Once you have nailed the style of your home, it’s time to select the right products to suit your chosen façade and interiors.
Building a home can be daunting at first, but once you’ve selected the look you want, it’s all about finding the products that can bring this to life. If you are building or renovating, it’s important to look at the whole package: the seen and unseen of your new house; how it looks and how it feels; and how it will last into the future.
Start by choosing the right exterior, which will also set the tone for your interior. Having the confidence in your style and decisions from the start will ensure your new home feels cohesive and reflects the way your family lives. It’s about creating a home from the roof down and from the outside in. Connect with your personal style, discover the home designs you favour, and choose the right colour palettes – then partner with CSR to create a home you love.
Here are some of the most popular home designs on the market and how to create them with CSR products:
Barnhouse
Barnhouse is an elegant, urban take on country style with an updated aesthetic and clean vertical lines. While traditional in floor plan, they often feature a streamlined facade, reflecting a modern sensibility.
Barnhouse homes feature classic cladding, a symmetrical gable roofline and long, open spaces. Consider a cladding in a timber style, which has the look you want, combined with the hard-wearing attributes of fibre-cement.

Modernist home designs complement a neutral palette, using soft textures that reference natural materials and reflects the trend towards rustic finished materials.
For a bolder and more streamlined look, some homeowners are opting for terracotta and red shades, particularly in roofing, echoing popular mid-century shades.

You can achieve the look of traditional exterior timber cladding by using fibre cement cladding in a weatherboard style. An engineered product with productivity and durability benefits, fibre cement can mimic traditional building materials such as weatherboards, while providing classic charm.
Contemporary
The key elements of a Contemporary design invoke a commitment to minimalism, allowing exteriors to flow seamlessly into the interiors using a pared-back palette and curvaceous shapes, reflected throughout the connecting spaces.

To achieve this look, you can play with textures and colours, contrasting cladding can have a strong visual impact. You can balance the look with recycled or rustic look brick walls, topped off with a warehouse-style roofline.
