Colours

Building a new home lets you choose the colour and texture of everything from bricks, pavers and tiles to floor coverings, benchtops and roofing materials.

However, selecting the right combinations to create the 'perfect match' can be a confusing and often time-consuming task.

Rossdale Homes has helped remove some of this confusion by drawing on the expertise of its highly skilled colour and design consultants.

These consultants specialise in both interior and exterior colour and design, and can show new home-buyers examples of what colours and textures most suit Rossdale's various new home designs.

In doing so, home-buyers are able to make their final selections more confidently.

It is important for you to consider how your house will look once it had been transformed into a fully furnished home.

Choosing the right materials to complement a home requires careful forethought. Different colours and textures can give the home character and reflect the individual personality of the owner.

Achieving a total look which is in balance throughout and, most importantly, complements the home, is therefore of paramount importance.

Your current and future needs ultimately determine what comprise the right colour and texture combinations of a home.

For example, a young family may need to consider non-slip flooring and safety clips on cupboards, while a professional couple may simply require a low maintenance home with less robust finishes.

The overall combination of colours, textures and furnishings creates a lasting impression to the eye of the observer.

It is therefore imperative that the home is stylish without narrowing its appeal.

People seeking imaginative new home designs need look no further than Rossdale Homes.


FIVE KEY TIPS

There are five key tips for new home-buyers seeking to design and decorate their ideal home. These are:

1) Remember that style and decoration reflects the image you want to project

2) Trends can change over time, so avoid over-investing in current fads. Keep your home flexible so that it can be upgraded with minimum investment.

3) Put as much thought into your colour scheme and materials as you do in the floor plan for your home. The aesthetics of your home will determine the impression people have and substantially influence its re-sale value.

4) If in doubt, be subtle and 'understate' rather than overstate.

5) Materials and textures will significantly influence the level of maintenance required to keep them looking in top condition, so choose carefully.
