At
Ace Construction of Louisiana, we know that your home should do more than look beautiful—it should support your family's everyday life. For young parents, that means thoughtful design choices that offer comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind as your kids grow.
Whether you're
designing a custom home from the ground up or choosing one of our well-appointed
spec homes in Livingston Parish, here are seven must-have features to consider for your forever family home:
1. Open-Concept Kitchen & Family Room
Keeping an eye on your kids while cooking dinner? No problem. An open-concept layout creates seamless sightlines between the kitchen and living areas, so you're never out of the loop. It also makes everyday moments—like homework at the kitchen island or movie night on the sofa—easy to share.

2. Mudroom with Cubbies & Drop Zones
Say goodbye to backpacks on the floor and shoes by the door. A mudroom with built-in cubbies gives every family member a designated space for their gear. It's the perfect buffer between the outside world and your clean home, especially on rainy Louisiana afternoons.
3. Multi-Purpose Flex Room
Playroom today, study space tomorrow. A flexible bonus room can adapt as your kids grow—turn it into a toy zone for toddlers, a homework hub for grade schoolers, or even a home gym or craft space later on. With the right layout, the possibilities are endless.
4. Safe & Family-Friendly Design Choices
When you're chasing toddlers or entertaining guests, safety matters. Consider features like rounded corners on island countertops, cordless window treatments, and durable, low-maintenance flooring throughout high-traffic areas. These details help you relax and enjoy your space.
5. Upstairs Laundry Near Bedrooms
Who wants to haul laundry across the house? Placing your laundry room close to the bedrooms—especially in two-story homes—saves time and steps. It's a simple layout decision that makes a big difference during those never-ending laundry days.
6. Walk-In Pantry & Extra Storage
From baby snacks to bulk groceries, families need smart storage. A walk-in pantry keeps your kitchen organized while offering space for everything from sippy cups to crock pots. And throughout the home, we can add
custom storage solutions to keep clutter at bay.
7. Outdoor Living Space
Louisiana weather is made for backyard fun. Whether it's a covered patio for family dinners or a fenced yard for weekend play, outdoor living spaces help your family connect with nature and each other. We'll help you design a backyard you'll love year-round.
At
Ace Construction, we're proud to build homes that reflect the way real families live—from first steps to high school graduations. Whether you're ready to start your
custom built home or review one of our available spec home drawings, we're here to help you every step of the way.
