Those little touches
It's those little touches that really make a property stand out when you're selling. In this property we styled, we put this cute little tea set on the kitchen bench.

Organise Your Space
Forget the peak hour commute and arrive fresh in less than ten seconds. Create the ultimate lifestyle and work from a home office. An organised workspace with a place for everything and everything in its place.
The key is built in cabinetry with storage and desk space. The “before” photo above shows a home office from which a family printing business is run. Lacking in storage and bench space with outdated decor, the space was dark and cluttered.
We've created a flexible, streamlined workspace, by combining built in deskspace with open and closed cabinetry for easy access and storage. The desk has mobile pedestal drawer units underneath for the flexibility to accommodate more than one person if needed.
It’s essential for each home office to be tailored to the individual needs of the client and the space available. “there’s no standard plan for a home office, it’s imperative to find out needs such as what type of work will be done in the space, what storage is required and how many people will work in the office. This home office renovation works perfectly for this printing business, but would be impractical for an architect, who would need much more benchspace.
Running a business from a home office can be the ultimate lifestyle if the space is organised correctly.

Study Nook
We're creating lots of study nooks these days. I think with laptops being more common than desktops, there's not as much need for large studies or offices and little nooks like these ones can be easily slotted into hallways or near the living space.
The need for storage though doesn't change so we always include cabinetry and powerpoints.

Window Dressing
Luxurious heavy draped curtains or light timber venetions, window dressing adds that finishing touch to a room. Functionality for privacy and light control, window treatments also add style and atmosphere to the room.
It’s important to start with functionality when choosing a window treatment for a room. Always consider first what you will need the window treatments to do. Bathrooms and bedrooms will require privacy, so narrow choices down to those that will screen out the neighbours. After that, the fun is choosing fabrics and materials to add your personal style to the room.
The interior of this little girl’s bedroom was custom designed by us. The gorgeous shoe print curtains set the overall theme for the room, with matching wallpaper and lamp completing the look.
With today’s modern materials, there’s an endless range of window treatments available and an interior designer can advise you on the latest products available, as well as help you create an overall theme for your room and home.

Tribal Rhythm
We're creating a "Tribal Rhythm" theme in this home, so lots of earthenware pots and earthy, savannah colours.

Space Transformation
In the kitchen, it’s the best use of space that will make a fabulous kitchen renovation, not necessarily more space.
in this kitchen renovation, the focus was on creating more useable and accessible storage space, rather than simply creating more space.
The original kitchen, while larger in space, lacked enough storage in the corner pantry and cupboards while appliances sat on the benchtops creating clutter.
We reconfigured the pantry and fridge area to create a practical butler's pantry. Split into a storage area and preparation area, there’s enough room to store dry goods and appliances where they’re easily accessible, yet away from sight to keep the kitchen tidy.
The outdated decor of the cupboards were replaced with simple, clean lines while a built in appliances tower houses a coffee machine, steam oven and microwave, creating a sleek and streamlined appearance.
A kitchen renovation is much more than just changing benchtops and splashbacks. The redesign needs to take into account the family’s needs and any issues with the current kitchen.
