Creating a cohesive and stylish look for your home can often feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to selecting the right colours, materials, and finishes. Pre-designed colour schemes offer a practical and versatile solution, simplifying the decision-making process while allowing you to achieve a beautifully curated look that reflects your personality and lifestyle. Let’s explore the advantages of these thoughtfully crafted schemes and how they can elevate your home design journey.
Streamlined Selection Process
One of the primary benefits of pre-designed colour schemes is the convenience they provide. These schemes are carefully curated by our professional interior designers to ensure that every element works harmoniously together. By choosing a pre-designed option, you eliminate the guesswork involved in selecting colours and finishes, saving time and reducing stress. This is particularly valuable for homeowners who may feel unsure about their design choices or overwhelmed by the multitude of options available.
Versatility and Style
Pre-designed colour schemes are not one-size-fits-all. They offer a wide range of styles and themes to suit different tastes and architectural designs. Whether you prefer the clean lines of Scandinavian minimalism, the timeless elegance of Hamptons style, or the raw textures of industrial chic, there is a colour scheme to match your vision. These schemes are designed to balance aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that your home not only looks stunning but also feels comfortable and practical.
Inspiration for Personalisation
While pre-designed schemes provide a strong foundation, they also serve as a source of inspiration for homeowners to inject their own personality into the design. As Dee Kidd, Senior Interior Designer for Kingsbridge Homes, shares, “Gather inspiration to design your dream home. View builder display homes as they will often feature different design styles such as Industrial, Hamptons or Scandinavian. Pinterest, real estate websites and magazines are also useful tools.”
By starting with a pre-designed scheme, you can easily personalise your home by adding unique touches such as accent colours, bespoke furnishings, or curated decor pieces. Dee recommends building a mood board to help refine your vision: “Exploration and research will help narrow down the look and feel. Build a mood board by collecting photos and swatches of different textures, products, colours or finishes that reflect your personal style and preference. Have fun, be creative and experiment with different colours and styles to establish your home’s vision.”
Staying on Trend
Pre-designed colour schemes often incorporate the latest trends in interior and exterior design, giving your home a contemporary and stylish edge. According to Dee, “Working from home has placed an added focus on home office designs and styling to bring the outside in. Plants add colour to spaces. Although a grey and white colour palette is still very popular, more natural colours are now coming through such as beige and greige to create warmth and texture. Accent colours in paint and soft furnishing pieces using sage green, ocean blue or ochre enhance visual interest.”
Sustainable materials such as timber and stone remain highly sought after, and timeless styles like coastal or classic contemporary continue to resonate with homeowners. Dee draws inspiration from nature and Australian landscapes: “A lot of my design inspiration comes from nature, the Australian coastal areas and countryside.”
Expertly Curated by Designers
Pre-designed schemes reflect the expertise and insights of professional designers who draw from diverse sources of inspiration. Dee explains, “I often refer to design history to see how a particular style has evolved and adapted over time to the Australian way of living. Real estate websites provide inspiration for new projects, while forecasting from various home suppliers as they share the latest overseas trends and new materials about to be released.”
Dee also emphasises the importance of balancing form and function in design, citing Seesaw’s quote: “Design is a balance between form and function. It takes two.”
