Behind the central wall in the home is the private zone of the condo. A queen-sized bed is lofted over a built-in desk, bookshelves, laundry, and closet. Plumbing pipe ladders on either side of the bed make for easy ascent and descent from the loft, as well as additional storage for decorative bedding. Photography by Cynthia Lynn Photography

The laundry room was placed between the front of the house (kitchen/dining/formal living) and the back game/informal family room. Guests frequently walked by this normally private area. Laundry room now has tall cleaning storage and custom cabinet to hide the washer/dryer when not in use. A new sink and faucet create a functional cleaning and serving space and a hidden waste bin sits on the right.

Randy Angell, Designer The beautiful estate already had a well-designed backyard by a prominent landscape architect. This included the upper spa area, which we had built for the previous owner. The challenge presented by the new homeowner was to create a seamless design that integrated the new with the existing, remained true to the original architects vision, and created a space to be enjoyed by the family's children, as well as the many business and charity event guests that would be frequenting the home.

Grays add a softness to the design, whether as a primary color, shown in the kitchen here, or as a secondary color, often on an island. Gray is the perfect fit for the growing trend of Transitional design. The washed look and character of Peppercorn cherry paired with our Boardwalk door style creates a naturally calm and simple space. Designing with consistent horizontal sight lines, linear crown and a blended color palette are a few of the key elements to create a Transitional haven. Pairing gray toned finishes, such as stain and paint, allows you to showcase multiple textures and values for creating depth through a layered approach.

Plumbing issues rarely occur at a convenient  moment. When selecting whom to install plumbing in Melbourne homes, one must find someone who is licensed, readily available and has the right to tell you the costs upfront before work is commenced. This guide includes what to look at prior to hiring a plumber melbourne and common hiring mistakes to avoid.
Explaining how to choose the right plumber Melbourne homeowners
Why choosing the right plumber matters
Poor plumbing repair may be more expensive to repair than the original problem. Experience, licensing, and communication are also all issues that impact on a job being done right the first time round. A few minutes checking credentials will save later on down the line. Difficult hiring choices may result in:
●    Repeat callouts: Incomplete repairs, which fail once again in the matter of weeks, necessitate a visit by another tradesperson, and additional expense. ●    Hidden charges: Unclear price estimates that become unexpected bills after the project has begun. ●                Property damage: Rushing or unlicensed work that causes damage to pipes, fittings and adjacent walls and floors.
Check licensing and qualifications first
All plumbers operating in Victoria have to have the valid licence issued by the Building and Plumbing Commission. Licensing validates the formal training as well as legal responsibility of the work done. This is checked within a few minutes prior to securing any job. Pre-hiring ensure the following before the hiring:
●    Licence number: A registered plumber is able to issue a licence number which is confirmed by the appropriate authority. ●    Insurance coverage: Public liability insurance insures the property in the case of damage at the time of plumbing work. ●    Trade specialization: Gas fitting and hot water work need to be covered by certain qualifications other than, in general, a plumbing licence. ●                Membership bodies: The association with established industry organizations is usually an indication of continued training and accountability benchmarks.
Ask about availability and response time
Plumbing emergencies do not follow business hours. An explosion of a pipe or gas break should be addressed immediately, irrespective of the days or the time of the day. Skill is no more crucial than availability in the matter of picking a plumber. Some useful questions to ask before making a reservation are:
●    Emergency availability: Checking that the callouts are not provided on weekends, evenings or during public holidays with long delays. ●    Response time: Inquiring about the speed at which a plumber can commonly arrive to address an emergency in the house under contact. ●    Call-out fee: An explanation of whether or not a call-out fee is charged and whether or not the fee is waived when the work is carried out. ●                Service area: In this case, it will be necessary to check whether the plumber visits the given suburb of Melbourne on a regular basis.
Understand pricing before work begins
The most frustrating aspect among the plumbing customers is unclear pricing. An honest plumber discusses prices and alternatives with him/her prior to commencing any job. Written quotes insure the homeowner and the tradesperson. Fair pricing practices normally involve:
●    Fixed quotes: An open quote properly quoted and then inspected, not an hourly estimate. ●    Written breakdowns: Detailed expenses showing labour, materials as well as any other expenses prior to beginning of work. ●    No pressure tactics: Time to study the options without requesting a decision to be made immediately on-site. ●                Transparent extras: All other costs including after-hours costs would be explicitly known prior to the job.
Common errors one should not make when employing a plumber
Hasty judgments made in the plumbing crisis tended to come back to bite. The failure to do basic checks may lead to low-quality workmanship or high prices. Most frequent hiring issues are avoided with a brief wait before making a booking. Frequent mistakes include:
●    Skipping licence checks: Recruiting solely on price without first ensuring they are properly licensed and insured. ●    Accepting verbal quotes only: Accepting oral estimates rather than writing down, making itemised price explanations. ●    Ignoring reviews: Finding a plumber without examining customer feedback in the past few reviews on different independent review sites. ●                Overlooking guarantees: Not enquiring of work done, whether it comes with any part or labour warranty.
