Building your own home from scratch may be a bit daunting, but there are certainly plenty of benefits to it, from the joy of having creative control over your vision to the money you could actually save.
Here are 7 reasons why you should start creating your dream home now.
If you build your own home, you will only need to pay stamp duty on the land, not the house. You may also be eligible for stamp duty concessions if you buy off the plan.
If you’re a first home buyer, you may also be eligible for the First Home Owners Grant.
Visit firsthome.gov.au for more information.
New homes have higher energy efficiency standards and are made from new materials with new appliances, so you may be able to save money on energy bills.
This is especially the case if you decide to build a home using ‘passive design’ techniques that take advantage of the sun, insulation, energy-efficient glazing and more.
Phew! If anything goes wrong in your new home, you can breathe a sigh of relief and know that it will be fixed by the builder – all new Australian homes are covered by a minimum structural warranty between five and seven years on completed work. Some builders even offer extended structural warranties for even longer periods of time.
This is in contrast to buying an already established home, where it’s up to you to pay for any structural issues.
Instead of inheriting less than ideal elements from an old house and compromising on the kind of home that you’d actually like to live in, building one of your own means you’re in control. While it can be a stressful process, it can also be quite rewarding.
Perhaps you’d like a generous kitchen island and marble benchtop with a sunroof above. Or maybe you’ve been yearning for a large backyard with space for the kids to play in. Now’s your chance to make that happen.
Want to avoid spending endless weekends going to inspections, not to mention the emotional rollercoaster that comes with attending countless auctions? Build your own home.
Older homes may have charm and appeal, but they often come with outdated appliances. If you build your own home, you can have it fitted with all the modern conveniences that you wish, from the latest dishwasher to a brand new stove.
While it may have its risks, buying off the plan often means you can buy a brand new home at a cheaper price.
Developers often need to sell a certain number of properties to sell off the plan in order to meet their finance and begin construction, so if you get in early, you could snag yourself a bargain.
Chinese New Year is the perfect time to revamp your home and bring some fresh energy to your space.
The ancient Chinese art of feng shui is a great way to put together a beautiful home by bringing in a positive flow of energy. Here’s how to bring some happiness to your home using a few basic feng shui techniques.
In feng shui, energy enters your home via the front door, so it’s important to keep that area clear of clutter, yet warm and inviting.
Get rid of any mess in that area and instead, show it some love by perhaps placing a stylish console table to the side or laying a beautiful doormat or runner on the floor. It can even be as simple as regularly maintaining your front door by giving it a new coat of paint or cleaning it with a lint-free cloth or sponge to remove dirt and dust.
In feng shui, your living room should be clean, light, airy and free of clutter to attract positive energy.
Different shaped mirrors and various kinds of lights are a great way to bring light and positive energy into the room if you don’t have many windows.
While feng shui may dictate how to configure your home, one of its basic rules is the importance of creating a beautiful, balanced home by using common design principles. For example, choosing the best sized couch or rug for your living room.
Plants are a wonderful way of creating a feng shui-friendly home by activating positive energy in your space. The best time to introduce new plants into your home is at the start of the month or year when it symbolises a healthy beginning for you, your family and loved ones.
When it comes to choosing plants, look for those with curved or round leaves, instead of spikes or thorns. For example, peace lilies, philodendrons, bamboo and ferns.
The best spots to place plants in your home are in the east, south and southeast areas.
Don’t forget to take care of your plants – dying plants bring bad energy into the home, so water them as needed, put them in a sunny spot in your home and place them in beautiful pots.
In feng shui, it’s believed that a water feature or fountain can attract abundance and wealth, from great work opportunities to financial success.
Ideally, the water will be constantly flowing and placed near your doorway (but not blocking it) to attract extra cash or career opportunities.
The best place to put your water feature is in either the east, southeast or north corners of your home. Avoid placing it in the bedroom or underneath the stairs.
Create an outdoor space that will make your home the number one go to for family and friends gatherings.
Go outside and envision your ideal outdoor space for you and your friends and family.
Ask yourself questions including, Will we be eating and drinking a lot outside? Are pets going to be roaming the area? Does this have to be a kid-friendly space? Is this space protected from rain? How many people will need to fit comfortably in the space?
Once the purpose of your outdoor space is identified it is easy to understand what you will need to enhance the atmosphere of the area. A must for a social outdoor space is of course a Barbeque – how can a family/friends outdoor get together be complete without one? It can’t! You can get your perfect barbeque from Barbeques Galore.
Furniture is an important element of an outdoor space, it can make or break the comfort of being outside. The Furniture Shack in Aspley has a sale on right now on a whole range of their outdoor furniture. Out On The Patio can also assist in finding the best outdoor furniture for your friends and family to enjoy.
Of course you will need to make sure you have a trendy place for afternoon drinks! Rice Furniture in Aspley has bar tables and bar stools that will make your home the number one preference to go to. Also, if you are looking for other brands, our Furniture Stores in Nunawading is hosting the Good Guys Nunawading and the Adairs Nunawading, and it would be awesome for you that will spend some time in this city.
If you are looking for a more casual atmosphere, perhaps a comfortable place for children to hang out at, The Furniture Shack and Out On The Patio have the perfect outdoor tables to go with your lounge.
Don’t miss the live music performed at Rice Café every Sunday from 11am – 2pm. It’s the perfect way to spend your Sunday sessions – eating a delicious recovery brunch, sipping on a colourful milkshake and listening to live music.
Small bedrooms can have a big impact with the right design and use of space. Whether you opt for the illusion of space or embrace what you have, there are endless ways to make a small space livable and chic.
Colours can make a world of difference to the look of a small bedroom. The darker the paint on the walls, the heavier the atmosphere and the more enclosed the room looks. Select light coloured paints, preferably pastel shades to make the room look open, light, and airy. Or you could look at light coloured wallpaper with small light patterns or designs.
All rooms tend to collect junk and the bedroom is the worst of them. Take a close look at your small bedroom. What are the non-essential things in it? Remove them all and see how much more space you suddenly have.
It may not be floor space, but even having an open dresser top or uncluttered bedside table can make the room seem more open.
Optimise your space with creative thinking and creative storage from Howards Storage.
There is space under the bed and at the bottom of the closet that often is lying idle. The space under the beds is ideal for exercise equipment or things that are needed just once on a day. To make access even easier keep your old shoe boxes to use as storage so they can be easily retrieved. High mounted (but not unreachable) shelves on the walls will also free up space below giving the room a more clean and open look.
Lighting plays an important role in how a room looks. This does not mean that brighter is better – a bedroom lit up like a Vegas casino is not a place that you will be comfortable in. But keeping the lighting reasonably bright and using pendant lights or standing lights to focus the lighting ensures that there are no areas that are in shadow or sudden changes from bright areas to darker ones will give the room a feeling of being more open. Andrews Light Up can help with providing the perfect solution to get the lighting right the first time.
Investing in custom bedding to suit the size and style of the room. This will allow you to optimise space while complimenting the look and feel of the room.
Snooze in Aspley offers custom beds with nifty storage solutions and decorative bed heads to suit any style!
