As 2024 winds down, let’s take a look at the top design trends that really moved the needle—and the furniture. From smarter layouts to cosy upgrades, our homes have a style that’s hard to ignore. If you’ve already jumped on these trends, congrats, you’re ahead of the game.

Stepping into a new home build can feel a bit like stepping into the unknown—exciting, but also a little daunting. But what if you could get a sneak peek at your future? That’s exactly what visiting a Clarendon display home offers—a first-hand experience of the home you’re about to build, right down to the flooring and kitchen bench.

So, you’ve landed the perfect location, but the house? That's another story. Enter the knockdown rebuild (KDR) process—a game-changing solution that lets you stay in the area you love while upgrading your home to match your lifestyle (and perhaps your Pinterest board).

You’re ready to elevate your house into a home—a harmonious blend of style and comfort. However, there’s one important decision ahead: selecting the perfect colours and finishes.

Find out the why, how and when to start behind budgeting for a new build from the experts at Clarendon Homes.
