A new custom Florida home by ICI Homes is built to your household’s needs and wants. And since sleep — and the importance of it — has become an important focus in today’s health and fitness worlds, each bedroom in a new custom Florida home can be crafted architecturally and design-wise to maximize its restfulness.
Many of us start by using sleep-tracking devices to analyze the duration and quality of our nightly snooze. Which means ICI Homes customers intent on maximizing their sleep regimen can optimize their surroundings for it.
Here’s how a new construction home can help with a good night’s sleep.
Key Takeaways
- A thoughtfully designed home can support better sleep by separating bedrooms from busy living areas and reducing everyday noise.
- Smart home features like programmable thermostats, automated window coverings, and lighting controls can help create an ideal sleep environment.
- Custom home design gives you the flexibility to personalize bedroom layouts and features to match your lifestyle and comfort preferences.
- Combining a well-designed bedroom with calming colors, comfortable furnishings, and good sleep habits can help create a more restful home.
Design for it
But when it’s shut-eye time, consider an ICI Homes floor plan with bedrooms sited away from more boisterous areas of the house.
Many ICI Homes owners’ suites reside on one side of a single-level floor plan, with other bedrooms and en suite or sharable bathrooms on the opposite side. In two-level floor plans, a second floor typically contains multiple bedroom-bathroom configurations or a suite — all dedicated to restfulness and sleep, far from main living areas.
Here’s another reason to examine floor plans: you don’t want bedrooms sharing walls with televisions, sound systems or the home bar. Even better, use the flex space that comes with every ICI Homes floor plan to buffer any bedroom with a home office or private lounging space.
Customize your sleep surroundings
ICI Homes has built new custom Florida homes all over the Sunshine State for more than 45 years. We’re also known as Florida’s Custom Home Builder and customization is our jam.
Don’t see a floor plan that fits your needs? Our designers and sales associates are happy to help you move walls and tweak existing plans to get the sleep scenario you seek.
Go even more granular by considering a smart-home hub for bedroom climate control, automated window coverings and thermostat settings. The latest in residential technology also can raise and lower lighting levels either at sunset or pre-set times.
Other helpful sleep tips
Avoid screens. When it’s time for bed, put the digital devices to bed too.
Stick with soothing colors. Vibrant primary colors like red tend to energize us — perhaps not the best color choice when powering down for the night. Soft, natural neutrals like white, warm gray, or perennial bedroom favorites such as light blue and green keep the color temperature down.
Chill out. Cooler nighttime temperatures help our bodies rest better. Along with lowering the thermostat at night, consider a ceiling fan to stir fresh air soundlessly around your bedroom.
Prioritize comfy beds and bedclothes. Quality mattresses, sheets, blankets and pillows are worth the splurge. A comfortable sleep surface gives you another relaxation advantage.
