• What is your exterior style? What kind of<br />
homes do you like? Look around and take a<br />
mental note of what you are drawn to most.<br />
• What kind of exterior materials do you like?<br />
once you’ve worked out the look you like,<br />
research what materials are available and<br />
find out about their durability.<br />
• How will you use your house?<br />
it’s important to most people to have<br />
good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive,<br />
sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your<br />
home in various seasons.<br />
• Landscaping is important. Look around and<br />
consider what you like and don’t like. Are<br />
you a structured formal garden type or do<br />
you like a contemporary native style?<br />
• Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t just<br />
buzzwords anymore. It’s very important<br />
for your new home to be environmentally<br />
friendly. Research insulation requirements,<br />
solar hot water heating, ventilation options<br />
and new technology to ensure your home<br />
will be affordable to run.<br />
• Interior décor is really exciting. This is<br />
where show homes can really help you get<br />
to know current trends, colours, beautiful<br />
furnishings and furniture. Collect home<br />
magazines and figure out what you'd love to<br />
emulate.<br />
• Also pause to give thought to architectural<br />
components inside.<br />
Do you like a raised ceiling? What kind of<br />
finishing do top homes use and which styles<br />
are you are drawn to?<br />
• Heating is also a consideration. Have a look<br />
at what show homes are offering.<br />
• Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show<br />
homes give you insight into the latest styles,<br />
materials and storage facilities available.<br />
• Bathrooms are another big component.<br />
they need to be as luxurious as you can<br />
make them, so start dreaming...<br />
