5 Decor Choices to Make for Your New Home Construction

When you are in the process of building a new home, you essentially have a blank slate in front of you in terms of decorating. While you may already have some ideas about the look you want for your new space, keep in mind that there are probably more choices you’ll need to make than you first imagined.

To make sure your new home looks absolutely gorgeous, here are five decor choices that should be at the top of your list.

Lighting

In today’s homes, lighting is much more than just placing a lamp or bulb here and there. Instead, you will be developing a lighting plan that includes not only an occasional lamp but also overhead and natural lighting. For example, you may want to have a skylight placed in your bedroom, which will allow for plenty of natural light in the mornings.

Countertops

Since your kitchen will be a central focus of your new home, always pay close attention to the countertops you select. Today’s countertops can be made from many different types of materials and can be found in numerous colours and designs. Whether you want a rustic look to your kitchen or one that is sleek and modern, choose your countertops wisely.  Because this will be a focal point of your space, you want to make sure it blends well with your cabinets and that it is a long-lasting material for your needs.

Flooring

Not only will the floor be the first thing you notice when you walk into a room, but it will also greatly impact how that room feels under your feet. While you may want hardwood flooring in some areas of your home, carpet can be a great choice for a bedroom, den, and living room. Chances are you will work with a carpeting contractor regarding the flooring in your home. If you have pets or small children, make sure to mention this so that they can help you pick the best carpet.

Plumbing Fixtures

In many new homes, plumbing fixtures do not get the attention they deserve. Instead of making this common mistake, always opt for fixtures that fit in well with the look of your rooms. From the bathroom and kitchen to perhaps even a garage or utility room, choose plumbing fixtures that not only complement the surrounding interior, but are also easy to install and use.

Window Treatments

Finally, don’t forget the importance of how various window treatments will add or detract from the look of your home. While curtains are still used in many modern homes, more and more homeowners are instead deciding to use shades or blinds, especially ones that are made to help with a home’s energy efficiency. In fact, solar shades that can be operated via remote control are one of today’s hottest design trends.

Once you learn how to integrate your home’s decor with its architectural style, your new home will be the talk of the neighbourhood and the toast of the town.
