FEEL AT HOME The design studio houses all the products, materials and finishes from all of our hand selected suppliers and trusted brands that are available to bring your new home vision to life.

Our design studio has been designed to be engaging and aspirational, where you can feel and touch samples and be guided by our team of experienced interior designers who have the sole purpose of delivering your dream home vision. Unlike other builders, they don’t work on commission, so they’re not going to prompt endless upgrades or be anything but honest.

Whether you know your exact style, or are yet to find it, the team are here to help complete your look, with access to all of the latest products from the industry’s leading brands.

Attending an ‘inspiration session’ will be your first step into your selections process, and from there, you are welcome to browse all the options on display. After your inspiration session, you will be booked into your personal styling session and electrical appointments.

PRIOR TO YOUR PERSONAL STYLING SESSION (COLOUR APPOINTMENT) Whilst you will be guided by our team of experts, there are a few simple things that you can do to help prepare for, and make the most of your appointment.

Step 1

Confirm structural changes Make any structural changes with your New Home Consultant

Step 2

Book an inspiration session Your first introduction to the Plantation Design Studio

Step 3

Research your style and colour schemes Refer to our tips and tricks guide on page 9

Step 4 Familiarise yourself with our selections checklist and cabinetry style options These are choices that you will confirm in your appointment

Before you delve into your design selections, you first need to confirm your structural changes so that when you arrive to your styling session, you are making decisions on your final home design.

We also recommend you attend an inspiration session so that you are fully informed about what happens through each stage of the selections process. This will be your first glimpse and opportunity to familiarise yourself with our design studio. Inspiration sessions are held on Saturdays, by appointment only. Please speak to your New Home Consultant to book your space.

Having built over 15,000 homes for Queensland families, we know how important it is that your new home represents you through your styling choices. Browsing design studio prior to your styling appointment allows you to familiarise yourself with the many inclusions and upgrade items that are on display and mark them up on your selections checklist. This will help you and your Interior Designer to be on the same style page from the very first selection you make.

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR SELECTIONS Preparing for your styling session can be as simple as noting the little things that you like to see and feel in your home, or as comprehensive as building your own mood board.

Tip 1

Re-visit one of our display centres

Each one of our display centres across South East Queensland features various styles to inspire you

Tip 2

Explore the design studio See, touch and explore colours, materials and products

Tip 3

View our social pages

Visit instagram.com/plantation_homes or pinterest.com.au/plantation_homes/ for home styling inspiration

Tip 4

Compile your own inspiration boards

Explore magazines and online design pages and create a collection of items and notes that reflect your vision

Tip 5

Bring your vision to life with our visualiser tool

With just one click you can experiment with interior and exterior décor options

From visiting our display homes across South East Queensland, saving magazine clippings and viewing online galleries, to noting whether you prefer shiny stainless steel appliances, collecting a range of style ideas and inspirations, both visual and written, will assist with streamlining your selections process.

These style ideas and inspirations might be a picture of a room that you like the look of, or letting us know which display home you love the most and what you love about it.

Our interactive visualiser tool allows you to better express your individual taste and streamline the many design choices. You can bring your designs along to your appointment and develop them further with your Interior Designer.

There is no set amount of time that you must dedicate to preparing for your styling session. Whether you have a list of notes of what you like or a comprehensive mood board which dictates your exact decisions, our team of professionals are here to help refine and define your styling vision.

7

DISCOVER YOUR STYLE Whilst no two homes have been built the same, there are three distinct styles that might resonate with you, which can help simplify your selections.

POLISHED Smooth surfaces with varied textures, the ‘polished’ style lends itself to the quintessential modern Queensland landscape. With hues of enduring metals, especially in silver and chrome, with a backdrop of timber and lighter fabrics, the overall look is highlighted with tones of black. This style is accentuated well with marble and natural grain finishes to create a modern yet ageless home style.

8

TIMELESS Rarely bold or eccentric, if your style is more ‘timeless’, it features lasting colours, classic choices and delicate style. This is where quality pieces and a rich yet subdued colour palette are the background to your everyday, neither a distraction or a focal point, but an effortlessly enchanting space with seamless consistency.

Follow our Instagram page for more inspiration at instagram.com/plantation_homes/

BOLD Balancing feature items, such as black tapware and designer handles, with refined colour and surface choices, the ‘bold’ style offers modern home form. Step into on trend style with effortless appeal and high-end quality, for a home that looks to tomorrow.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR STYLING SESSION Confidently make selection choices that truly reflect you, with our step-by-step process and expert guidance.

Part 3

Appliances, benchtops, cabinets, handles, sinks, tapware and accessories

Your styling session is a layering experience. Expertly created as a process to offer maximum creativity and personalisation, without compromising style cohesion and consistency.

Working with a qualified Interior Design Stylist, you will compare, consider and choose the big picture items first. These are the selections that will define your home, before you even step through the front door.

This section covers all of your external selections such as roofing, rendering, brickwork, windows and more.

10

With the external choices still fresh in your mind, the next layer adds dimension through the interior selections. These selections include flooring, paint colours, benchtops and all of the features that set the tone for your home.

Finally, you make your selections of fittings and fixtures, as well as the electrical options and inclusions. We work with you through each dedicated space in your home to profile and detail the options and ensure the choices reflect your overall home vision.

Your styling session appointment will be booked for you between 9:00am and 4:00pm Monday to Friday.

Allow approximately 3-4 hours for single storey homes, and 6 hours for double storey homes.

11

Consider your façade options and upgrades:

Brick only

Part render

All render

Feature tiling

Available options vary depending on façade chosen.

EXTERIOR SELECTIONS Set your style from the outset with texture, contrast and dimension to create a memorable first impression.

12

Roofing materials, brickwork, render, gutters and driveway, as well as doors and windows work together in your home selections to create your overall external appeal.

The exterior statement items will follow through to your interior selections, which is why we systematically select each exterior element to ensure it sets the right tone for your interior intentions.

The options offered during the exterior selections phase do more than make your house look appealing from the street. They will determine your levels of light and privacy, assist with climate control, and add security and comfort.

Your exterior selections will be everlasting decisions that will greet you every time you arrive home or welcome guests to your door.

01

01

ricks can form a large portion of your B base colour palette for your home, so it is the best place to start

02 Add depth or contrast with two render colours on selected façades 03 There are plenty of colour and profile options available with your choice of a Colorbond® steel or tiled roof 04 Modern and stylish, mix and match aluminium or timber window frames with Colorbond® steel gutters, fascia and downpipes 05 For a grand entry, select from a wide range of exterior doors and handle options. Choose to opt for a painted or stained timber look to front, rear and laundry doors

02

06 Driveway colours are another consideration for a move in ready home. Garage doors are available in solid colour or woodgrain finish with different profiles to suit your style

INTERIOR SELECTIONS Set the tone for your home with the elements of your interior which make the most impact – the surfaces.

01

01 Consider tiles or timber laminate flooring options to create your preferred aesthetic 02 Style the bathroom, ensuite, powder room and laundry with your choice of floor and wall tiles 03 Fashion and comfort with carpet choices in a range of colours and styles 04 Surface selections also include stone benchtop colours, cabinetry profiles, finishes and colours, and splashbacks 05 Contrast or add depth with paint colours for walls and woodwork

14

02

03

04

05 Whether you have chosen tiles to your main floor for their durability, or you prefer timber-look flooring, all of the options are on display in the design studio.

See them in context and experiment with different colour and material combinations so you can compare and discuss the practicalities with your dedicated Interior Designer.

During this phase, you will also be guided through your bathroom, ensuite, laundry and powder room selections, looking at floor and wall tiles, and each surface including benchtops and cabinetry.

Carpet choices for bedrooms and additional living areas will also be selected in this phase, finalising the look for your home interior.

15

KITCHEN SELECTIONS Appliances, benchtops, cabinets, handles, sinks, tapware and accessories are served up in this space, bringing the heart of the home together.

The kitchen is one of the most important areas of your home to get right. This is where you nourish your family, feed your friends, entertain and host – it is where you gather every day to graze, chat, refresh and prepare, which means there are a lot of features to consider for functionality and aesthetic.

From the tapware to the appliances and every cabinet, benchtop and hotplate in between, we step you through each zone to ensure the space is catered to your lifestyle needs.

16

You can even determine the benchtop thickness and edge finish – be that square or waterfall.

Pay particular attention to how you use your current kitchen and note what works well, and any improvements you would like to make.

Where do you prepare your food? Do you prefer appliances out of sight or integrated into the space? There are many choices to make your kitchen work perfectly for you.

Explore and discuss the many options on display.

01

02

01 Select your combination of kitchen appliances including cooktop and oven, or upright cooker, along with your rangehood and add-on appliances 02 Your sink and tap in both your kitchen and butler’s pantry (if applicable) play an important role in the overall functionality of your kitchen 03 Benchtop and cabinetry finish, colour and profile choices can make a statement in the hub of the home 04 Splashback colour and material is one of the final touches that creates a focal point for your kitchen décor

03

04

Consider a waterfall benchtop, available in a variety of sizes:

20mm

40mm

70mm

17

FITTINGS AND FIXTURES SELECTIONS From the always seen, to the always used; interior fittings and fixtures selections span across every room delivering purpose, functionality and pure aesthetic.

Consider how you want your basin or sinks to be mounted to your benchtops or counters

Inset

Above Counter

Undermount

Semi-recessed

18

Some interior selections are obvious, such as tapware and appliances, while others can be more subtle, like skirting boards and architraves. Each of these elements are just as important to get right, as they come together to create your entire home style.

This phase includes your kitchen selections, which we have already considered on pages 18 and 19.

Here you will select your appliances, benchtops, sinks, cabinets, tapware, handles and accessories.

02

01

03

You will then move through each space with your dedicated Interior Designer, from bathrooms and ensuites to windows and doors. You will choose the elements that are seen every day, and the ones that are used everyday.

Our team have developed a smooth process for the selection of fittings and fixtures, to help streamline the decision making process and deliver a home that reflects a consistent aesthetic.

01

elect your toilet, bath, vanity basin, S shower rails and accessories to feature in your ensuite and bathroom

02 Internal doors, door handles and cabinet handles are little items that can make a big impact 03 Sinks and taps are functional and also enhance the look of your bathroom and kitchen 04 Cornices, architraves and skirting all play a part in finishing off your home 05 There are many options available for your window furnishings – from shutters, awnings, blinds and curtains

04

05

19

ELECTRICAL SELECTIONS From the possibilities of security systems, to everyday lighting requirements, power your choices with your electrical selections.

From the front door bell and security system, to the climate control and position of power points, as well as availability of USB access – your Electrical Selections Appointment will provide lasting convenience for a modern lifestyle.

Make life that little bit easier everyday with carefully considered electrical choices – plug in where you use your appliances and have power at hand right where, and when, you need it most.

20

Add a ducted vacuum or incorporate ceiling fans and explore your external lights choices, while your Interior Design Stylist guides you with what is popular and best suited to your style.

This appointment also includes fire alarms, internet, theatre room and feature lighting requirements, making sure all of the functional and exciting electrical requirements complement your way of life.

01

02

03 01 Define living spaces and embellish a part of any room by adding feature pendant lights 02 Review and confirm the number and position of light switches, power sockets and ceiling fans 03 Make cleaning more functional with the installation of a ducted vacuum system
