When it comes to holiday hosting, your floor plan can be the unsung hero or hidden hurdle. Clarendon Homes understands the art of creating spaces where holiday magic (and maybe a little chaos) can unfold beautifully. Whether you're the laid-back type or the detail-oriented planner, Clarendon floor plans are designed to make your hosting dreams come true, one gathering at a time.
Open plan? Open invite!
Open-plan living is a party planner’s dream. It lets the chef stay part of the conversation, the kids roam free, and the seating arrangements stay flexible. Clarendon's floor plans give you that seamless flow from kitchen to living room to dining area, so whether you’re setting up a grazing table or building a gingerbread house village, there’s room for every holiday happening.
A kitchen that actually works
The kitchen is where all good hosting begins—and let's face it, ends. Clarendon's kitchens aren’t just for looks; they’re set up to handle the hustle and bustle of holiday hosting. Think generous bench space for prepping that show-stopping pavlova and enough room for your sous-chefs (aka kids or best friends) to chip in without crowding you. Bonus points for the island benches that double as a buffet station or cocktail bar, because who doesn’t want to keep the bubbly flowing?
Space to spread out (and sneak away)
Ever noticed how guests tend to congregate right in the busiest spots? With a Clarendon home, you’ve got options for creating little pockets of peace. For those who need a break from the crowd, cosy nooks and dedicated media rooms provide ideal hideaways. It’s the perfect balance between staying social and giving everyone room to breathe, chat, or sneak a nap between festivities.
Outdoor entertaining with ease
In Australia, summer holidays call for outdoor entertaining, and Clarendon Homes makes it easy to take the party outside. With thoughtful alfresco areas, you get that perfect spot for a barbecue, evening cocktails, or even an outdoor cinema night. Add a few string lights, some comfy seating, and voilà—you’ve created a festive atmosphere that feels as easy as a summer breeze.
Flexible guest spaces that wow
Hosting overnight guests? Clarendon’s floor plans make them feel at home with dedicated guest suites or flexible spaces that adapt to your needs. Whether it’s Grandma needing a quiet retreat or friends crashing after a long evening, you’ll have the space to accommodate them comfortably. No awkward blow-up mattresses in the lounge—just inviting rooms with inviting beds.
Host like a pro, live like a pro
Clarendon Homes floor plans make it easy to go from holiday host extraordinaire back to everyday life. After all the guests are gone, you’ll still have a beautiful home that’s designed to fit your lifestyle. So, if you plan to be a holiday season host, why not host like a pro in a home that elevates every moment? Because with the right floor plan, your holiday magic will be in full swing, from the first guest to the last goodnight.
