If you’re planning a visit to Shoreline’s display village, here are some key home design elements to consider that may help bring your dream home to life. 

Flow and function

The flow and function of a home is definitely something to be mindful of. Each family’s needs are different, so be sure to visualise how you would live in a home. Examine each space and orientation to determine whether individual areas can accommodate your family’s requirements. See where windows could be positioned within rooms to maximise natural light- remembering that east and west facing windows will receive a lot of sunlight in summer. Also make note of where natural airflow and breezes come from. You could consider how you want to move between spaces such as kitchen and entertainment areas, and think about the function of each room in relation to your stage of life. 

Love your layout

From open plan living through to single vs double storey abodes, your home’s layout needs to be tailored to suit your family’s needs. Are you a growing family that requires multiple breakout spaces and bedrooms, or perhaps you have older children and would like some separation between sleeping quarters? Do you work from home and need a dedicated office area? Maybe you love to entertain, so easily connected indoor/outdoor spaces are a priority. Walking through a house can help you visualise plans on paper, so make a list of your non-negotiables and see which display home layouts feel right for you. 

A façade focus 

From classic Hamptons through to modern urban designs and cool coastal vibes, your home’s façade sets the entire tone of your brand-new abode. So what’s your style? There are 22 display homes at Shoreline to visit, each offering a unique façade design, so its easy to determine what feels right for you.

Find your finishes

From shaker cabinetry through to sharknose doors, finishes are another way to make a design mark on your house. Go through Shoreline’s display homes and make of note of any finishes that you’re drawn to, or discuss any variations available through your builder. There are a number of elements to consider, for example, cabinetry. Do you like the traditional look of shaker cupboards or perhaps you’d prefer modern soft close sharknose doors? When it comes to tapware, are you drawn to brass or silver? Perhaps you want wallpaper, or are you looking for low maintenance tiles?
