When building your dream home, it’s all about designing spaces that make life easier, more beautiful, and more functional. At Jason Tanking Construction, we’ve seen families prioritize features that bring everyday comfort while adding long-term value. Here are the five must-haves we recommend for every new build this year:

1. Intentional Outdoor Living Space

From a fully equipped outdoor kitchen to a cozy screened-in porch, homeowners are extending their living spaces outside. Whether you love to entertain, relax with family, or enjoy Kansas evenings by a firepit, intentional outdoor design makes your backyard feel like an extension of your home.

Pro Tip: Consider covered spaces so you can use them year-round, rain or shine.

2. Mudroom with Built-In Cubbies & Storage

A well-designed mudroom is more than just a hallway—it’s the first line of defense against clutter. Built-in cubbies, lockers, and benches help keep coats, shoes, and backpacks organized the second you walk in the door. Add durable flooring, hooks, and charging stations, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

3. Oversized Walk-In Shower

Luxury meets practicality with an oversized walk-in shower. Not only does it feel like a spa at home, but it also allows for aging in place—giving you comfort, safety, and style for years to come. Think multiple showerheads, bench seating, and custom tile work for the ultimate upgrade.

4. Dedicated Pet Space

Pets are family too, and homes in 2025 are reflecting that. Built-in features like:

  • Hidden cabinet pet doors to the backyard

  • Pocket doors to keep pet rooms contained

  • Custom wash stations just for pets

…make life with furry friends cleaner, easier, and more fun.

5. Maximize Closet Function

Closets aren’t just for hanging clothes anymore. With custom cabinets, shelving, and built-in lighting, your closet becomes a boutique-style space designed to keep you organized. From walk-in master closets to kids’ bedrooms, maximizing closet function means no wasted space.
