5 ways you could customise your Portable Container Homes

Layout Designing
Portable Container Houses come in standard sizes, but you can always design the interior going from a cosy studio to a multiple-bedroom home using software like Sketchup or Planner5D to get 3D and 2D designs. You could even join multiple containers to create a larger space to let your creative mind design.

Exterior Features
To improve the look and feel, and to make them more aesthetically pleasing you could always use exterior paint, unique metal cladding, and external shelving for plants to add them to your home in a sustainable way. Since the container homes are modular you could even introduce a deck or patio for outdoor relaxation areas or even a terrace or green roof with solar panels and rainwater collection.

Interior Customization
While customizing your container homes you could always opt for a variety of materials for flooring, cabinets or walls such as Butcher block countertops, bamboo flooring, or industrial steel finishes which are quite a common choice. Since the space is very compact you could even try out various smart storage solutions like custom-built shelves, under-bed storage, or multi-functional furniture to make the best use of your space. Not to mention, it’s nowhere written you couldn’t add things you would like in a regular house like Custom countertops, Blinds and curtains, Coat hangers, wall hooks, floating shelves, or Energy-efficient lighting, smart thermostats, security systems for better-looking homes.

Stacking and Modular Arrangements
One of the most innovative features of these houses is that they are modular and can be stacked. If you want more space or multiple storeys, you could always have your container houses stacked one above another or even have them arranged in an L-shape, U-shape, or even in zigzag formations. Which certainly adds a new look and flavor to the aesthetic of your home.

Openings
You can cut custom openings for doors and windows and have them framed with steel to maintain the structural integrity, having them installed with large panoramic windows, which I would say are my personal favorites for a home, sliding doors, and glass walls. You can have vents, louvres, or even skylights added to facilitate improved airflow or maybe a custom entryway as well.

By customizing your container homes in these ways, they can easily be turned into highly functioning and personalized living spaces altered and modified according to your preferences. It’s always better to work with a specialist in creating structures like Unostructures, to get the best customised container homes.
