Show Homes
There are many things to think about when you’re considering building a new home. browsing show homes is a fantastic way to get you thinking about practicalities, needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here are a few considerations to help spark your planning process.
W
hat is your exterior style? What kind of homes do you like? Edgy and contemporary, classic elegance, country lodge? Look around and take a mental note of what you are drawn to most. What kind of exterior materials do you like? Would a brick home suit you, or a modern material board? Once you’ve worked out the look you like, research what materials are available and find out about their durability. How will you use your house? Do you do a lot of entertaining? It’s important to most people to have good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive, sheltered outdoor living. Try to imagine your new home in various seasons. Landscaping will be an important part of your project. Look around at other homes and show homes and consider what you like and what you don’t like. Are you a structured formal garden type or do you like a contemporary native style? Start collecting photos from magazines of gardens you admire. Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t just buzz words anymore. It’s very important for your new home to be designed to be environmentally friendly and to take full advantage of natural attributes such as solar energy. Research insulation requirements, solar hot water heating, ventilation options and new technology to ensure you’re getting
a home that will be affordable to run. Interior decor is a really exciting part of your project. This is where show homes can really help you get to know current trends, colours, beautiful furnishings and furniture. Collect home magazines as well and make up a folder of interior decors you would love to emulate. Also pause to give thought to architectural components inside. Do you like a raised ceiling? What kind of finishing do top homes use and which styles are you drawn to? Heating is also a consideration. Have a look at what show homes are offering. Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show homes give you insight into the latest styles, materials and storage facilities available. Bathrooms are another big component. They need to be as luxurious as you can make them, so start dreaming.
