The setting
This renovation project blends the serenity of a tropical oasis with the warmth of a relaxed country home.
Designed with the owner’s love for all things country in mind, the space is anchored by a neutral base palette, highlighted with pops of colour and pattern to add personality and depth.
The collaboration between the designer, builder, and owner created a seamless flow throughout the home, ensuring comfort and functionality without sacrificing style.
The kitchen
The kitchen is both practical and beautiful, featuring a concealed double door that opens to make the scullery more accessible, while the induction cooktop with a built-in downdraft eliminates the need for a bulky overhead rangehood.
Every piece of lighting and furniture was chosen to complement the muted tones – enhancing the relaxed, country vibe with added texture and detail.
This space is an ideal reflection of a dream home, where every detail is crafted to create harmony and ease.
