First impressions count, and when it comes to your dream home, that means an exterior that’s eye-catching for all the right reasons. A well thought-out exterior can boost your home’s kerb appeal, inform the interior design and increase its resale value. But ultimately, the perfect exterior is the one you will look forward to seeing every day when it warmly welcomes you home.
With thoughtfully considered interiors, your house can be the haven you retreat to and more. Clarendon Homes Head of Design Ryan Barnet says approaching your interior design with functionality front of mind is key. That means prioritising features that aren't easy to modify later.

As Australians, we’re very aware of the amazing climate we enjoy. Unlike our European and North American neighbours, our milder seasons often mean that for much of the year, we have the option of living outdoors.
There’s a reason why the most beautiful homes have well cared for front gardens - and it’s not just about impressing the neighbours. For many, stepping through the front gate and putting the key in the door signals time to unwind, exhale and just be themselves.
There was a time when single storey designs ran a poor second to their double storey counterparts. Not anymore. The Airlie 30, on display at Clarendon’s Warnervale Display Centre in Hamlyn Terrace, is part of a new generation of single level designs offering the convenience of having everything within easy reach without compromising on the comforts, privacy and sophisticated style modern families have come to expect.
