A rounded welcome greets visitors to this light-filled bathroom – both from a halo LED-ringed mirror and an eclipse-look sconce

Here, plants in the planters include purple Aeonium Schwarzkopf and green Ceanothus Diamond eights at rear while to the right is a fan aloe underplanted with black mondo grass

Painted fluted timber climbs the wall in this double-height extension – perhaps inspired by the fluted kitchen island, or vice versa

ALPS white porcelain tiles underpin this pale-toned interior while a wall of wood opens to a wealth of kitchen functionality

Cross ventilation keeps things cool while warm tones and a rock of a coffee table bring a natural vibe to this family room

A bespoke, crenulated double vanity, emerald tiles and brushed brass touches give this coastal master ensuite a refined air

The outer curves of this kitchen island bring a softness to the space, added to by it hovering off the floor on a pedestal

Here casual window seating also provides casual storage beneath – turning a quiet sunny corner into a much frequented reading nook

Cantilevering the vanity also adds to this bathroom's sense of space – quite simply because you can see more floor area

A reeded glass shower screen offers a refined take on showering privacy in this texture-rich, resort-inspired master ensuite

Is there a warmer material than wood? A Haro 4000 rich engineered timber ply floor climbs the wall and runs over the ceiling in this new home 

Here, a dramatic macchiato quartz with polished finish and book match join, designed by SCE Stone, forms a stand out splashback
