All inclusions within our homes have been hand-selected by our interior design team to carry the high-quality standard and design aesthetic expected at Thomas Archer. Externally, materials and finishes are chosen for their beauty and long-term practicality whilst our array of internal selections provide a more opulent level of style that we personalise to our clients' taste. Find out more about a few of our standard features below.

Take a Look at Our Designer Inclusions:

Rendered Aerated Concrete Panelling

Beautiful and practical, the aerated concrete panelling used externally throughout the ground floor of our homes combines both function and form whist delivering supreme thermal and acoustic benefits. The modern aesthetic is enhanced as we apply three alternative render colours to your home as standard. This creates depth, interest and stand out for the right reasons.

Colorbond Roofing

The streamlined, modern appeal of Colorbond roofing completes the look of our Expressions Series designs. With sleek lines and a contemporary range of colours to choose from, Colorbond adds a modern aesthetic that complements each home.

Stone Benchtops

One of the most appealing features a home can have is stone benchtops. From the tactile feel to where and how it is placed stone benchtops are the finishing touch to your kitchen and bathrooms that will leave a lasting impression.

Aluminium Windows

All Thomas Archer homes are thoughtfully designed to welcome an abundance of natural light, creating a strong sense of connection to the outdoors. High-performance aluminium windows are carefully integrated to support thermal efficiency, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. Combined with smart design and quality materials, these features contribute to a 7-star energy rating, delivering a light-filled home that’s both energy-efficient and cost-effective to run.

Premium Appliances

Fisher & Paykel appliances come standard in our Expression Series homes, with Miele appliances specified for our Landmark Custom range. Both brands are selected for their exceptional quality, advanced innovation and sophisticated design.

Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles bring the advantage of beauty and durability. They are hard wearing with high endurance, scratch resistant and less water absorbent, making them a dream for wet areas. With an endless array of options to choose from, you will be able to enjoy the benefit of these for years to come.

Inspired Spaces, Intuitive Art: A Conversation with Tegan Lloyd

At Thomas Archer, we’ve always held a deep appreciation for Australian art and the incredible creatives behind it. So, it’s especially meaningful when those passions align with the people we design and build for. Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with contemporary artist and Thomas Archer client, Tegan Lloyd. Tegan’s work is a thoughtful interplay of colour, texture and emotion. Inspired by the Australian landscape and the quiet beauty in everyday moments, her expressive pieces reflect a fluid, intuitive process. We loved working with Tegan on her home and equally loved hearing more about the creative journey that shapes her work. Q: Tell us about your creative process? Tegan: ‘I like to ease into the process with music on and a nice glass of tea, allowing the space to feel relaxed and calm. I usually begin by intuitively painting the background, exploring and playing with colour and texture and then come back in with more intentional marks as the work begins to take shape. One of the things I love about having a home studio is being able to bring pieces into different spaces around the house. Seeing them in different light helps me understand what areas might need more work before they feel finished.’ Q: What inspires your art? Tegan: ‘I’m really inspired by colour found in nature, especially the Victorian coastline and the hilly landscapes where I grew up. I also find inspiration in the beauty of everyday things around me such as fashion and nature. My home studio has become a huge source of inspiration too. It’s light-filled and spacious, which allows me to create larger works. Our home incorporates lots of natural materials and that sense of warmth and texture definitely feeds into my art.” Q: You create such beautiful abstract pieces, what draws you to create this style of artwork? Tegan: ‘For me, painting is like therapy. With a busy family life, being able to step into my studio and paint takes me into another world. It’s calming and meditative.' Q: What do you hope people feel when they experience your paintings in their own spaces? Tegan: "I hope my work brings a sense of calm and tranquility. That’s what it brings to me and I hope others can feel that same energy in their own homes.” Q: What is your advice for people when selecting artwork for their home? Tegan: “It’s so important to choose something you truly love and connect with. Think about the space it will live in and the kind of energy or feeling you want to bring to that room. For example, in a bedroom you might want something calming, while in an entertaining space, something more playful or bold might be perfect. Art can also tell a story or become a beautiful conversation starter, it should be something that feels meaningful to you.” View our interview with Tegan here For more about Tegan's artwork visit: https://teganlloyd.com

Trending Window Furnishing Styles for 2025 with Lynch’s Window Fashions

When thoughtfully chosen, window treatments do more than complete a room, they elevate it. From enhancing natural light to adding privacy and thermal efficiency, the right solution blends functionality and aesthetics. That’s why we partner with Lynch’s Window Fashions, whose commitment to quality and considered design mirrors our own. Integrated seamlessly throughout the build process, their bespoke window treatments ensure every detail is resolved to perfection before you move in. Lynch’s Window Fashions shares the top window furnishing trends set to enhance both indoor and outdoor living spaces in 2025. 1. Sheer Elegance Sheer window treatments remain one of the most popular choices for creating an elegant, airy feel in the home. They offer a delicate balance of privacy and light filtration, making them ideal for living rooms, dining areas and bedrooms. Soft sheers create a relaxed, ethereal look and are perfect for those who love natural light but still need a level of privacy. 2. Natural and Textured Fabrics For 2025, window furnishings are defined by the luxurious textures of natural fabrics. Linen offers the perfect balance of timeless beauty and warmth with its soft, breathable texture. The demand for textured fabrics is growing, as rich weaves and tactile finishes add depth and character to window treatments. These natural materials bring a sense of organic elegance to any space, creating a serene, inviting atmosphere. Whether it's the lightness of linen or the rustic appeal of other textured fabrics, these window treatments elevate the look of a room while remaining versatile and functional. 3. Minimalist Recess Curtain Tracks Recessed curtain tracks are becoming increasingly popular for their sleek, minimalistic design. When concealed within the ceiling, they offer a clean, unobtrusive look that adds sophistication to any space. These tracks help create a seamless, modern aesthetic and allow curtains to flow effortlessly from above, making them perfect for contemporary interiors. Choosing the right window treatments is about more than just picking something that looks good, it’s about creating a space that enhances your lifestyle. Working with experts like Lynch’s Window Fashions ensures you get tailored solutions that suit your space and your needs.

What's Next in Interiors? Insights from the HIA National Conference

At this year’s HIA National Conference, our very own Interior Design Manager, Natasha Allan was invited to join a thought-provoking discussion hosted by Jen Bishop, founder of Interiors Addict - Australia’s largest interior design and renovation blog, Natasha shared her thoughts on the trends shaping our homes now and into the future. From evolving material palettes to a renewed focus on craftsmanship and personalisation, here’s what’s next in interiors through Natasha’s expert lens. 1. A Warmer Take on Colour Gone are the days of stark, clinical whites. According to Natasha, we’re seeing a steady shift towards warmer, moodier tones, think smoky whites and soft neutrals that bring a sense of comfort and calm to a space. These shades work beautifully as a base, softening finishes and allowing natural textures to shine. For those still craving colour, there are plenty of opportunities to introduce bolder hues through feature walls, styling and artwork offering personality without overwhelming the overall palette. 2. Kitchens Evolving with Purpose Kitchens are becoming more sculptural and textural, spaces that feel crafted rather than purely functional. Natasha’s seeing a rise in natural materials like timber cabinetry and bold stone, often paired with simple, handle less profiles that let the craftsmanship speak for itself. Key design details emerging include: Sculptural feature islands Stone “shelfies” above splashbacks—adding both function and design focus Rangehoods as hero elements—clad in stone or tiles to create impact Mixed metals in tapware for added depth and interest With the shift away from breakfast bars and uniform surfaces, we’re seeing layered materials and subtle colour variations introduced to create visual warmth and individuality. As Natasha explains, “Factoring in your space, size and budget is always key but with the right design guidance, you can create a space that looks incredible and works for how you live.” 3. Stone That Makes a Statement The changes brought about by the engineered stone ban have ushered in a new wave of material innovation. Porcelain has emerged as a standout alternative, offering the aesthetic of natural stone with added durability, especially for busy families and keen entertainers. Jen and Natasha agreed that homeowners are becoming more confident with bold stone selections, opting for “punchier” surfaces that make a visual statement. And with thoughtful placement, even a smaller application like a feature splashback capped with a stone shelf can add serious impact without stretching the budget. 4. Bathrooms with Personality Bathroom and powder room design is embracing more personality and atmosphere, moving away from purely functional spaces to more hotel-inspired sanctuaries. Think: Feature lighting and sculptural vanities Statement wallpaper and tactile wall tiles Bold metallic tapware in bronze and brushed nickel A return to separate hot and cold taps for a more considered and tactile aesthetic Interestingly, Natasha notes a shift in spatial planning some are choosing fewer ensuites to allow for larger master suites or better flow throughout the home. 5. Doors and Walls as Design Features In line with the broader trend towards craftsmanship, we’re seeing more emphasis on textured surfaces and tactile materials. Products like Surround by Laminex are gaining traction for their visual depth and organic feel, while internal feature doors and front entries are becoming more refined often clad to blend seamlessly with the facade, allowing the hardware to become the hero. We were honoured to have our very own Natasha Allan selected to contribute to such an engaging and insightful discussion, an opportunity that further cements Thomas Archer as a leader and credible authority in our field. Natasha’s insights at the HIA National Conference only reinforce what we strive to achieve every day: purposeful, personal spaces that reflect the way our clients truly live.
