Top Interior Trends to Personalise Your New Build Home
You’ve got the keys to your new build home and you’ve a blank canvas to work with. That’s great—but how can you turn your new home into one that’s cosy, warm, on-trend, and unique to you? Take a look at how you can personalise your new build with these top interior trends.
Focus on Natural
From the colours you choose in your home to the materials of your furniture and furnishings, natural is a winner. Leave grey behind and embrace tones like sage green, cinnamon browns, taupe, warm beige, or clay. These shades pair beautifully with natural wood furnishings and accessories. Complement them with sisal or jute rugs, stair runners, or a plush wool loop carpet for a cosy, calming effect.
Go Green with Houseplants
Houseplants are not only trendy but also bring life and freshness to your space. There’s no strict rule—just choose plants that suit your light levels and lifestyle. The pots and baskets you use can add colour and personality to your decor. Plus, houseplants purify the air, reduce stress, and improve focus and mood.
Decorate with Handcrafted Pieces
Support local makers and add one-of-a-kind charm to your home with handcrafted items. From macramé plant hangers and framed local artwork to upcycled vintage furniture, handmade pieces add authenticity and warmth. Visit artisan markets to find beautiful, meaningful decor.
Make Room for Mindfulness
Wellness is key in today’s world. Create a calming corner with a comfy chair, soft cushions, and warm lighting for reading or unwinding. Transform your bathroom into a mini spa by decluttering, adding plush towels, and using soothing colours. Don't forget the outdoors—shaded garden corners or pergolas can be perfect for mindful relaxation.
Layer Lighting for the Perfect Ambience
Lighting plays a major role in personalising your home. Use layers: ambient lighting for overall brightness, task lighting for functional areas like the kitchen or office, and accent lighting to highlight artwork or textures. Clever lighting transforms spaces from basic to beautiful.
