Bringing A Touch Of The Traditional Into New Builds

Bringing A Touch Of The Traditional Into New Builds

New build homes are an attractive proposition to buyers for a host of reasons, but amongst the biggest is their fresh construction and awaiting personalisation.

A downside for some is they often don’t possess much charm or warmth and certain new builds are regarded as just too modern and sleek.

To get the traditional look and feel in a new build isn’t as hard as it may sound and can be infused in lots of ways.

Once accomplished, it has the potential to massively distinguish a new build from bordering properties.

Imbue the stylishness of heritage windows

A traditional residence’s overall character emanates strongly from the windows it has, which are generally intricately made and boast an enduring aesthetic. Our heritage window collection incorporates several styles that mirror their appeal.

Bygone sash windows are a good example, replicating the intrinsic charm of the windows of yesteryear but with present–time thermal qualities and up-to-the-minute functionality. Embellish their appearance with authentic hardware and available supplementary and authentic touches relayed to you by a County advisor.

Heritage windows enliven external aesthetics and funnel in larger volumes of light from outside to herald cosier and friendlier atmospheres.

Nominate a timeless hue

Colour choice for windows and doors can also embed the traditional charm a new build owner seeks. White, black, and cream, all very minimalist finishes, feature widely at modern properties, but there are a legion of hues that sit within the traditional palette.

Count Chartwell Green amongst them, popularised in many window and door installations. Let us unravel the shade by detailing its soft, muted green colour, one that radiates tranquillity and sophistication, like you’d associate with country estates and famous manor houses.

Greet guests to your new build with a Chartwell Green door and accompanying white trim for an elegant entryway and to put it a step ahead of your stereotypical new build facade.

Embrace some vintage-like details

Welcome in features such as antique light fixtures, ornate door hardware, reclaimed wood beams, rustic flooring and more to embed any missing personality into your internals and add a traditional twist.

Complement them with some kind of statement furniture piece, like an armchair or sofa with a distressed finish, and walls adorned with vintage artwork, patterned wallpaper, and framed botanical prints. Employing the natural materials of wood and stone is also very in keeping with traditional theming.

A soulless new build will be anything but after the incorporation of vintage details to give it that lived-in feel.
