10 Ways to Add Character to a New Build Property
You may have noticed a shift in interior trends lately, moving away from plain and simplistic design, to schemes packed with beautiful florals, lots of frills and plenty of panelling (hands up who added panelled walls to their homes over lockdown!?). With the trend for ‘cottagecore’ and more traditional interiors ever-growing comes the desire to add personality and character to homes that don’t naturally hold these qualities. We’ve therefore compiled a useful guide to help you add character to your new build or more modern abode. Follow our simple guide and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to add instant personality to your home.
A wooden font door is the perfect way to add character to a more modern property, simply paint your door, following Thames Valley Window Company’s advice below, in a colour of your choice to add an instant touch of character.
Red Brick Exteriors
Opt for contrasting tones of deep navy, which pairs so elegantly with gold hardware, or choose a more muted creamy tone, with a warm base to complement the red exterior.
Brown Brick Exteriors
Browns carry a natural earthy tone; a dark and rich green is the perfect pairing with this brick type.
Cream and White Exteriors
Pink, blue and green pair well with shades of off white, why not be bold and create a show-stopping entrance with a pop of colour.
Complete your door with brass or gold handles, knockers and letterboxes for a traditional look
Pair with panelled walls to help to break up busy patterns and add a touch of floral delight to your new home for an easy way to add individuality and flair to your interior.
