The biggest transformation in this home came down to one key decision: moving the kitchen from the back of the house to the front.

Originally, the kitchen felt disconnected from both the living spaces and the incredible outlook. By relocating it, the kitchen now sits at the heart of the home, connecting naturally with the surrounding spaces while making the most of the view.

It was a major layout change, but one that completely transformed how the home feels to live in 🀍

Designing a bathroom involves countless decisions, and thoughtful planning makes all the difference. The choices made early on can have a significant impact on how the space looks, feels and functions for years to come.

After designing many bathrooms for our clients, we’re sharing some of the expert tips and details we consistently prioritise to create spaces that feel calm, functional and beautifully resolved.

Joinery is a powerful way to create connection throughout a home. One of the most common mistakes we see is treating each room in isolation. Instead, we consider how joinery elements such as cabinetry, bench seats and work-from-home nooks can work together to create a seamless flow from one space to the next.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Our Bundanoon Project is a perfect example. The material palette established in the kitchen continues throughout the home, extending to the study nook, window seat, mudroom and laundry. The result is a home that feels cohesive, connected and calm 🀎

The difference between a home that looks good and one that feels right often comes down to this: selecting your finishes as a whole, not one at a time.

In our latest Mosman project, we considered the kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry and living spaces as one connected experience, rather than approaching each space individually.

You’ll notice the kitchen island cabinetry colour and stone carry through into the living room, while the same tile continues onto the fireplace, helping everything feel cohesive and resolved without feeling repetitive or β€œmatchy-matchy”.

It’s the layering of materials and tones across spaces that creates that sense of calm and connection throughout the home 🀍

Good storage should be tailored to the rituals and realities of each household. At our Woolstonecraft Project that meant integrated and streamlined storage at the entry.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
For our busy clients with three young children, the front door is where the clutter built up fastest with school bags, shoes and sports equipment. So a built in bench seat packed with storage and gorgeous timber wall hooks were a perfect way to organise the space and make it feel purposeful.

Using colour in a bathroom can feel like a risk, but when it’s done well, it can completely change how the space feels.

In this bathroom, we leaned into a blue palette to bring depth and personality, while still keeping the overall feeling calm and refined πŸ’™

The detailing throughout the space was intentionally kept quite minimal, allowing the colour and materiality to really speak for themselves. Hands up if you love it as much as we doπŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€
