If you’re about to start on a new build for the first time, then you’re probably wondering what to expect at your new home colour selection appointment.
It’s fun and exciting! Picking out all the colours and materials starts out this way, until it’s not! Reality is most people end up with sleepless nights and become stressed out by all the decisions they have to make. It’s completely normal, we know because we’ve been there before.
BUT it doesn’t have to be this way, knowing what’s ahead can help. So, here’s everything you can expect at your new home colour selection appointment.
DECISION DELUGE
Downpour of Options
Have you heard the expression ‘Decision Fatigue’’? In a nutshell it means “Feeling all tangled up in making a good decision because you’ve got a ton of ’em to make.”
Just like a sudden downpour in a summer storm, heading into your new home colour selection appointment can feel like stepping into a deluge of decisions. Each choice is like a raindrop, seemingly small on its own but quickly accumulating into a torrential flood of options.
It’s not just about picking a benchtop; it’s about navigating through a storm of decisions about thickness, edging, and compatibility with your overall style and budget. When overwhelmed, you might rush decisions without careful consideration which only leads to regret later on. Much like seeking shelter from the rain, you’ll find yourself seeking clarity amidst the deluge of choices, hoping to emerge with a cohesive vision for your home. Hint – a vision board can help with that. Want to know how to weather the storm of decisions? We can show you how in our new online course Selections Made Simple.
MATERIAL BY MATERIAL
Your new home colour selection appointment is nothing like you see on renovating shows like ‘The Block’. Fortunately, it’s far less dramatic but rather than choosing or designing one room at a time you will be asked to select one material or colour at a time.
It’s like doing a “colour by numbers” activity, but on a larger scale. Instead of colouring an entire picture at once, you’re selecting one colour (or material) at a time for different areas of your home. So, rather than tackling the entire room in one go, you’re gradually filling in the “picture” of your home, piece by piece, until the whole design comes together beautifully.
Want stone benchtops?
You’ll choose your kitchen, bathroom and laundry all at once.
Cabinetry Colours
That’s right, you’ll choose these at the same time for every room.
Tiles
Yes, every room that has tiles needs to be chosen all together.
We can guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you make the best selections in the most efficient sequence. This saves you valuable time, money, and spares you from unnecessary stress! Our new course, Selections Made Simple, equips you with all the templates and cheat sheets you’ll ever need.
LOCK IT IN
Avoid increasing costs!
Depending on your builder and contract type you may need to sign off on your selections on the day. If we have learnt anything from our last 20 builds it’s that the less time spent preparing & planning the more time spent doubting. And do you know what happens next?
Changes and variation fees with your builder will cost you time and money.
You’ll want the confidence to lock it in and walk away without doubts, second guessing choices or fearing you’ll make a mistake that you’ll regret later. Feel impossible?
