Planning and designing the interiors of your new home is one of life’s most exciting moments. Whether you’ve chosen a modular home for its efficiency, convenience, or design flexibility, styling your space is where your personality truly comes alive. Thoughtful styling can transform a blank canvas into a warm, welcoming sanctuary. Here are some practical tips to help you style your new home with ease.
Interior design not your forte? That’s ok! We offer a free consultation with our interior design partners at Eskay Design. Sarah and Heidi take a holistic approach, working with both the structure of the space and its softer details to create a home that’s functional and inviting. They carefully consider hard finishes like tiling and cabinetry, then seamlessly bring these together with furniture and the softer elements of your interiors.
Tip 1. Start with a Neutral Base
A neutral colour palette creates calm and balance while giving you flexibility to layer in textures and accents. Whites, soft greys, and warm beiges are timeless choices that allow statement pieces – like artwork or furniture – to take centre stage. In modular homes, where natural light often plays a starring role, neutrals also make spaces feel brighter and more expansive.
Tip 2. Embrace Texture and Layers
Style isn’t just about what you see – it’s about what you feel. Add dimension with textured rugs, linen throws, or woven baskets. Layering textiles not only makes your home feel cosy but also introduces depth to otherwise minimalist spaces. Timber accents and natural fibres pair beautifully with modular design’s clean lines.
Tip 3. Invest in Statement Pieces
Rather than filling every corner, focus on a few quality items that reflect your style. A bold sofa, a striking dining table, or an oversized piece of wall art can define a room without overwhelming it. Modular layouts often work best when spaces are uncluttered – so let a few key pieces speak loudly instead of many small ones competing for attention.
Tip 4. Bring the Outdoors In
Greenery softens interiors and connects your home to nature. Indoor plants like fiddle leaf figs, snake plants, or trailing ivy thrive in well-lit modular spaces. Not only do they look beautiful, but they also improve air quality and bring a sense of calm. Styling tip: cluster plants in groups of three for a more natural look.
Tip 5. Personalise with Meaningful Details
The finishing touches matter most. Display books you love, hang photos in stylish frames, or showcase travel treasures. These personal details make your home uniquely yours and create an inviting atmosphere for family and guests alike.
Tip 6. Keep it Flexible
One of the joys of a modular home is adaptability. Choose furniture that can be moved or reconfigured to suit changing needs – like modular sofas or multipurpose storage units. This flexibility allows your home to grow and change with your lifestyle.
