Looking at a new home purchase

vor 8 Jahren

I am not in love with the box look of the house... I do like the space and interior... I need to consult with an architect to see if this is even makes any sense???

padubra - we don't have a photo, and I'm not getting the reference about what would make sense. What I can tell you is that typically, like a new car, buying a house new loses its value nearly immediately. Also, they come with hidden costs. New homes typically lack: irrigation, landscape plantings, window coverings, bath accessories (towel racks, robe hooks, tp holders). These really add up.

If you want to lose money, buy a brand new house. A gently used home will typically have these things and the market will have stabilized so you know the true value of the neighborhood. Unless your new home is infill in an established community, you won't be in the part of town considered to be "the nicest" and you will have paid a premium for the house because it is new. The materials and workmanship in older homes is often far superior to the workmanship and materials used by builders today. .. so think carefully before you buy a new home.

I disagree with the generality that new houses lose value. In our market a new house in the right place will change in value along with the rise and fall of the community's real estate market. A cookie cutter builder house is more likely to be priced higher than cost. If you build on your own lot with a reputable contractor it is possible to build more value into the project than you pay. Also in many neighborhoods older houses that need expensive work can have their value inflated by proximity to better homes. When buying an older home a certified inspector should be employed to check all electrical and mechanical systems and look for code violations and structural issues.

What colour/fabric for soft furnishings

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

I´ve read that article as well and think your statement is absolutely right: the meaning - or maybe better - the worth of correct lighting seems to be underestimatet. Clients often rather invest in design of a certain lamp than in quality of light. Another interesting fact you mentioned is the choice of surface in accordance to LED-lighting to minimize reflections. - Easy to understand but seemingly often forgotten. When we built our new home, my wish was a complete, in parts dimmable LED lighting system, that we realized in collaboration with a lighting designer. - So some of your aspects were already base of our working together. And although it looks rather technically (what I love indeed) it´s able to create both: warm light in the evening whilst sittig together with friends and family and a clear bright light for (e.g.) working or cooking. But apart of my own "homemade" experiences, I think it is a stunning service you offer clients by visiting all these projects at the fair and assess them under the specific criteria of correct lighting. Thumbs up! - Wish that more of the readers here notice your work and share it. It is a "mission" for you, isn´t it. ;-)

Since you are not allowed to paint the ceiling, it should be the only wooden surface in the room. The floor can be covered by either wall-to-wall carpet or a large rug, but please check if a door that opens into the room will still be operable. Multi-use and visually light furniture is important in such a tight space. I would replace the bunk bed (you're too grown-up anyway) with a nice sleeper sofa like, for instance, Flottebo. And I'd buy a comfy chair that can be used for reading and as a desk chair. It should be unobtrusive and easy to move like this feminine rattan chair. If you don't need a desk on a daily basis, I'd recommend a height-adjustable notebook table (on casters) that can double as a side table next to the sofa/ bed. Again, multi-use is the key. Once you've chosen new furniture, you can decide on curtains, rug/ carpet and other decorative elements. Wall colors are usually the last decision because you can have millions of hues individually mixed. Also consider how much natural light your room gets.

GVV - we agree. Cookie cutter builder houses are likely to be priced higher than cost and not hold that value. But a custom or semi custom home is often a great value - padubra mentioned she like the inside but not the outside, meaning she was likely looking at a model home. Model homes are standard evidence of a cookie cutter builder house.
