Why New Home Builders Are the Winners of the 2026 Federal Budget

Autumn is the richest season. The falling leaves produce an unending palette of colours that continuously change. We experience a balance between both hot and cold weather, and the natural light is playful, but not overbearing. Australia's best photographers look forward to autumn for good reasons. You can take advantage of the colour rich  surrounds of autumn, and incorporate the natural, leafy inspirations into the interior design of your home. Here are the latest trends to get you started:

When you build with McDonald Jones, you have access to the inspiring MyChoice Design Studio, a space that offers a modern and interactive experience to complete selections and create the home of their dreams.

You spend a lot of time in your living room, so it not only needs to look great, but it also needs to be practical, comfortable and perfectly suited for your lifestyle. For many, the living room is the heart of the home and mastering the design of this important space is something that our designers have spent countless hours pondering, ultimately creating stylish living spaces across the full range of modern house design styles. Let’s take a look at some of our favourites and find a design you’ll want to recreate in your new home.

Here at McDonald Jones Homes, we know home design. When it comes to your new home, whether you’re looking for a single storey home design or a double storey home design, urban home design is becoming a very popular trend for home buyers in NSW. Modern home design incorporates space, minimalism, architecture and raw, natural materials. When it comes to choosing a home design that is right for you and your family, we are the experts in NSW to help you out. 

We are thrilled to share with you one of our newest award-winning homes, the Havana Encore 14, on display at Forster Grange on the mid-north coast, which was recently crowned Display Home Winner at the 2021 Master Builders NSW Hunter Excellence Awards. There is so much to love about this inspiring Urban styled home, let’s take a closer look and find out why the MBA judges crowned the Havana Encore 14 king of its category! 

When choosing a home’s style, interiors and architecture, first home buyers, first home builders, experienced home owners and investors will come to realise which styles they prefer.  When it comes to taste in New South Wales homes, McDonald Jones are the experts in all things classic traditional and modern. In terms of aesthetics, a house has to feel like a home and that is why we are dedicated to finding you and your family the right style to suit your preferences and lifestyle.

If you aspire to create a home of supreme comfort and relaxation, you can't go past the style of a coastal home.Coastal style is one of the most popular interior design styles of the past 5 years. This style evokes feelings of long summer holidays and calming ocean breezes, signifying our love for the beauty we see in our natural coastal environments - no matter where you live.

As more and more of us begin to work remotely, as well as students undertaking more at home learning than ever before, it’s become more important to have a dedicated Study or Home Office space in your home. A designated Study space will help the students and workers focus on the tasks at hand, and allow you to mentally separate the work zone from the rest of the house. This will help to eliminate distractions, reduce the appeal to find other tasks, diminish your procrastination time and overall avoiding the in-depth tasks or study you really need to complete.

We are thrilled to welcome you to the Centre of Style in the Hunter, at the brand new MyChoice Design Studio at Thornton. The new state-of-the-art MyChoice Design Studio officially opens in Thornton on December 4, providing customers of McDonald Jones the opportunity to enjoy an unparalleled experience in home styling and design selections.
