Terrace Home Design Inspirations for Your First Home: Embracing Clever Design on Narrow Blocks

In this blog, we delve into why terrace homes are a great investment for first home buyers. Nestled amidst the vibrant community of Aura on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, our award-winning Hyde display home stands as a beacon of modern design and ingenuity, showcasing how to create a spacious and stylish first home home within the confines of a compact footprint. Perfectly suited for first-time home buyers seeking a balance of affordability, functionality, and modern aesthetics, terrace homes are a testament to the power of clever design in maximising space and building a home that is both practical and inspiring.

A contemporary and inviting interior

Stepping inside the Hyde, one is immediately greeted by a contemporary and relaxed ambiance, infused with a sense of sophistication and warmth. A cohesive colour palette of whites, muted greens, and deep walnut timber tones creates a sense of harmony throughout the home. The kitchen, a focal point of the living area, boasts sleek and modern finishes, featuring benchtops and ample storage space. The strategically positioned ‘European’ style laundry is tucked away behind a feature wall, allowing for a seamless transition between zones within the open-plan layout.

Maximising space without compromising style

The Hyde display home is not just about aesthetics; it’s also a testament to innovation and clever design solutions. To maximise space without compromising style, AUSMAR’s design team carefully curated a floor plan that comprises three bedrooms, two spa-inspired bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen. This remarkable feat was achieved on a mere 4.6-metre wide lot, demonstrating the designers’ ability to think outside the box.

Why terrace homes are a perfect fit for First Home Buyers

First home buyers are increasingly turning to terraces as an affordable and stylish option to enter the property market. And for good reason. Terraces offer a number of advantages over other types of dwellings, including:

Affordability: Terraces are typically more affordable than detached houses or apartments. This is because they are smaller and are often located in less expensive areas.

Low maintenance: Terraces are relatively low maintenance, as they do not have as much outdoor space as detached houses.

Convenience: Terraces are often located close to public transport, shops, and other amenities.

Affordability does not mean sacrificing design. It is possible to create an affordable and stylish terrace. With a little planning and creativity, you can create a home that you love. Here are a few tips for creating an affordable and stylish terrace:

Use neutral colours: Neutral colours will make your terrace feel larger and brighter.

Add pops of colour with accessories: You can add pops of colour with accessories, such as throw pillows, curtains, and artwork.

Get creative with storage: There are a lot of creative ways to add storage to your terrace. For example, you could use baskets, bins, and shelves.

Terraces are emerging as the new ‘want’ for first home buyers because they offer a number of advantages over other types of dwellings, including affordability, low maintenance, convenience, and style. With a little planning and creativity, you can create an affordable and stylish terrace that you will love to call home. AUSMAR is your one-stop shop for all your Sunshine Coast terrace home needs.
