interiors

While it is important how your house looks from the outside, the interiors are equally important. Hebridean Contemporary Homes have designed interiors which are light, modern and surprisingly spacious.

Space

Most modern homes have the same ceiling height throughout the house. Our designs provide changes in volumes by opening the living room to the apex of the roof. Combined with the open-plan design, this adds drama to the interiors and gives an unexpected feeling of space.

Inside-outside

Large windows mean that dramatic views can be exploited, but more than this is achieved with our designs. The floor to ceiling sliding doors means that the boundary between the inside and outside of the houses becomes blurred, bringing the landscape in to the house. And by painting window frames a neutral colour you will help focus the eye on the exterior landscapes.

Materials

Using the natural colours of materials can bring a warmth and contemporary feel to your home. For example, a solid oak can be used in the floor and the kitchen worktop; a slate lobby can be echoed in the hearth. Choose from a limited palette of materials to tie in with the beautiful simplicity of the designs.

Fittings

Again, simplicity can be the key when choosing kitchens and bathrooms. While many people have their own favourite styles of kitchen, we would recommend a careful choice of worktop and tap so that they become a feature in the house. And for bathrooms, look at www.bathstore.com for a range of traditional and modern designs.

At the end of the day, you will decide how the interior of your new home will look. But by keeping things simple and uncluttered, the full beauty of the Hebridean Contemporary Homes designs will be realised.
