Trends in home design:

Angela and her team at Jennian Homes Marlborough are excited to see some great home design trends in the new Homes they are building locally. Everybody knows the kitchen is the heart of the home and clients are opting to personalize this area more than ever. Splashbacks are a focal point and mosaic tiles are still very popular. Personalized photos and pops of daring vibrant colours are also being seen more.

Gunmetal is the new black in tapware, especially with people wanting to be bold but keep an air of elegance and charm. Adding this darker yet slightly softer colour into the kitchen and bathrooms offers a stylish solution. Complimenting the ever popular marble-look tiles, these areas now ooze luxury and indulgence from the once white wash look. Another part of the home where people are adding their own personal touch is the front door. The brighter the better seems to be the trend with anything from blues, greens, yellows and reds. Warm and welcoming, the wood-look doors are also an outstanding choice with the fantastic range available now to suit any style. People are also opting to use a wood-look throughout the home. From beautiful plywood ceilings and walls, to hardwood floors with areas of plush carpeting, the options here are endless. Creating cozy living spaces as well as a practical hard-wearing finish, this really is a blend of traditional, modern and industrial.

In addition to this, there have been several requests for barn doors as stunning features in large living spaces. These doors roll on exposed tracks and are constructed of reclaimed timber, cedar or aluminum depending on the look clients are wanting. Looking at the technical trends on the rise, electronic key pads are increasingly popular for front doors. The keypad allows a keyless entry to the home and offers a convenient option for people. As the Jennian Marlborough Display Home in Corsair Crescent has one installed, people are able to have a good look at what this would be like in their own home. More and more electronic systems are finding their way into homes now, including

underfloor heating systems that can be turned on remotely and ducted heating and cooling systems which can be used at the press of a button.

Mother’s Day Heart Foundation Fun Run

Locally, Jennian Homes Marlborough organises and runs the Mother’s Day Heart Foundation fun run. This year, it will be held on Sunday May 12th . As there isn’t a Heart Foundation branch in Marlborough, Angela and others from Jennian organise the event and pull together a team of volunteers to co-ordinate everything on the day. She says they are always looking for more volunteers, if anyone would like to lend a hand. Marlborough is also playing a special part in the Heart Foundation’s well-known lottery, which sees a fully-furnished house as first prize, along with other prizes of travel, a car, and cash. Excitingly, the current lottery house is right here in Omaka Landing and tickets are on sale now. This is the 60th house Jennian has built for the good cause. The Heart Foundation House is open to view on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2pm until 3pm, and Sundays from 3pm until 4pm.

Helping you choose the best for your new home:

Jennian’s commitment to the community is just part of what makes it special, Angela says. It also works hard to ensure its owners and consultants are well-trained and up-to-date with all the latest product knowledge and what goes into the homes they build. Not only are the staff well-versed in the products and appliances used in the homes, the products are also of good quality, and that is backed up by our guarantees, Angela says. Jennian’s main points of difference are, the Completion Promise where in the 35+ years of trading Jennian has never not completed a build and they also offer a fixed price contract with no surprises. Jennian Homes Marlborough also offers New Home Build Information Sessions. Learn from the experts about the hidden costs of building and how to avoid surprises by designing a home, customised for you, to work within your true budget. Our regular building information sessions arm you with great information to help you on your journey to building your own home. These sessions are free of charge and are no obligation. The next sessions in Marlborough will be held at their Display Home, 7 Corsair Crescent. Sunday April 14 at 12:30pm Sunday May 23 at 12:30pm Please phone the office on 03 578 2017 to book your spot.
