Believe it or not, the journey to buying your first, second or forever home doesn’t necessarily begin when you reach out to a Mortgage Broker, or other financial experts, for pre-approval. It begins in your mind, picturing how you would like the exterior and, most importantly, the interior of your home to look.
Usually, customers come to us with a detailed idea of what they want, so when we reach the selection stage of their finishes and fixtures, they are armed with adequate knowledge. However, if this isn’t you, this blog will help guide you in the decisions you’ll face, the choices you need to prepare for and how we can assist you in the creation of a home you’re happy with.
Firstly… What are finishes and fixtures?
To some, they may seem unimportant and obvious, but the finishes and fixtures help breathe life into your home. Think tapware, toilets, baths, kitchen appliances, heating/cooling, lighting, benchtops, cabinetry, doors, flooring, etc. The colour and material you choose can determine the style of your home and how much of your personality shines through.
Things to keep in mind…
When entering the selection stage of the build process, it is quite easy to get overwhelmed and carried away with the endless options presented to you. Most home builders will offer a standard list of inclusions, however, when deciding on the style or additional features and/or upgrades, a helpful way to break it down is to separate what you can’t live without, what would be nice and what you can walk away from. Ask yourself, “Will my home be incomplete without a rolling barn door?”. The answer should quickly reveal which category each selection belongs to and ultimately help you pick your way through the extensive options available.
