With homes ranging from cosy 2-bedroom properties to spacious 5-bedroom family houses, your finishing approach should match your space and lifestyle needs. The solar panels mean you'll want energy-efficient lighting throughout to maximise your green credentials. For larger Caledonian Collection homes, consider statement flooring like engineered oak in main living areas, while smaller properties benefit from light, consistent flooring to enhance space. The development's elevated position means window treatments are crucial - plantation shutters work beautifully in larger homes, while quality blinds suit all property sizes.
