“EMILY OSMOND, FIRST HOME BUILD - FAMILY HOME WITH MODERN TOUCHES AND ARCHITECTURAL APPEAL.”

Whether you’re building a new home or renovating for the first time, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to selecting the perfect flooring. From timber and laminate to vinyl planks or carpet, each flooring option not only serves a functional purpose, but can establish the look, feel, and liveability of the entire home.

Carpet Court Style Collaborator and interior design enthusiast, Emily Osmond, recently undertook her first home build, constructing a spacious, light-filled family home with modern touches and architectural appeal.

For Emily, one of the biggest decisions when it came to creating the interior of her new home was the flooring. “When it came to designing the interior, we started from the ground and worked our way up, knowing that whatever material and colourway we decided to include on the floors would form the foundation of our entire interior style.”

EMILY’S TIPS FOR FINDING THE PERFECT FLOORING:

FLEXIBILITY - There is a lot of moving parts when it comes to building a home, so be open to adjusting your plans where needed.

BUDGET - Although first-time home builders typically work with a tighter budget, don’t skimp on your flooring or carpet – it will be walked on every day, so you want to ensure that they are of the highest quality.

CREATE A MOOD BOARD - We found it helpful to create a mood board for our project. It was an easy way to capture the overall aesthetic and feel of the home.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR DECISIONS - Different people will have their own personal tastes and opinions, but only you know the vision that you have for the home.
