5 Easy Steps to Putting the Finishing Touches on Your New Home

Between finding your ideal new house and moving into your ideal new home, there’s a magical step: choosing the finishing touches.
These are all the things that aren’t part of the walls or the flooring (though they sometimes hide behind or beneath them).
They give texture, color, and shape to any area, giving it just the right feel.
The finishing touches on a new home, the ones you get to choose, are what actually make it yours.
This 5-part guide to choosing new home finishes was intended to ensure that your home is perfect for you.

1. Establish a budget.

Create a flexible budget for your new home’s finishing touches. That is, figure out how much you want to spend on each room or feature area, but keep in mind that when you get into the fun part of putting up your final list of finishes, you’ll most likely shift your priorities around. Spreadsheets will be your best buddy during the budgeting process.

2. Decide on the finishes you want to use.

Often, there are a plethora of finishes and options available for your new house. All of the ways you may customize your new home, from appliances to worktops, backsplashes, flooring, lighting, and smart home features, are fascinating. After you’ve determined your budget, go over all of the finishes and features available on our online Design and decide which ones you actually want. Making a wish list on is more than just making a list of words. It’s an entertaining and engaging experience that walks you through a design checklist and a room visualizer so you can preview how some of your choices will look in your new home.

3. Make a list of your desired outcomes and rank them in order of importance.

This is the point at which your wish list becomes a reality. This is where you rank all of your options, decide which finishes you “would love to have” and which you “can’t live without,” and rearrange the list by priority. As you go through this process, you’ll find that finishes fall into several categories, and you’ll soon have the perfect list of finishes to truly personalize your home. Before you go to your Design appointment, you must complete this step.

Having a deadline to decide on all of your final finishing makes it much easier to complete the project.
