With various house types available at Newby Park, consider your specific layout when planning finishes. Larger family homes benefit from durable flooring options like luxury vinyl or engineered wood in high-traffic areas, while smaller properties can maximise space with light colours and clever storage solutions. Most new Persimmon homes come with neutral décor, so adding personality through feature walls or quality window treatments makes a significant impact. Don't overlook practical additions like fitted wardrobes in bedrooms to maximise storage.
