Interiors by Lux Interiors

From the interior designers:

This family home renovation featuring a harmonious blend of design and functionality, crafted to reflect the lifestyle and living habits of our homeowners. 

The interior and exterior design fulfils the requirements of the brief by ensuring that functionality and aesthetics combine effortlessly to create a comfortable, stylish bespoke home.

Open and inviting spaces 

The open layout of the front living area of the home fosters a sense of togetherness. 

The kitchen, dining area, living room and alfresco seamlessly flow into one another, creating an ideal space for family gatherings and casual conversations. 

This open design encourages interaction, allowing family members to share their daily experiences while cooking, dining, or relaxing. 

The double volume space has been amplified by the installation of an oversized pendant central to the space and the black framed glass partitions. 

These partitions assist in reducing noise transfer to upper living areas while still maintaining an open aspect. 

A full height fine flute-glazed, metal-framed cavity sliding door enables privacy in the living room when required, but its discrete placement ensures flow when not in use.


Gourmet kitchen 

The kitchen is designed to cater to the family's Italian heritage and love for cooking and entertaining. 

It boasts high-end integrated appliances, a spacious island with bar seating, and ample counter space for meal preparation – the perfect spot for preparing family feasts. 

The combination of the fresh blue 2-pac painted cove profile island bench, tranquil green and calm white bespoke cabinetry, and light Calacatta-style engineered stone creates a stunning colour palette that is individualistic and sophisticated. 

The black feature surface mount lights and brushed Roma bronze tapware add a touch of luxury and elegance to the space, while the deep brass-look anodised aluminium trim feature on the island bench creates another focal point.

The hidden butler’s pantry keeps the open-plan dining and kitchen area clear of clutter while remaining functional. 

It features custom cabinetry that matches the main kitchen, providing additional storage and workspace while maintaining the same refined design.

All of these features work together to create a kitchen that is not only beautiful but also highly functional. 

The attention to detail and craftsmanship make this kitchen a stand-out space.

Customised workspaces

Recognising the importance of remote work and study, we've incorporated customised workspaces throughout the home. 

These areas feature ergonomic fitted furniture, storage solutions, and a calm atmosphere, ensuring that family members can work or study effectively without compromising on comfort.

Individual design

The bedrooms are personalised to reflect each family member’s unique personality and interests, fostering a sense of individuality.

Spa-like retreat

The bathrooms in this home are designed to be upmarket sanctuaries. 

The custom-made curved timber veneer vanities with a chifley profile, create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both modern and timeless. 

The natural wood texture is complemented by the large format porcelain tiling that extends from the floor to ceiling, providing a dramatic backdrop for the vanities.

Roma Bronze Tapware adds a touch of glamour and sophistication to the spaces, while feature wall lights create a balanced ambiance. 

The double basins are practical and functional, allowing for ease of use and adding an extra layer of convenience to the space. 

A freestanding bath in the master ensuite, with a niche above, is a statement piece that provides a sense of luxury and indulgence. 

The design of these spaces are both aesthetically pleasing and functional, with every feature carefully selected to create cohesive and visually striking spaces.

Exterior and outdoors

The façade and side fencing, clad in composite timber, add texture to the overall look of the house. 

The teak front batten fencing and gate has been treated and will silver over time while the bright Casper White walls create a contemporary, clean aesthetic. 

The rear pool area has the look and feel of a Mediterranean oasis with clean, simple lines, bright white marble pavers and lush planter gardens inviting relaxation and fun. 

The sparkling visual of the pool from both levels through enlarged windows enhances the feeling of openness and connectivity between the interior and exterior.

The home reflects the owners, who they are, and how they choose to live. 

The play of colour, texture light and shape within their home is beautifully balanced and brings warmth and vitality to a space they can now truly call their home.
