Today we’d like to share inspiration for houses 3 and 4 on The Block, which come from the most decorative eras and enjoy, perhaps, the most endearing period styles.
For the flatlay inspired by House 3, a 1930’s Californian Bungalow, we started with for the roof, as a bold beginning for this house style. With this as the start-point, COLORBOND® steel could then be used really effectively to highlight sections of the house. And from there, the use of concrete tiles, terrazzo pavers, timber for the decking and darker brick, like the Austral La Paloma, help give the home a stylish and modern interpretation.
In contrast, House 4, the Federation home has a COLORBOND® steel roof, and this brings a really modern warmth to the façade and lends itself to an elegant and more natural aesthetic approach to the palette as a whole. In the flatlay you can see how this has been used to inspire a combination of materials, textures and colours - with red brick, limestone pavers and Australian Beech timber selected to enhance the warm undertones.
Two very different looks, but both are beautiful examples of how working with textures and palettes can yield an overall aesthetic that is both connected to the original period of the home, but modern and individual at the same time.
