Texture: A Designer’s Secret Weapon
What makes a beautiful home beautiful? Of course, you need stylish furniture, alluring colours and the right lighting. But there’s a secret ingredient all great designers rely on to take a home to the next level.
The Style Inspiration Project
When building your home, you’re looking for a unique solution that suits your lifestyle, so naturally the materials you decide to use are an important and enduring choice.
The Ultimate Home
A home is more than just a collection of rooms, it’s about how it makes you feel and how it enhances your lifestyle. Starting from the very first moment you walk through the door.
What is Form?
Alongside textures, materials and colours, architectural form plays a pivotal role in establishing the character of a building. Clever use of all of these elements, inside and out, creates a harmonious connection between the various spaces we live, work and play in.
Shape Your Space with Colour
Speak to any design professional and they’ll stress the importance of colour in the home, throwing around words like hue, saturation and tonal value.
The Role of Trend Forecasters
Building a home can be a daunting experience. Which materials, colours, textures and patterns should you use? The options available are seemingly endless, and it can be overwhelming.
Choosing Materials to Build With
Many new home builders ask this question in the hopes of receiving a simple answer in response. However, in reality, it is not as easy as a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Naturally Heating Your Home
It’s all too familiar that when winter comes, which seems to be getting colder every year, we instinctively reach for the heater to keep warm. With this attempt to artificially heat our homes, our energy bills sky rocket, which is now made worse with the rising cost of energy.
Benefits of Clay Pavers
Anyone who’s built a new home will know what it’s like to breathe a huge sigh of relief and flick the ‘Off’ switch. No more tradies, no more deliveries, no more decisions, no more discussions about colour matching that seem to go round and round in circles – and (hopefully) no more bills.
