How to make a new build less new build’ey

i will preface this with sorry if you have a new build and this offends you.

We are buying a new build - after years of renting (came back to uk just before Covid) and not being able to find anything we like/can afford/near DC’s school/not on a terrible road/a decent size.

I’ll be honest I do quite like interiors and the new build look is not my jive. How do I make it look less new buildey. We’ve always had period/older properties with character both here and abroad.

Paint the skirting the same colour as the walls. Doors and architrave a neutral colour, takes away the miles of white gloss.
Faux wood panelling.
