Design Tips
to consider when building
Building a home is a significant investment, and it’s important to avoid being drawn into short-term trends that may quickly become outdated. While it’s tempting to incorporate the latest design trends into your home, it’s crucial to focus on creating a home that resonates with your family and lifestyle.
Remember that a home that feels on-trend today may not necessarily resonate with your family in the future.
Focus on creating a home that is functional, comfortable, and reflects your family’s personality and style, and you’re sure to have a home that will stand the test of time.

Gather inspiration
Whether creating a mood board on Pinterest, walking through supplier show rooms or interior design studios, seeing examples is an excellent way for you to decide what you do or don’t like! It’s much easier to go off what people have already done than start everything yourself from scratch.
Open the living area
Modern design incorporates open plan living areas, blending functionality for a more spacious and inclusive feel. An open plan living area allows you to maximize on space, natural light while also creating a space you can adapt to your families needs.
Incorporate natural materials
Stone, wood, copper, concrete, granite, you name it. These will add a timeless elegance to your living space that feels organic and homely. With great design also comes functionality, so remember to keep in mind maintenance requirements.
But most importantly
Don’t feel pressured to follow trends, do what resonates with who you are for a classic style that you and your family can enjoy for years to come.
