If you’re thinking about purchasing or building a new construction home, you’ve likely put a lot of thought into its appearance! For some, picking out material selections for a new build can be a bit overwhelming. How do you balance trendy elements with traditional features you won’t soon regret? In this blog post, we’ll be discussing a few ways you can add some pizzazz to your new build with confidence!

Now, let’s take a look at some ways you can add some pizzazz to your Kansas City new build!
Paint Colors You Love
Like most things in life, trends quickly come and go! When considering paint colors for your new build, choose the ones you genuinely like! Be sure to consider colors that will compliment your furniture and overall design preferences. When it comes to making your home the cozy space you’ve been dreaming of, you don’t need to choose paint based on a curated list. Go with your gut and don’t be afraid to add a bold pop of color here and there! Great places to add a pop of color in your home include the kitchen island, doors, and accent walls. Accent walls are especially striking on staircases, in offices, and in primary bedrooms!
Consider Functionality
If you want your home to look picture-perfect, you need to consider its functionality. Having great storage is essential for maintaining a beautiful household! For example, having a family entry by the garage with a drop zone is a great way to contain your everyday essentials such as shoes, coats, backpacks, and purses. Similarly, having built-in cabinets surrounding the fireplace in the living room offers lots of additional storage space for blankets, candles, board games, and seasonal decor.
Have Fun With Lighting
One of the best ways to add pizzazz to your new build is with lighting! There are so many cool light fixtures for each area of your home. Great areas for statement light fixtures include your foyer, staircase, and kitchen.
Focus On Flooring
Choosing the right flooring is a big decision! Not only do you want to choose beautiful floors for your new build, but you also need to make sure they’re durable and will withstand the test of time. Wide plank wood floors are a great option for the main living space. In the bathrooms, consider tile with a little grit to prevent slips and falls. Want something fun? Make your laundry room more appealing with a bold patterned tile!
Invest In The Primary Bathroom
When it comes to the primary bathroom, don’t cheap out! This is especially true for the shower. We recommend floor and wall tile, a bench, and heavy-duty shower glass. Some of our primary bathrooms even have the tub inside the walk-in shower! This allows runoff water to go down the shower drain while you’re drying off. If you have kids, they’ll love having a consequence-free space to splash during bath time!
Don’t Forget The Outdoors
Be sure to include an outdoor living space into your new build plans! From patios to decks, and covered structures, there are several ways you can spruce up your backyard! Many of our homeowners love having a screened-in covered deck. Imagine sipping on your morning cup of coffee as you watch the sunrise. Or, relax after a long day with a glass of wine while you hear the crickets chirp. Plus, having an outdoor living space is ideal for entertaining friends and family. Not only will you love having an outdoor living space as soon as you move in, but it’s often much more affordable to build alongside the rest of the home rather than later.

Our Promise
At Hearthside Homes, we understand that buying a home is a big deal! You want to make sure the home your purchase isn’t one you’ll regret in the future. That’s why all of our homes are inspected by third-party experts. In other words, we hire impartial third-party industry leaders to review each of our new construction homes! This comprehensive assessment involves a:
- Cosmetic inspection
- Third-party HVAC duct cleaning
- Third-party sewer line inspection
- Third-party home inspection
Many home builders don’t subject themselves to these extensive inspections. At Hearthside Homes, we want our buyers to have confidence in their purchase! That’s why we hire impartial pros to look over our work. In addition, we proudly offer a 12-month warranty on all of our homes. We even have a Warranty Manager on our team to make sure you have a go-to contact to reach out to if needed. You’ll have peace of mind when you buy with Hearthside Homes!

“I highly recommend Hearthside. This was my first time purchasing a home on my own (much less a new home), and they were wonderful. Communication was excellent. I loved seeing the home’s progress on their website. Everyone assigned to my home was fantastic. They did a great job preparing me to move into the home. They get five+ stars from me.”
