    JUNE FAVS from Mel 💗 Find out what our residen JUNE FAVS from Mel 💗

Find out what our resident interior stylist is loving this month.

Woollen blanket - As the temperature is cooling, I’ve been layering around the house - blankets and throws on bedding and in the lounge. I love this 100% NZ wool blanket from @cultiver_goods, soft, neutral and billowy.

Burlwood finishes - The grain, texture and warmth in these @racheldonath_ bedside tables are the perfect addition to any bedroom. Plus storage!

Oil burner - Oil burners are great for creating ambiance in a space, and this one is gorgeous from @oliverthomstore. Whenever styling, remember to focus on all senses including smell.

Vases - You can never have enough! Styled with native foliage these would create a dramatic feature on any island benchtop. @ivylaneagency.

Mosaic table - Still reminiscing from last years Morocco trip, this table is from the newest collection of my favourite designer, @lrnce. If I could my whole house would be LRNCE.

    A picture can say a thousand words! Colour, fun a A picture can say a thousand words!

Colour, fun and clever use of floating cabinets (I’m very proud of these cabinets!) create space, interest and a child’s dream bathroom.

What do you think about the transformation?

🔎 Brushed brass tapware for a bit of bling

🔎 Smart niches and shelving to store those bathroom essentials

🔎 Concealed storage solutions to hide less aesthetic pieces

🔎 Warm mood lighting and rich colour palette to add character

Not only does the client love this space, but so do we. It was a delight being able to step away from the comforts of neutrals and whites and create an uplifting and playful bathroom for this family!

    🫧 Kids bathroom reveal 🫧 Continuing the the 🫧 Kids bathroom reveal 🫧

Continuing the theme of playfulness, we took liberty and had a lot of fun with the kids bathroom. Terrazzo flooring, pink tiling, brass fixtures, curved finishes and plenty of storage to hide away the mess.

A shoutout to @livingtiles for the tiles for helping us bring joy, colour and fun into this space and @rjmcalistertiling for laying the 3mm thick tiles with mitred edges!

    Quiet luxury in the kitchen ✨ Gaggenau and Sub- Quiet luxury in the kitchen ✨

Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances were a no-brainer for us in this kitchen — it’s about reliable performance, thoughtful design, and appliances that support the way our client lives. 

We opted for a Gaggenau cooktop and table ventilation system which seamlessly disappears when not in use. It allowed us to keep the space open and clutter-free and preserve the sight lines from the kitchen to the backyard, which was a high priority here. 

Plus, we included Gaggenau ovens, a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, and a Fisher & Paykel drinks drawer to make everyday cooking feel effortless.

How much thought do you put into picking — and placing — your kitchen appliances? Let us help you with your kitchen design!

    Same room, different feeling 💙 . We changed a Same room, different feeling 💙
.

We changed a few things in the kitchen for practicality, light and storage.

1 - Shifting location of the cooktop, ovens and sink to to create separate, more functionable working zones

2 - Removing the existing chimney which limited the space and layout in the kitchen

3 - Adding useable storage underneath the stairs

4 - Utilising clever drawer systems for convenient storage solutions.

5 - New lighting plan to make it an inviting space regardless of the time of day.

    Big kitchen reveal alert! ✨ So excited to finall Big kitchen reveal alert! ✨ So excited to finally share our Summer Hill kitchen transformation.

Energetic, striking and bold - this project was all about creating a vibrant and welcoming space for our amazing clients. They wanted a kitchen that wasn’t just practical, but a real heart of the home where family could connect and memories could be made.

We achieved this by focusing on flow and top-notch functionality with high-end Gaggenau appliances, making sure every centimetre is put to good use. 

Colour played a key role in injecting personality, alongside carefully chosen fixtures and fittings that perfectly frame the homeowner’s incredible artwork (“It’s a Vibe” by @natasha.townsend ).

Sustainability and longevity were also top priorities, which is why we selected durable materials like the Laminam benchtop. And to bathe the space in light, we created a thoughtful, multi-layered lighting plan.

What do you think of this colourful kitchen? We’d love to hear your thoughts! 👇

We kept the layout so decided to match the window shape and size with these three mirror cabinets. They add heaps of storage and the taps fit nicely between them.

    We didn’t even change the layout! Admittedly, a We didn’t even change the layout!

Admittedly, a *lot* of work went into this bathroom, in design and in implementation phase. Most of it you can’t see afterwards because it is now hidden within the floor, walls or ceiling.

What you can see is the same layout but a completely different bathroom now! One with more character, comfort and luxury.

    Bathroom Room Reveal 🌟 A classic white bathroo Bathroom Room Reveal 🌟

A classic white bathroom wasn’t a choice for our client. When designing this bathroom, our brief was to create a practical and playful space focusing in sustainability and liveability. Key to this, our client wanted to be surprised.

We chose deep tones to add depth, brass tapware for bling, and blue terrazzo flooring to add character and flare.

Would you take a risk and get a bit creative?

    Brushed Brass | Trend or Timeless? 💛 Brushed Brushed Brass | Trend or Timeless? 💛

Brushed brass is here to stay in our opinion  It effortlessly adds luxury, elegance and sophistication whether you’re wanting a contemporary aesthetic or those vintage vibes. We also love that its beauty develops overtime, with a natural patina that gives a sense of history and character to your interiors.

We’ve used brushed brass in a number of projects recently, especially in bathrooms. Would you choose brushed brass for your bathroom? Let us know in the comments below ⬇️
