Making it yours: two of our best tips to personalise your new build home

Making it yours: two of our best tips to personalise your new build home

At Redcliffe Homes, we understand that a house becomes a home when it reflects you, your style, your needs, and the way you live. One of the biggest benefits of choosing a new build is starting with a blank canvas, without the dated décor, hidden surprises, or limitations often found in older properties.

Because our team knows new build homes inside and out, we asked them to share their of their tops tips for personalising a Redcliffe home, making sure it feels like yours from day one.

1. Plan, plan plan

If you know what you want, talk to our team early, and even if you’re not quite sure yet, we’re here to help you figure it out.

It can be a common misconception that new build homes lack the uniqueness of pre-owned homes, but here at Redcliffe Homes we make personalisation easy. From kitchen units to built-in wardrobes and wall tiling, we offer a wide range of internal fixtures and fittings that you can choose from during the construction process.

The earlier you make your choices and indulgences, the better!

We know not everyone has the luxury of time to plan ahead, but our experienced team is here to guide you through every step. With their help, you’ll be able to make confident decisions that ensure your home feels just right the moment you move in.

As Eila and Derek, recent Redcliffe buyers in Wiltshire, discovered: “with the right homebuilder, making your home truly yours can start before you even move in.

“Granite worktops, chrome light switches, oak internal doors… even the towel rails were top quality,” Eila said. “You can tell Redcliffe uses first-class companies, not just the cheapest.”

2. Don’t follow trends, follow you

It’s easy to get swept up in what’s trending, from the latest kitchen colours, statement tiles, or “must-have” furniture pieces. Don’t get us wrong, it’s great inspiration, but before you jump on the bandwagon, take a step back.

Think about what actually suits you, your personality, your lifestyle, and how you really use your home.

Maybe you need a calm space for remote working, or a bold kitchen that makes entertaining feel special. Whatever it is, when you choose what genuinely works for your day-to-day life, your home will not only look great, it’ll feel right for years to come.

Eila and Derek have taken their time adding personal touches to their Redcliffe home, focusing on what matters most to them, like their balcony space, which they’ve turned into their own little retreat:

“You get amazing views, it’s perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening sunshine.”
