s no doubt: That customized jacket was made for you.
In contrast, impersonalization is like someone giving you a one-size-fits-all coat with no logo or name. Obviously, there was little consideration given to your preferences or needs. Consequently, you won’t be excited to sport that ill-fitting, generic coat anytime soon. It’s just not you.
So, if personalization is what you crave, why settle for ordinary when it comes to your dream home?
Here are 10 popular customizations you might love in your new home:
