Classic, timeless and sophisticated is the three words we would use to describe this beautiful #flatlay design. π
The simplistic design brings a feeling of instant calm to a kitchen or bathroom design with its classic palette of fresh whites and soft greys. Contrasted with gunmetal tapware and cabinetry handles, the pop of darker tones adds another level of elegance to this gorgeous style. β¨π
If you love that classic Hamptons design or that simplistic modern look, this is the flatlay for you! π‘π€©

Sunlight is one of the healthiest and most efficient ways of illuminating your home! π
From enhancing your home's overall aesthetics to saving on energy costs, when designing the lighting plan for your new build, prioritising natural light should be at the top of your list. π·π‘
We absolutely love the abundance of natural light that pours in through the combination of large bi-fold doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and electrical louvres in this beautiful home! Perfectly illuminating the open plan living, the additional light helps make the space feel larger and more spacious whilst also providing uninterrupted views of the stunning landscape surrounding this beautiful property in the Adelaide Hills. ππ

Keep Your Bathroom Clutter-Free!
Adding a niche to your shower is a must! I mean who wouldn't prefer to just reach for the shampoo than have to bend down for it? π
Shower niches, commonly known as shower storage, are practical, versatile and stylish storage solutions for your bathroom items. As a functional and aesthetically pleasing inclusion, they are the perfect way to add interest to the design of your shower, bathtub or vanity. ππ€©
We absolutely love the clean and minimal niche our customers chose to add to their ensuite shower! Not only does it provide a seamless storage option to their new bathroom, but its shape and size also match the above skylight perfectly, providing a cohesive look from the floor to the ceiling. π

No matter how small your space may be, you can still create a stylish space with just a few clever inclusion and strategic placements of your furniture and dΓ©cor. Here are our top tips for making the most of your small spaces. ππ
β¨ Focus on lighting by combining natural light, a striking ceiling fixture and table lamps for a cozy and bright atmosphere.
β¨ Keep the room cohesive by sticking to the same colour palette throughout.

β¨ Use mirrors and reflective materials to bounce the natural light around the room, to give it that illusion of added space.
β¨ Choose pieces of furniture that allow you to get creative with your storage options.

When thinking about the look and feel of your home, it is important to consider how your everyday functional elements (aka your hardware) will significantly impact the overall aesthetic of your home. π€π
We absolutely LOVE the cabinetry handles our customers chose to bring their modern Hampton home to life! Their choice of brushed brass hardware in the kitchen elevates the aesthetic of their home and adds a striking design feature against a neutral palette; while in the bathroom the brushed brass adds warmth to a cooled-toned palette. π€©π

There is a proven correlation between our well-being and the spaces that we live in.. and interior design elements can help encourage feelings like relaxation!
Three of the key elements to look for in creating a calm space are colour, form and lighting, as mood is created by the overall composition of the space. If calm and relaxing is the vibe your looking for in your own bedroom design, then here are our top tips for designing a space that is not only comfortable and stylish but a space that promotes rest and relaxation. ππ΄
β¨ Incorporate a mix of natural lighting and artificial lighting to ensure your space is receiving plenty of light both during the day as well as at night.
β¨ Opt for a calm and muted colour palette - think light blues, soft greens and whites.
β¨Choose a flooring that feels comfortable. As a space that does not receive a lot of foot traffic, choose a luxurious carpet that makes your bedroom feel warm and cozy. π

A large alfresco is an entertainer's dream, especially one that flows perfectly from the open-plan living and kitchen areas through to the outdoors.
Rain, hail or shine, when designing an alfresco area that can be utilised all year round, a few outdoor living must-haves we like to include are:
β¨ Incorporating an outdoor kitchen
β¨ Including a servery window
β¨ Blending the indoor and outdoor living for added space
β¨ Adding shelter and shade
β¨ Including lighting for a space to enjoy at night
β¨ Bringing cosiness to your alfresco through furniture and styling.

There are many benefits that come with incorporating raked and high ceilings to your design. Not only do they portray a sense of space and light, they are also an eye-catching feature. π€©π
But did you know that there is a correlation between ceiling height and how people think and act? π€
High ceilings have been shown to stimulate the brain, giving a sense of freedom and encourage creative thinking! βΊοΈπ
If increasing your ceiling height isn't in your home budget, we encourage adding plenty of windows and using a light colour scheme for the walls and ceiling.

We absolutely love using wall panelling to create a subtle and timeless feature in any room. π€©
Whether panelled across the entire wall or combining half-height with a traditional styled trim, introducing clean and vertical lines is a great way to add subtle detailing to your home's interior design.
Either paint it in a bold colour to add some contrast or keep it the same as the rest of the room for an understated point of interest. ππ
