Finishes shape the personality of your home. They also affect schedule. Cabinets, flooring, tile, lighting, and plumbing fixtures often come with lead times. A clean selection strategy keeps decisions calm and keeps the build moving.
Start With the Big Drivers
- Cabinets and countertops
- Flooring type and transitions
- Tile and grout selections
- Plumbing fixtures and shower systems
- Lighting plan and controls
- Interior doors, trim profiles, and paint colors
Pro tip: Choose cabinets and plumbing fixtures early. These items often influence rough-in placement and schedule timing.
Use a Simple Decision Order
- Lock the floor plan and window placement
- Choose exterior colors and siding style
- Confirm kitchen layout and cabinet style
- Select flooring and tile
- Choose fixtures and lighting
- Finalize paint and hardware
Keep the Home Cohesive
Pick a consistent tone. Warm wood, cool modern, classic farmhouse, mountain clean. A clear theme prevents visual clutter and reduces decision fatigue.
