New build homes have a lot of appeal due to their modern design, energy efficiency, and customisable features. Buyers are often drawn to the fresh aesthetics, contemporary layouts, and advanced technology integrations that new builds offer. Additionally, these homes typically require less maintenance compared to older properties, as they are equipped with the latest materials and systems. Many new builds also come with warranties, providing peace of mind for homeowners. As a result, new build homes represent an attractive option for first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade their living situations.
However, one significant con and dilemma that new build homeowners face is the standard white and grey wash throughout the house, which can feel impersonal and uninspired. While these neutral palettes are intended to appeal to a broad audience, they often lack the warmth and character that many buyers desire in their living spaces. Homeowners may find it challenging to infuse their unique personality into such a blank canvas without significant time, effort, and expense. Moreover, it can lead to dissatisfaction if they feel their home does not stand out or reflect their individual style. Consequently, many new build homeowners are left contemplating how to transform their generic interiors into vibrant, inviting spaces that truly feel like home.
Mr. and Mrs. W’s Journey to Personalisation:
After searching for a new family home, Mr. and Mrs. W decided to purchase a new build home in City Fields, Wakefield.
City Fields is an expansive 375-hectare residential development situated to the east of Wakefield, nestled alongside the River Calder. With a prime location just a 20-minute walk from Wakefield City Centre, residents can easily access Leeds City Centre within 25 minutes. The development is also well-connected to major transport routes, including the M1 and M62, providing direct links to Sheffield and Huddersfield. In total, approximately 2,500 homes will be constructed in City Fields, with plans for improved school facilities, a commercial park, and new district and local centres designed to offer a range of health, retail, and community amenities.
Mr. and Mrs. W, like many new homeowners, desired to personalise their home and embark on a bespoke furniture journey with JAX Bespoke. Confronted with an expanse of plain white walls, their residence offered a blank canvas for them to unleash their creativity and design their ideal living space.
The key to crafting your ideal bespoke furniture lies in identifying your needs first, followed by your desires. Once you have a clear understanding of both, JAX Bespoke will assist you in merging these elements into a design that seamlessly fits your space.
For Mr. and Mrs. W, a busy young family, the necessity was ample storage for toys and games to keep their new home clutter-free. Their vision was to create a calming environment — a place to unwind after a hectic day, while also serving as a family room where accessing toys and games is easy, ensuring fun-filled family time. To achieve this, they wanted a unique, bespoke media wall.
A media wall serves as a dynamic centre-piece in a living space, designed to enhance both functionality and aesthetics by integrating technology with stylish design. Its primary purpose is to provide a dedicated area for housing entertainment equipment, such as televisions, sound systems, and gaming consoles, while offering storage solutions for accessories like DVDs, games, and remote controls. Beyond mere storage, a well-designed media wall can elevate the room's decor by acting as a striking visual element, showcasing a cohesive colour scheme and materials that reflect the homeowner’s style. Whether used for movie nights, gaming sessions, or family gatherings, a media wall effectively enhances the overall experience of the space, making it both practical and inviting.
With an entire wall at their disposal, JAX Bespoke set out to design a media wall that would optimise the available space. Given that the room already showcased crisp white walls and grey carpets, the couple sought a striking bold colour to make their media wall the focal point of the space.
They ultimately chose a midnight blue hue to achieve the desired visual impact. To maintain a sleek and uncluttered appearance, it was decided that push-to-open cupboards would be incorporated along the bottom of the media wall, ensuring a handle-free design that enhances the overall aesthetic.
After reviewing the visual concepts presented by JAX Bespoke, the couple entered a crucial stage in the design process where they could make adjustments and refinements. This phase allows for any necessary tweaks to ensure the bespoke furniture design aligns perfectly with their vision; every project crafted by JAX Bespoke is fully customisable, giving clients the freedom to choose their desired elements. Once the final design was approved, the manufacturing process began, bringing their dream creation to life.
Manufacturing takes place in the workshop located in Thornes, Wakefield, ensuring that any dust and debris generated during the process remains away from your home. JAX Bespoke prioritises providing a stress-free experience for all their customers. Once the manufacturing stage is complete, the focus shifts to installation.
Typically, bespoke media wall installations are completed within a week, and for this particular project, the JAX Bespoke team efficiently worked over the course of two days. From the moment they entered the property, which started as an empty shell, to when they departed, the transformation was remarkable. The room evolved into a functional living space, perfectly designed for entertaining and serving as a sanctuary for relaxation for the entire family.
Mrs W - “From the very first meeting when Jack came to provide a quote for our media wall, we were genuinely impressed by his professionalism. He took the time to understand our needs and crafted a design that included all our desired features. Jack went above and beyond by presenting us with 3D visuals, which allowed us to see exactly what the finished product would look like. Throughout the process, he consulted with us on every detail, including color selections and lighting arrangements, ensuring we were completely satisfied. When it came time for installation, the team was not only friendly but incredibly efficient; they completed the media wall in just a day and a half! We are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. Given the exceptional quality of their craftsmanship, we've already booked JAX Bespoke for our next project.”
