Building your dream home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make - and it deserves more than just a few clicks online. After all, you wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it first or choose a wedding dress without trying it on.
That’s why visiting a Metricon display home is such an important step. It’s your chance to see, feel, and experience the quality and craftsmanship that make us Australia’s leading home builder. Virtual tours and videos are great, but nothing compares to stepping inside a home and imagining how it could fit your lifestyle.
So, why should you make the time to visit a display home? Here’s what makes it worth the trip.
1. Experience the flow
Online floorplans give you the basics - but walking through a display home brings the layout to life. You’ll get a genuine feel for how the spaces connect, how the light moves through each room, and which configurations work best for you.
It’s also a great chance to ask questions and discover ideas you may not have considered. Our friendly team members are on hand to share insights and help you explore your options.
2. Feel the finishes
Design is more than what you see - it’s what you feel. When you visit a display home, you can run your hand along a stone benchtop, test the warmth of the timber flooring, and feel the textures that bring each space to life.
These small, tactile moments help you picture how your future home will truly feel - something you simply can’t experience through a screen.
3. Find your style inspiration
Each Metricon display home is styled by our expert interior designers to showcase the latest looks, features, and materials. As you explore, you’ll discover clever design ideas, colour palettes, and décor combinations that could spark inspiration for your own home.
Whether it’s a statement pendant light, a clever use of storage, or a dreamy bathroom finish - you’ll walk away with plenty of fresh ideas to make your home uniquely yours.
4. See how it measures up
Bringing your own furniture measurements is a smart move. Seeing how your current pieces fit into the new spaces helps you plan what stays, what goes, and what new additions might complete the look.
It’s also a chance to visualise how your lifestyle fits within the home - whether that’s creating a play zone for the kids, a quiet reading nook, or an entertainer’s kitchen that really works for you.
5. Explore upgrades and extras
Our display homes also feature a range of design options and upgrades to help you see what’s possible. From a stylish butler’s pantry or mudroom, to designer tapware and finishes, you’ll be able to explore the features that could elevate your home even further.
Seeing these details in person makes it easier to decide where you want to invest a little extra to create your dream space.
6. Bring the whole family
Building a new home is a shared journey - so bring everyone along! Visiting together helps each family member imagine their life in the space, from kids picking their dream rooms to partners visualising weekend breakfasts in the kitchen.
There’s a special moment when you step into a home and just know - this is the one.
