First impressions count, and when it comes to your dream home, that means an exterior that’s eye-catching for all the right reasons. A well thought-out exterior can boost your home’s kerb appeal, inform the interior design and increase its resale value. But ultimately, the perfect exterior is the one you will look forward to seeing every day when it warmly welcomes you home.

With thoughtfully considered interiors, your house can be the haven you retreat to and more. Clarendon Homes Head of Design Ryan Barnet says approaching your interior design with functionality front of mind is key. That means prioritising features that aren't easy to modify later.

One of Clarendon Homes’ most popular designs has re-opened in Sydney’s north west with the opening of the Bronte 28, back on display at Parklea.

Thanks to Marie Kondo and her minimal lifestyle phenomenon encouraging us to hold our worldly possessions to ask if they spark joy (and if not, out they go), we're all increasingly interested in the energy flow of our homes.
