But how do you turn a new house into a welcoming, comfortable home? Jones Homes offers our top tips on the ways you can add that personal touch and make your new build home truly yours.

Why consider a new build home? 

One of the biggest appeals of new build homes is that they present a fresh start for the owner. There are no remnants of its owners, no inherited repairs and most importantly no unexpected surprises lurking behind old wallpaper. Everything is new, from the roof to the floors, the plumbing to the electrics. This means that you can move in with peace of mind, knowing that your home is safe, secure and built to the last. When you choose a Jones Homes new build home, you’re not just opting for modern design and state-of-the-art features, you’re also gaining the peace of mind that comes with the NHBC Buildmark Warranty.

Another appeal of new build homes is their modern design. These homes are equipped with energy-efficient and green technology, from double glazing to high standard insulation, which can save you money on your energy bills while reducing the carbon footprint of you and your family. Many new build homes also come with open-plan living spaces, sleek kitchens and contemporary bathrooms, making them perfect for modern living.

Making it personal

After finding the perfect new build home, the next step is making it yours. One of the first things to consider is the layout. Whilst new builds are designed with modern living in mind, there is always room to add your personal touches. Consider how you use your space and what will make your home work best for you. Whether that is a cosy reading spot by the window or a spacious dining area to share meals with those you love, think about the little changes you can make to suit your lifestyle.

Decorating is where your personality really begins to shine through. With a new build home, you have the freedom to select colours, textures and furnishings that reflect your unique style. You could opt for a neutral base to keep the space light and airy, then add splashes of colour through accessories like cushions, rugs and artwork. Personal mementos, family photos and keepsakes can make your house feel like home and provide comfort in your new surroundings.

The importance of community

Part of making a new build home feel like yours is to connect with your surroundings. New build developments often come with a built-in sense of community, as many residents relocate around the same time. This creates a unique opportunity to form friendships and connections with your neighbours, built on shared experience. Why not consider joining local clubs, attending community events or simply introducing yourself to those around you? A strong sense of community can significantly enhance your living experience and make your new build home feel like a place where you really belong.

Those final touches…

As you settle into your new build home, don’t forget the outside space. Your garden can be an extension of your living area and is perfect for creating a relaxing retreat. Planting flowers, adding outdoor seating or even creating a small vegetable garden on your plot can make your new space feel more like home.

Don’t forget that making a house a home is a journey. It is about infusing your space with memories, love and personality. With a new build home from Jones Homes, you have the perfect foundation to start this exciting new chapter in your life.
