Where Design and Quality Meet

top quality and style

October 28, 2025

Walking into the Ideal Design Studio feels a little like stepping into possibility. There is a wall of brick options, a binder of Sherwin Williams paint colors, lighting fixtures everywhere, half a dozen kitchens, and a room dedicated to flooring. It’s where a floor plan begins to transform into a truly personalized home.

With so many options, it’s easy to think the Design Studio is simply about style. But here’s what many people don’t realize: every item in the Ideal Design Studio has passed a the quality and reliability check. We rely on a system of continuous improvement, powered by our warranties and our commitment to homeowners. 

The Ideal Design Studio and Customer Care team work hand-in-hand to deliver superior style with incredible quality.

Peace-of-Mind Warraties

Ideal new home warranties are second to none. Every new Ideal home comes with three warranties designed to safeguard your home:

  • One-Year Peace-of-Mind Warranty
  • Two-Year Major Systems Warranty
  • Ten-Year Structural Warranty

Together with our three-year heating and cooling guarantee, your home is protected to ensure it's as easy to maintain as possible.

Selections meet Customer Care

At the Ideal Design Studio, customers will discover far more choices than at most Oklahoma homebuilders because we believe your home should be a reflection of your own unique personality and style.

However, every option must pass the quality test first. Take faucets, for example. Sometimes customers come to their design appointment with a picture of a faucet they spotted online or at a retail store, only to find it’s not offered here. That’s because we only carry a high-end line known to perform for many years. This ensures our homes perform to the highest standard. 

Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods starts and ends with a commitment to quality.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

That commitment to quality doesn’t end once a product is chosen. It continues behind the scenes through a unique feedback loop that links the Ideal Design Studio, our building team, and Customer Care. 

The Ideal Design Studio curates a selection of high-quality options. If a product issue arises, our Customer Care or building team addressses it. If the Customer Care or building teams find recurring issues, they communicate to the Ideal Design Studio team. The Ideal Design Studio team finds alternative higher-quality options.

“If we start getting customer complaints or warranty issues on a certain product, we discontinue it,” explained Melody Richardson, manager of the Ideal Design Studio. “We’re constantly refining our selections so customers only get the best and most reliable options.”

This feedback loop is the reason that all quartz countertops are now standard in all Ideal Homes kitchens and bathrooms. 

The case for quartz

Here’s what happened: Marble and granite countertops – beautiful but notoriously high maintenance and prone to staining – were generating recurring Customer Care concerns. 

Usually considered an upgrade, quartz became the included countertop for Ideal homes because it’s a more durable and reliable choice.

“Putting in something that’s the top quality is just the right thing to do,” Melody said. This is how our internal processes are shaped by providing top-quality homes for our customers.

Your selections and your peace of mind

Our customers benefit from the layered, continuously improving protection that comes when quality selections, layered home warranties, and a culture committed to Customer Care work together.
