What Most New Builds in DFW Are Missing—and How to Fix It

 It’s one of the top complaints we hear from clients in Prosper, Northlake, Celina, and other fast-growing DFW suburbs:

“My new house looks great… but where do I put everything?”

New builds often check the boxes for square footage, open floor plans, and fresh finishes—but they skip over storage, flow, and function.

Here are the top misses we see in DFW new construction homes:

• No mudroom or drop zone by the garage
• Pantry that’s too small for family life
• Laundry rooms with no folding station or cabinet space
• Closets that don’t fit real wardrobes
• Garages packed with promise but zero organization

At Reni Design, we specialize in filling in the gaps. We help new homeowners personalize their space with smart storage and intentional upgrades that make daily life easier—without starting from scratch.

Our custom solutions include:

• Built-in mudroom benches with hooks, drawers, and cubbies
• Pull-out shelving and spice racks for small pantries
• Wall-mounted cabinets and folding surfaces in laundry rooms
• Walk-in closet shelving, drawers, and lighting
• Garage systems with overhead racks, cabinets, and epoxy floors

If your new home looks great but doesn’t feel great yet—we can help you make it work for real life.
