Choosing the furnishings for your first home can be a daunting task, especially when every penny counts if you are a first-time buyer. When you fall in love following your first viewing at a development, you are left wondering how your new home will look once you get the keys. How do you bring that glossy, refined finish of a shiny show home into your own? At Countryside, we have three top tips on how to maintain that new home look.

  • Look for homes which offer furniture package incentives 

What is not to love about the prospect of your new home being fully kitted out? Our vibrant collection of homes over at Base at Newhall previously offered new purchasers a furniture package with well-renowned interiors retailer – Habitat. Base at Newhall’s two-bedroom show apartment was fully styled and furnished by Habitat, giving buyers the comfort of knowing their new home was being styled by expert hands.

  • Choosing bold and contemporary colour palettes

Opting for bright, bold yet characterful colours which reflect your own personality is a great way of showing off the best aspects of a new build. At times, new homes can be described as dull and lacking in individuality, but at Countryside, we encourage and show potential buyers how to breathe new life into their new property. At Royal Hill Park, our development in Redhill, the show home has been pieced together to master the balance of colour tones, materials and bespoke furnishings in order to show buyers how they can model their own home. Choosing the right pairings of paint which enliven a space can really help in injecting some character. 

  • Create multiple spaces for different purposes

Your home isn’t just a single-use space. Show homes usually display how to divide up the spaces in a playful yet practical way. When you get the keys to your new property, how you choose to spend your time and where is completely up to you. Regency Grange, a prestigious collection of homes in Royal Tunbridge Wells, caters for different functions if so desired. Whether it’s space to work from home or to host a gathering of friends and family on the weekend, the multiple rooms at Regency Grange enable the homeowner to design the space so it works for them. Matching design with function is the best marriage possible in a new home.
