Open plan living with aluminium shutters

Aluminium shutters have been used in this custom home built by McGowan Homes as a room divider. They can be opened for an open plan feel or closed to make the room feel darker and cosy.

Out-of-the Box Luxury Design Ideas

There is always the ‘extra’ element that many luxury homeowners strive to have included in their new home build. These extra luxury items are often hidden features that offer to lift those luxury homes to new levels of extravagance. Here are three, out of the box, luxury design ideas that you may not have considered, but should.

A New Type of Guest Suite

A guest suite is for guests, right? Well, instead of having a part of your property sit empty waiting for the on and off times when guests are visiting, why not create a multi-purpose suite? Think games room, man cave, personal gym or even a library. The guest suite is the perfect opportunity to add on a room you really would love to have but just can’t justify creating within your luxury home.  It really shouldn’t be a space wasted just on guests…

Entertainment Areas Galore

If you have space, be creative with your entertainment areas. Especially on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane with our beautiful Queensland weather, having great outdoor entertainment areas is a wonderfully luxurious addition to any custom designed home. For example, a private patio off of the master bedroom for your morning coffee, or a retro games room above the garage for a billiard table and bar. This is a good opportunity to be creative, consider the spaces and layout that you have to work with carefully and create something unique and luxuriously ‘extra’.

Tip from McGowan Homes // 

Louvre windows allow air to flow through almost 100% of the window. When they are opened it’s like free air conditioning but better because you control the strength of breeze allowed through.

Choosing colours for your home

Choosing the colour of your house is one of the toughest decisions you'll have to make. Your house colour will define your home’s character, look and feel – pick a bland and “safe” colour and your house might look boring. Choose a very bright and bold house colour and your home might stand out in the wrong way!

Top Tips for Choosing a Colour 

Pick a Style

Your house colour should reflect the overall style of the home. Are you into traditional styles or a more contemporary look? Do you prefer the classic elegance of white or the excitement and vibrance that bold colours give out? Consider the vibe you want to create before selecting a colour. 

Remember: The colour you choose will create an atmosphere around the house. Some colours are known to calm people while others ignite passion and strong emotions.

Test It First

So you've picked a colour you like? That doesn’t mean you should immediately paint your walls with it. We recommend you test it first, that way you can see whether it actually works in the space. 

Remember: Factors such as light can affect the colours of the paint, so be sure to take this into account when making the final decision.

Neutral Tones Provide Flexibility

If you're not 100% sure which colour to choose, remember that neutral colours provide flexibility. We believe that ceilings should always have neutral hues because dark ceilings can create an oppressive mood. Stick to the same idea when selecting large pieces of furniture – neural tones are easier to match with! 

Remember: If you choose a neutral base you have the flexibility to switch your room’s colour, look and feel by simply changing accessories like cushions and throw pillows. 

Be Inspired 

Colour is a personal choice, but it also impacts on the overall look and feel of your home. The colour scheme should reflect not only your personal taste but also tie into the overall style of your home.

Inspiration for colours are everywhere. If you can’t decide or are feeling stuck, simply talk a walk down the street and look at different houses. Hopefully you'll be able to identify a few colours that match the vision you have.

Where to start:

Study your neighbour’s house colour combination.

Get inspiration from nature.

Consider the areas in your home that won’t be painted such as the brick walls, windows and natural wooden door and think of the colour that will go well with them.

Seek the advice of a professional home designer and builder.

Why Build a Custom Home?

Building a custom home is a chance for all your dreams and visions to become a reality; it means you have the power to decide on every little detail: the layout, the room sizes, the finishes, and even the appliances. The end result allows you and your family to live within in a home the provides for a lifestyle that suits you – with everything you want at your fingertips.

Custom homes do take longer than project homes, but good things come to those who wait, and your patience will certainly be rewarded. There's nothing like that feeling when your keys are handed over and you walk inside your completed dream home for the first time. 

3 Reasons to Build a Custom Home

1. Freedom

Building a custom home gives you freedom to choose and decide on everything – from the sizes of the rooms, materials and finishes through to finer details like the colour of paint! 

You'll have greater control over the entire project because everything is based on your ideas, vision and preferences. At the end of the day, what matters most is that you're happy!

2. Tailor-Made

A custom home is tailor-made for you, according to your taste, personality and preferences. This means you have a voice throughout the entire project, giving you the opportunity to make changes and adjustments that you see fit. 

With a custom home, you can ensure that your house will be unique and bears a certain quality and character and personality that comes from you. At the end of the day, you can truly call it YOUR home.

3. Quality Assurance

You can be assured of your home's quality because you have a say on the standard everything that is used in its construction. You'll also be kept up to date with each stage, ensuring there are no hiccups along the way. 

You can choose the materials to use and select the features that you do, or don't want included. This also means you won't waste space and money on features that won’t benefit you and your family! 

Things to consider before building a custom home:

Budget is crucial because some materials and plans you have in mind might cost more than expected.

Building a custom home takes a lot of time and decision-making, so you need to be available and involved with the project every step of the way.

You need to engage an experienced builder who will guide you on construction matters and processes so you can create a realistic plan to build the custom home you’ve been envisaging.

With the right designer and builder by your side, building a custom home to suit your individual needs will be much easier than you might have thought! 

Building a custom home is rewarding but we understand it’s not for everyone! Please Contact Us for more details on how we can help you with you individual needs.
