Adding character to your new build homes can be an enjoyable process. Owning a new home offers a unique opportunity to create a space tailored to your tastes and lifestyle. This is a project we have recently completed in Congleton. We completed some decorating work in our client’s previous home. They have now moved to Congleton and want to add more of a personal touch to their beautiful new house.
However, new build homes can sometimes feel sterile and lack the character that older homes naturally possess. Adding character to new build properties is essential to infuse warmth, personality, and timeless appeal.
Why are New Build Homes so bland?
Home builders are often very aware that decorative elements are very personal. Generally, builders will not ask their buyers for colour choices. Often, the home is handed over with whitewashed walls, ceilings and woodwork. While colour drenching is very popular, this takes the definition in a different direction. To most this isn’t necessarily a negative thing, it allows people to inject colour and character in their own time. Here are some effective strategies to achieve this transformation that we can help with.
Adding Colour and Texture
Colour and texture are fundamental in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Thoughtful use of these elements can greatly enhance the character of a new build property.
Warm and Neutral Colours
Choosing a warm and neutral colour palette can create a serene and timeless backdrop for your home. Soft whites, beiges, and greys provide a versatile canvas that complements various styles and allows other design elements to stand out.
Textured Walls
Adding texture to walls through techniques such as wallpaper can introduce depth and visual interest. Textured walls break the monotony of flat surfaces and create a cozy ambiance.
Accent Colours
Introducing accent colours through furniture, artwork, and accessories helps to infuse personality and vibrancy into your spaces. Bold colours can be used sparingly to create focal points and highlight architectural features.
Adding character to new build homes involves a thoughtful approach to design and attention to detail. By incorporating architectural elements, choosing high-quality materials, using colour and texture creatively, employing effective lighting, and adding personal touches, you can transform a modern house into a charming and unique home. The result is a space that not only reflects your personality but also stands the test of time with its timeless appeal and inviting atmosphere. Get in touch today to request a quote on 01477 535862.
