A Guide to Choosing the Best Features from Display Homes

When searching for the perfect home, many buyers turn to display homes for inspiration. Display homes offer a tangible representation of the possibilities, showcasing the craftsmanship, layout, and lifestyle potential of a new build. 

They are meticulously designed to impress, making it easy to see why people fall in love with them. However, with so many options, how do you determine which features are best for your needs? This guide will help you navigate the Hampton style display homes in Melbourne process and choose the most important features from display homes for your future home.

Understanding Your Needs and Lifestyle

Before diving into the details of any display home, it’s important to understand your own needs and lifestyle. The house that works for one family may not suit another. Take stock of your family’s habits, priorities, and how you envision your living space.

Family size: How many bedrooms and bathrooms will you need? Do you foresee your family growing in the coming years?

Daily routines: Think about your daily routines. Do you need an open kitchen for cooking together or a quiet study for working from home?

Entertaining: If you love hosting friends and family, look for designs with spacious living areas or alfresco dining options.

Storage: Is there adequate storage for your lifestyle, including closets, garages, or dedicated storage rooms?

By starting with these questions, you'll have a clearer idea of the types of features you should prioritise.

The Importance of Layout and Flow

One of the most crucial aspects of any home is the layout. While aesthetics and finishes might initially grab your attention, the flow and usability of the space are far more important in the long run.

Open vs. closed spaces: Open-plan living has been a popular choice in recent years, allowing for flexibility and connectivity. However, consider whether you prefer designated rooms for certain activities like a formal dining room or study.

Zoning: Zoning refers to separating areas of the home based on their function. Bedrooms should ideally be tucked away from entertaining spaces to ensure privacy and quiet.

Natural light: Pay attention to the home’s orientation and how light enters different rooms. Ample natural light can make a home feel more spacious, warm, and inviting.

Traffic flow: Consider how easily you can move through the home. Are hallways and doorways wide enough? Is there a logical flow from room to room, and does the layout promote ease of movement?

Kitchen Design and Functionality

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, so getting this space right is essential. Display homes usually feature stunning kitchens, but it's important to consider whether the design will meet your practical needs.

Appliances: While high-end appliances may look attractive, focus on their functionality and whether they fit your cooking habits.

Bench space: You’ll need adequate bench space for food prep, particularly if you enjoy cooking or have a large family.

Storage solutions: Look for clever storage options such as deep drawers, pull-out pantry shelves, or built-in cabinetry.

Flow: The kitchen should flow naturally with adjacent spaces, such as dining and living areas. An island bench can be a versatile addition, providing extra prep space and seating options.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Modern Hampton style display homes Melbourne often blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, making the backyard, patio, or alfresco area just as important as the interior.

Connection to indoors: Check how the outdoor space connects to the living or kitchen area. A well-designed outdoor area should feel like an extension of your indoor living space, especially if you plan to entertain outdoors.

Privacy: Consider the level of privacy in outdoor spaces. Does the design include fencing or landscaping that ensures seclusion from neighbours?

Size and functionality: Think about how you’ll use the space. Do you need room for outdoor furniture, a barbecue, or even a pool? Assess whether the outdoor area is large enough to accommodate these features without feeling cramped.

Storage and Practicality

While the finishes and décor of a display home may steal the show, don’t overlook practical aspects like storage.

Built-in wardrobes: Check the size and quality of built-in wardrobes in bedrooms.

Laundry area: Is there a functional laundry room with space for appliances and storage?

Garage space: Consider how many vehicles you own and whether the garage offers enough space for cars, bikes, and tools.

Adequate storage can greatly impact the day-to-day functionality of your home, making it more organised and less cluttered.

Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Features

As energy costs rise and the focus on sustainability grows, homes that are designed with energy efficiency in mind have become increasingly popular. Many display homes now incorporate sustainable features, but you need to assess which ones are worth investing in.

Insulation: Well-insulated walls and windows can keep your home comfortable year-round while reducing energy consumption.

Solar panels: Some display homes feature solar panels, which can significantly lower electricity costs over time.

Energy-efficient appliances: Look for homes that include energy-efficient appliances and lighting, as these can also reduce your environmental impact and energy bills.

Water-saving fixtures: Low-flow taps, dual-flush toilets, and water-efficient showers can make a big difference in both water consumption and utility bills.

Finishes and Materials

Finally, the finishes and materials in a display home will often dictate the overall feel of the house. However, you don’t always need the most luxurious finishes to create a beautiful, comfortable home.

Durability: Look for materials that are durable and easy to maintain, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

Timeless vs. trendy: While trendy finishes might look great now, consider how they’ll age. Opt for timeless materials that will still look good in years to come.

Customisation: Display homes often showcase premium finishes, but you may be able to choose more affordable alternatives during the design process.

Conclusion

Choosing the best features from Hampton style display homes Melbourne requires a balance between practicality, aesthetics, and lifestyle needs. By focusing on layout, storage, sustainability, and finishes, you can create a home that’s not only beautiful but functional for years to come. Remember, the goal is to design a space that reflects your lifestyle, so prioritise features that will truly enhance your everyday living.

We can hardly believe this home is in Melbourne!

A Stylish, Sentimental Home In St Kilda

When our art director Annie Portelli gets excited about a home she’s styled for one of our shoots, we sit up and pay attention. Annie was seriously buzzing over the St Kilda home of Barb Hyman and her family. Barb renovated this once derelict grand mansion, into a chic and sprawling terrace of finely crafted luxury.

A Warrandyte Delight

Over the last few years we’ve seen so many Melbournian’s head to Warrandyte in search of a tree change close to the city. Another major plus is the incredible modernist and mid-century homes you can still find in wonderful condition in the area! The unconventional property of Sage and Clare’s Phoebe Bell and Chris Monahan is a perfect example. The sprawling property is home to two families, filled with colourful art and objects, with sweeping views over the treetops.

Fleur Glenn’s treehouse, designed by architect Murray Barker, is truly something to behold. This charming, yet contemporary home in Clifton Hill perfectly caters to this empty-nester’s book filled and tree-lined life!

‘When we bought the house, only the left side was there. We felt the house looked unbalanced so when drawing up the plans we wanted to balance it out. We used the same colourbond steel and existing design features as we wanted it to look like it had always been like this, and not a new extension. We were so lucky with our builder as he had done the original renovation the year before so was across all the finishes and colours we needed. I love the dark tones of this house against all the greenery’, Chyka explains. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

The outdoor area is one of Chyka’s favourite places. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

This room was originally a gallery and didn’t really work for Bruce and Chyka. They decided to double the width and turn the colour scheme black – they wanted it to look dramatic, so peaked the ceiling to add the drama with three antler chandeliers. The room is light and bright thanks to the doors to the courtyard. The couch and chairs were old ones they recovered. Photo – Amelia Stanwix.

The Impossibly Chic Chyka Weekender

Chyka Keebaugh puts her own distinctive flair on her ‘Nordic meets The Hamptons’ weekender! The Big Group co-founder was scrolling through instagram when she spied this holiday home (seriously!) and secured the property! Together with husband Bruce, Chyka embarked on large-scale renovations, including extending the grand master bedroom and major landscaping around THAT spectacular new pool.

The home of Alex McCabe, founder of Kip&Co is, unsurprisingly, a joyful burst of colour!  Bright pops of art, textiles and objects create a unique sense of character in this St Kilda home, but the scene-stealer for us is that kitchen splashback. So glam!

HOW TO NAIL A GENUINE AMERICAN HOME DESIGN

HOW TO NAIL A GENUINE AMERICAN HOME DESIGN

To any typical Australian, owning a house is not just an investment; they are homes and hence are sources of personal pleasure and pride to the owner.  They convey status and standing, and from the mere look of any home design, anyone can tell a thing or two about the owner. Despite our conservative taste, over the years we have found the most creative way to show our love for elegant and timeless architectural home designs.

The modern Australian architecture is influenced heavily by foreign home designs, most notably American designs. The reason for that is obvious, as American home designers are known for their ability to combine fun and expressive colour schemes with bold accents, spaciousness, luxurious home furnishings, and sophisticated colour contrast. These features can turn any room into fabulous retreats, perfect for work, home, and rest.

American Home designs that portray the realistic expectations of the average Australian are now popular more than ever, and even realtors and homebuilders can testify to this. Some of the home designs that are quite in tune with the demands of prospective homeowners in terms of architectural styles and elegance include- the Hampton’s style home, the Cape Cod house style, the Ranch style, the Victorian style house, the Tudor style and the Mid-Century modern style.

However, the most popular American home designs in Australia are the Hampton’s home style and the Cape Cod style.  These home designs are quite popular not just for their obvious exquisite architectural styles but also for their unique functionality and relative affordability.

If you are planning to build your home following any of the popular American home designs. This article might be all the information you need.

Key features of an American home design

Cape Cod home design

The Cape Cod home design has scored quite a number on “Aussies�� looking to create a warm, cozy home with the perfect British countryside feel.  This home design is renowned for its typical symmetric appearance, central roof position, and steep roofs. Also, they have exquisite window shutters that are usually painted in white, picket fence, and its hardwood flooring.  The ingenuity of peculiar features of this home style is no doubt one of the major reasons why it is still a showstopper.

Also, the fact that this style is quite inexpensive to build compared to the rest.

Cape cod home

Features of the Hamptons home design

The Hamptons home design can be described as the most popular American home design in Australia.  This home style is a broad description for a variety of architectural components and interior features that when combined, produce a casual, comfortable atmosphere with a touch of style and elegance in any home.

This style has captivated the hearts of most homeowners in Australia because of its understated elegance that holds a timeless appeal. Its typical light and breezy interior look, vividly portray the laid-back elements of the Australian way of life that “Aussies” relish so much.

Hampton’s style

There are some basic “must-have” features a genuine Hampton’s home must have.  These key features are not only unique to this home-style, but they also show that a home is truly a Hampton’s style.

Some key features of this home design include –

•        Modern weatherboards, which are typically made of fibre cement,

•        Gable roofing using the GAF roof shingles,

•        Timber arbours,

•        And architectural mouldings.

The interior design of a genuine Hampton’s home design typically features a classic combination of blue and white painting. This colour mix is quite perfect for creating a fresh and coastal appeal, timber floorings, bi-fold doors, which are typically found in the balconies, window trimmings, and natural coloured stones.

Creating an ageless home design like the Hampton’s requires good detailing.  A mismatch of some of the key features of this home design makes it sour.  One of the essential elements of a genuine Hampton’s home design look is the gable roofing using “GAF roof shingles”.  Newbie home builders looking to create a Hampton’s style inspired home might feel less inclined to pay much attention to the roof on the presumption that “its perfect so long as it looks right” but this is far from it.

The true elegance of a Hampton’s home design lies in its roof, which is the GAF roof shingles. So it’s best to begin your Hamptons style house plan by finding the building contractor that can supply you with the GAF roof shingles.

Although the GAF shingles are not as popular as the tile or terracotta roofing materials, most building professionals all over Australia now understand that you cannot create a genuine Hamptons home design without roofing with the GAF roof shingles. If your proposed Hampton’s inspired home is not roofed with the GAF roof shingles, then it is simply not a Hampton’s home style.

Where to find American house designs in Australia

Source: Ranch style home

Australians love everything charming and eye-catching. Our taste for the “good life” in every facet has also been demonstrated in our love for American home designs.  Homebuilders in Australia are gradually stepping up and putting in conscious effort to ensure that prospective homeowners in Australia get the bang for their buck when going for American design inspired homes.

Genuine Hampton’s home designs are rapidly springing up in major parts of Australia. This style is commonly found in Brisbane, Sydney, Queensland, Melbourne, Darwin, New South Wales, and Canberra.  American home designs are not strictly limited to these few listed parts of Australia as other parts are steadily embracing American home designs.

The perfect American house plans

Creating the perfect American house plan begins with careful planning and detailing.  Yes, there are bound to be few bumps on the road especially if you have no clue whatsoever on what home design features should be on your home plan. However, with the right checklist and accurate information on the accurate features of a proposed American home design, you are one step away from creating the perfect American house plan.

Consider the following checklist for creating the perfect American house plan-

•        Home size- according to the Census Bureau, the average American home size is about 2,422 square feet. Although this estimation is held as the consensus, it is subject to variation as you must take into consideration the specific home space needs of your family.  If you have a small family and you are not looking to expand then the quoted home size might be the appropriate square footage for your family needs.

On the other hand, if you have a large family, then this recommended square footage doesn’t suit you. Consequently, variations are best advised to suit the specific needs of your family to avoid creating a cramped environment.

•        Your proposed architectural style – developing the perfect American home begins with choosing a precise American home design. There are so many American home designs you can choose from, but this should be based entirely on your personality, taste and the architectural look you are looking to create.

Your home should be a vivid reflection of who you are and your typical lifestyle. For example, prospective homeowners who go for the Hamptons look can be said to love anything white and all breezy and traditional aesthetic home design and furnishings.  A Greek Revival home easily tells that its owner appreciates the formal look of antebellum period homes with its classical ornate designs.  The point is your architectural style should be a formal expression of your personality and your lifestyle.

If you are yet to decide on which American home design suits your personality best, then perform detailed research before making a final decision.  Whichever American home design you choose to go with, its unique features must not be overlooked as often times these features are the styles themselves. For example, for the Hamptons style, the Gable roofing using the GAF roof shingles is one of its daunting features, and without it; there can never be a Hampton’s look!

•        Floor plan layout- this is one of the basics of a perfect home plan. Your proposed floor plan should be designed to maximise livable space and conform to the daily lifestyle and activities of your family.  Your ideal home plan can become totally flawed if you build with an imperfect floor plan. For the sake of convenience, it is best to keep your floor plans as flexible as possible to meet your present family needs as well as your future needs.

These few checklists will be a useful guide in creating the perfect house plan regardless of any American house design you might be interested in. It is also vital to secure the services of a professional American design home residential builder to get the best help possible in creating the perfect American home design plan.

Shower room-- Leisure with function

You might copy that by starting little. Do not commit yet by buying a retro-inspired intense device for your vanity area. You can in addition follow it by painting your closets with teal or tangerine.

The best knock down rebuild Melbourne

Whichever knock down rebuild house plan you choose, it is vital to select roofing, fittings, inclusions, and décor that matches and accentuates the design of the house.

Roofing

The roof is the third component of a building’s structure, it protects and emphasises the architecture of the house but can also be energy producing. From an aesthetic point of view, the choice of the roof should improve the overall beauty of the house. From a regulatory standpoint, the choice of the roof should meet not only the requirements of the local council but also your neighbourhood. If you live near a historic monument or in a classified regional park, you do not do what you want as regulations control the type of houses that are in that region. The law may well require some type of roofing, and also a specific shape, dimensions and/or colour.

From an environmental point of view, the roof reduces energy costs thanks to good insulation. As you can see, choosing your roof is subject to considerable thought.

You should consider the aesthetic, regulatory, environmental, and durability qualities of the roof before making a choice. There are many roof options out there; an easy way to sieve through the options is to check if they pass the criteria listed above while considering your budget. Although, most house designs are paired with a preferred roofing material that complements their design, which can help narrow your search to just the design and quality of the default roofing style for the house plan you choose. For example, Hampton style homes traditionally use roof shingles for roofing because roof shingles provide better aesthetics than most roofing materials, especially architectural shingles that have 3D effect with varying tones and patterns.This type of roofing material is ideally matched to the top 4 knock down rebuild plans to highlight the beauty of the home. Roof shingles have the advantage of being efficient, cost-effective, easy to install and come in a variety of colours and styles. Make sure your knock down rebuild builders use GAF roof shingles.

  Flooring

The floor is the surface of the house on which we walk. A good floor should be appropriate to walk barefoot, for children to play without risk and it should be easy to clean. When choosing your flooring, consider the dominant weather condition in your region as well as your budget, and quality of the flooring.

A hard and well-finished floor is easy to clean and reduces the presence of some bugs and odour. There is a great variety of finishes for the floor: tile, stone, concrete, wood, granite, among others. Based on your tastes and budget, you can decorate the floor either with coloured tiles, with different shapes and sizes, or create a simple and natural finish.

Doors and windows

The doors and windows are the points of entry or exit for animate and inanimate things. When they are closed, they give privacy, isolation, and protection. When they are open, they allow access and air circulation. The design value of doors and windows are often overlooked or underemphasized, but these components of a house contribute to the overall beauty of the house.

The doors and windows are key in the decoration of your home. These sections make up an important part of the personality that the house will have, and that is why it is essential to make a correct selection with which you feel comfortable.

Depending on your priority, there are many types of doors including; PVC folding doors, wooden doors, armoured doors and more. Each type is designed to provide basic insulation from outside noise and security, especially; bulletproof doors, they are designed mainly for safety.

Similarly, there are varieties of windows in the market. Your choice should be made based on budget, quality, and aesthetics (colour, design, and material).

Every component of you choose for your home should contribute to its security, strength and design. Using inferior or weak materials in any part of the house, especially within the structure can cause structural issues in the future. That will lead to frequent maintenance, in worst cases, a complete rebuild. Choosing quality materials is always the best approach to rebuilding a home.

Knocking down and rebuilding a home

1.    Choosing a builder and what to expect

When choosing a builder for your knock down rebuild project; focus on experienced builders with good reviews or even better, engage a builder recommended by your friends or someone you know. The MBAV (Master Builders Association of Victoria) recommend considering factors such as license – whether the Master Builder association licenses the builder and checking previous samples of their work. A license and quality sample are indicators of professionalism and expertise – you shouldn’t go wrong following these factors as cues to hire. However, you should consider every possible factor before hiring your builder; even communication should be considered. According to Mr Radley De Silva, CEO Masters Builders Association of Victoria, “the key to a successful client-builder relationship is clear communication.” And your builder determines the success of your project.

Generally, a professional builder should guide you through the technical process required before knock down and during the rebuild. Such assistance comes after you have entered a contract with the builder. A standard contract details the terms of collaboration between you and the builder; it contains information regarding payment, Scope of Work, Timing of the Work, Warranty, Contractor Default Provision, and more.

The process of knocking down and rebuilding a home vary from subdivisions to subdivisions. For example, a knock down rebuild project in Melbourne should begin with investigating regulations and legal issues regarding demolishing and rebuilding in your local council. These laws and regulation determine what you can do. Your local council regulates laws regarding asset protection and planning laws. If the proposed building is subject to plan approval, your local council will oversee the approval. Getting a plan approval can considerably increase the project timeframe, however; you will only need a plan approval after a site inspection finds unique factors such as heritage overlay and presence of trees on your property.

2.    Site inspection.

This stage comes right after engaging a builder, or during the advanced stages of discussion with a builder, it is necessary to estimate the work required before the knockdown and should be initiated by your builder. Site inspection involves assessing the proposed building for knockdown and rebuild to ensure that it is suitable for the extensive project that will be carried out and also determine if any factors will impact the success of the rebuild. Some of the factors that can influence the success of the rebuild include; heritage listing, drainage, the topography of the land, and any significant trees. If the builder finds any of these factors, your rebuild project will require a plan approval from the local council before work continues. An experienced builder should be able to guide or help you get a plan approval before preparing your site for demolition.

3.    Preparation and demolition

While the local council is processing your documents, you should prepare your home and land for demolition. This is something you can do by contacting your utility (electricity, gas, and water) service providers to disconnect the service and moving them to a safe/storage location. So everything that needs to be put aside before the wrecking ball shows up should be removed from the environment.

Demolition

Find a reputable demolition contractor that can demolish your structure safely and promptly. The demolition contractor is responsible for clearing the debris on site and should provide the builder with a certificate to confirm that the site was cleared correctly.

4.    The timeframe of the rebuild.

It is always good to have a timeframe for the rebuild in mind so that you can adjust your expectations accordingly. Knocking down and rebuilding your home can cause anxiety, much like the anxiety you will experience watching and waiting for water in a tea kettle placed over the fire to boil – it never boils on time. To avoid anxiety and possible disappointment, you should consult your builder to provide an estimated project completion date. Keep in mind that estimated dates are only tentative, which means the rebuild can be completed days before or several weeks after the estimated completion date. It all depends on the factors of construction; your builder should explain these factors when giving you progress updates.

Generally, the national average for completing demolition and rebuild is between 8 to 12 months. In the absence of unforeseen challenges, your home should be complete within the quoted timeframe.

5.     Tender process – Design

The beauty of a Knockdown rebuild is the freedom to determine the design of your home from the first block laid in the foundation to the last roofing sheet fixed on the roof. Consequently, it is very important to have a clear picture of what you want before going to the drawing table with your builder. During the tender process, you confirm your house design and all the internal fittings, colours, and inclusions that you want in your new home. A good builder will guide you through this process, pointing out any local law that may prevent the execution of your design idea as well as environmental factors such as the orientation of your home with the sun.

If you want an American style home such as Hamptons, you should go over the designs you prefer with your builder while your builder considers the material available to build the design and your budget. Hampton style house plans are modern and chic, other than their chic design, the roofing material – roof shingles; used for these type of houses make them stand out.

  Knocking down house and rebuilding

When choosing the design of your new home, it is best to consider a classy modern look that will stay relevant for a long time. This criterion should be your yardstick when selecting the exterior features of your home that contribute to the overall design of the house. For example, the windows and roofing are features that contribute significantly to the beauty of your home. Windows are noticeable any time of the day because they catch the light of the day or night. On the other hand, the roof is the crown of the home; it is most likely the first feature of your house a visitor observes from a distance. If you want to make a statement of luxury and display your appreciation for quality through your roof, consider selecting a stately roofing material such as, roof shingles; they are made from materials that are superior to most common roofing materials in Australia. Tried and tested on over 50 million homes, Roof Shingles offers a real point of difference for any new home. Don’t forget to ask your builder for GAF roof shingles. GAF are the best brand and number one in North America!

  Beyond the aesthetic appeal that the roof adds to the overall look of the home, its protective function is more important and should be considered first. More than any other part of the house, the roof protects the home from natural elements; such as rain, sun, heat, snow, and cold. This makes the roof a crucial aspect of your new home, it will not only determine the look of your home and protect you from nature, but it will also determine the amount of money you will spend on roof maintenance over the years.

Knock down rebuild Melbourne

The knock down rebuild industry is super competitive in Australia, especially in areas such as Melbourne where knocking down and rebuilding is the preferred option. In choosing your builder, it is normal to request for bids from various builders before selecting a builder for your reasons; however, money is always a factor that is considered. So it is essential to compare the quotes provided by builders and ascertain if the quotes provided will cover the cost of the best materials your budget can buy.

Knocking down and rebuilding your house is an interesting project with its unique challenges. Your patience will be tested as well as your knowledge through decision-making. Hopefully, this article has set you on the right path with the information shared. Good luck.
