New build homes come with a range of modern designs, updated fixtures, and the promise of a fresh start. However, even with all the conveniences of a new build home, most of us are always looking for more space.
Here are some of our top tips for maximising space in your new build home.
1. Open Plan Design
One of the greatest advantages of our new build homes is their open plan layout. This design trend integrates living, dining, and kitchen areas into one expansive space. By minimising walls and using open shelving or furniture strategically, you can make your home feel more spacious and welcoming.
2. Clever Home Storage Solutions
New home features often incorporate clever home storage solutions, but it's crucial to make the most of them. Consider built-in shelving, under-stair storage, and walk-in wardrobes. To maximise space, why not invest in multi-functional furniture like beds with storage drawers or an ottoman that doubles up as a storage unit.
3. Vertical Storage
Don't forget to utilise your vertical space. Tall bookshelves, cabinets, and wall-mounted hooks or racks can free up valuable floor space. Using vertical storage not only looks stylish, but also helps to keep your belongings organised and easy to access.
4. Multi-Functional Rooms
In a new build home, you might have the flexibility to designate rooms for multiple purposes. For example, you could use a guest room as a home office with a fold-out sofa bed. Multi-functional rooms make the most of the available space while ensuring you have the flexibility to adapt to changing needs.
5. De-clutter Regularly
Over time, even the most spacious new build home can start to feel cramped because of clutter. Make it a habit to regularly go through your belongings and remove items you no longer need. This not only keeps your space tidy but also prevents it from feeling overcrowded.
6. Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor furniture and plants can create a comfortable and inviting outdoor space, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Outdoor storage ideas such as outdoor sheds and hidden spaces for tools and equipment makes your garden look stylish, tidy and offer more space.
7. Stay Minimalistic
Finally, embrace a minimalist approach to decorating your new build home. Less clutter and fewer decorative items can make a space feel more open. Choose furniture that serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose and resist the temptation to overcrowd your rooms with excessive decor.
Maximising space in a new build home is all about creativity and home organisation. Whether you're looking for your first or next dream home, check out the available homes at Kellen Homes.
