Design Guide

Curating Your Style

When our clients think of their dream home, they spend a bit more time thinking about colours and features than they do thinking about the foundations and drainage. That’s what makes the design process one of the most anticipated in the home-building journey. Choosing interiors that align with your style and personality brings your house to life and makes it feel like home.

Our Colours & Selections consultants will discover your style and match you with a design that feels like home. We have a huge range of colour palettes and design aesthetics for you to choose from. So, if you have every element of your home in your head or are ready to get inspired, let us help you on your home-building journey.

Where To Start

The choices can be overwhelming when you first start looking at your interior scheme, but there’s tools you can use to narrow down your preferences.

Start by exploring the Swanbuild gallery and find homes that grab your attention. Once you start collating images you like, you’ll start seeing a common theme emerge.

Create a Pinterest board, pin colours, patterns, materials, then narrow them down into collections that work nicely together – it might be that you have several schemes to consider.

Take a walk in nature, explore galleries, look around your current home and observe what you like and what you don’t like – inspiration can come from anywhere!

Check out our suppliers below – peruse tile galleries, paint colours and flooring materials.

Finally, check out our blogs, including this one on blog on colour combinations to learn more about colour placement and how to tastefully inject colour into your home.
