How A New Build Property Can Garner A Traditional Feel

How A New Build Property Can Garner A Traditional Feel

House-hunters are compelled to new build homes for a variety of reasons, amongst them their freshness and in offering a clean slate for buyers to etch their personality.

But some consider them slightly characterless and deficient in charm and warmth. There’s also an audience who, although covet a new build, don’t seek anything super-modern and sleek.

Whether already in ownership of a new build or seeking to purchase one, it’s quite effortless to embed some traditional charm into it if that’s your desired aesthetic.

James Oliver knows this from experience having been involved in legions of undertakings aimed at giving new builds a slight or ample touch of the traditional.

Update to heritage window designs

Windows do much to embody the overwhelming appearance of a traditional residence and are characterised by their intricacy and timelessness. For an emulation of this look at a new build, let us present to you our heritage cottage windows.

We’ve modelled the design of cottage windows on the styling of windows from an era long-ago, but given them cutting-edge energy efficiency and functionality. Broach the subject of customisation with an advisor if you would like to have elaborate glazing bars or divided panes added to imitate classical architecture.

Heritage windows of this realm will enrich your home’s personality and also fill its interiors with natural light, establishing a luxury ambience.

Pick an enduring colour hue

The accomplishment of imbuing traditional charm in new builds requires an appropriate choice of window and door finish. Modern homes normally exhibit modest colour tones, such as cream, white, and black, but implementation of traditional hues can infuse heritage undercurrents.

Chartwell Green is one such shade and perfectly embodies the ageless quality we speak of. A pared-down green shade, it has a tranquillity and sophistication to it and induces thoughts of estates located out in the countryside and landmark manor houses.

A front entryway in Chartwell Green coexisting with a white trim will do more than just inject elegance. It has the ability to differentiate the new build from its contemporaries.

Application of vintage touches

Traditionalism can be executed through elements like old light fixtures, lavish door furniture, reclaimed wooden beams, and rustic flooring, which will also inject a bit of old-world character.

Complement with some kind of statement furniture piece that’s charmingly worn or cover walls in heritage-inspired wallpaper, artwork, and framed botanical prints. Also, usher in textures made from natural materials (wood and stone) for faithful authenticity to prestigious abodes.

A smattering of vintage touches can turn what formerly felt an impersonal location into something that seems lived-in.

Mixing the old with the new transcends the elevation of aesthetics, uplifting comfort and heralding recollections of past generations, and with the outlined recommendations, is undemanding to engineer.
