Design & Finishes Workshop

The design and finish of your home should be carefully considered. Not only will it allow you to express your personal taste and preferences, but it will also give the impression of the quality of the build.

From your choice wall finishes, lighting and floor coverings to doors, kitchens and bathrooms - a huge amount of thought will need to be given to the design, materials and layout in the early part of any homebuilding project.

Design & Finishes Workshop

Our September workshop – which has had its own fresh makeover - has been created to introduce a few of the options available to you and provide some excellent ideas to help you choose the best solutions for your home.

During the day, you can enjoy a range of seminars delivered by our experts and meet a number of suppliers in our ‘Finishes Zone’.

Once the main structure is completed the last stage of the build is traditionally called the finish or ‘second fix’, you’ll have a huge choice of methods to complete the look and feel of your house. This workshop is suitable for self builders and home renovators alike, to help you make these decisions.

Although ‘Finishes’ focuses on the latter stages of a project, it is important to do your planning early, rather than as an afterthought, to save time and money (whilst keeping your stress levels down!). Getting this right can help you envision how your ideal home will look and feel once completed, and allow you to map out the next stages of your project with confidence.

From selecting the perfect paint colours to choosing the right flooring, lighting, and fixtures - our team of selected exhibiting partners will guide you through each step with practical advice and creative ideas. You'll learn about the latest trends in interior design, sustainable materials, and smart home technologies that can add both style and functionality to your space.

The workshop will also provide advice on the external look of your home and how the materials and products you select can impact the performance and value of the completed property.
