Home kitchen bathroom commercial design
8 tile treatments to turn your head
Dramatic, durable, luxe, even light-bringing – tiles are a great way to transform your bathroom or boost a theme – these examples will inspire
Contemporary function, classic look
This up-to-the-minute kitchen includes classic design nods such as crisp panelled cabinet doors and traditional mouldings on the rangehood
Show kitchen? No, that's the scullery
Sculleries don't come much more blinged up and storage rich than this – brass cabinetry keylines and handles are matched with a splashback mosaic called Oro (that's gold in Italian)
Go on, run outside
This home exhibits great indoor-outdoor flow – and that includes the feature timber ceiling that continues seamlessly outdoors as generous soffits
Soft touch
For this bathroom, mirror backlighting provides quality task lighting and includes dimmers, for a soft relaxing feel and double use as a night light
Well dressed
A gilded mirror above the custom lacquered, dresser-look vanity adds another touch of refinement to this upmarket bathroom
One toe in the ocean
Simple, clever design gave this house a spacious feel on the inside – part of this is the giant sliders that open up to the sprawling deck and scenery beyond
I'd love a pool but don't have the right space
Pool design has come a long way in recent years – and build versatility is a key part of that. Is your site, small, tricky, unusable? Cascade Pools has a solution
Intoxicating presence
Just grabbing a bottle from this wine cellar would likely intoxicate the senses – note: when the lines all look parallel you know you've had enough
Of course madam, which al fresco party was that?
This award-winning home has not one but two outdoor entertaining spaces. The lower alfresco dining area is underlit to dramatic effect.
Vision and reality
The ornate fireplaces in this renovated home looks great while its fuss, mess and labour is circumvented thanks to underfloor hydronic heating
Maximising space and storage
An introduced dividing wall brings opportunity to give this marble-look bathroom open shelf storage, while a large wall mirror doubles the sense of space
