Moving into a new build home is an exciting opportunity to create a space that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle.  

At Jelson Homes, we want to help you make your house a home, so have put together some home décor ideas and tips for personalising your new Jelson property.

1. Start with a colour scheme 

Choosing a colour scheme is one of the easiest ways to personalise your new home. Whether you prefer neutral tones for a calming effect or bold colours for a vibrant atmosphere, your choice of colours can set the tone for each room. Here are some room colour ideas: 

• Neutral tones: Shades of white, beige, and grey create a timeless and versatile backdrop. 

• Bold accents: Incorporate bright hues like teal, mustard, or deep blue for a pop of colour. 

• Feature walls: Use wallpaper or a contrasting paint colour on one wall to create a focal point.

2. Incorporate greenery 

Adding plants not only improves air quality, but also adds life and colour to your home. Choose plants that suit your lifestyle and the lighting conditions of your space like: 

• Low maintenance plants: Succulents are great for beginners. 

• A herb garden: Create a small herb garden in your kitchen or outdoors for fresh ingredients at your fingertips. 

3. Personalise with textiles 

Textiles like rugs, cushions and throws add texture, colour and comfort to your home. They’re easy to change seasonally or whenever you are looking for a quick refresh. Some ideas for personalising your space with textiles include:  

• Area rugs: Perfect for defining spaces and adding warmth.  

• Cushions: Mix patterns, textures and sizes for a cosy and stylish look.  

• Throws: Drape over sofas or beds for added comfort and colour.  

4. Utilise wall space 

Maximise your wall space with functional and decorative elements. Shelves, hooks, and pegboards can help keep your home organised and stylish. Consider these ideas to decorate your home wall space:  

• Floating shelves: Display books, plants, and decorative items. 

• Wall hooks: Hang coats, bags, or even kitchen utensils. 

• Pegboards: Use pegboards in any room which can be versatile and customisable.

5. Add personal touches 

Ultimately, your home should be a reflection of you, so incorporate personal touches that make the space uniquely yours by:  

• Displaying memories: Showcase treasured family heirlooms and family photos.  

• Create custom pieces: Display art or furniture pieces through DIY projects.
