Removing a wall in a small two-bedroom unit has resulted in a significant transformation. By opening up the space, a seamless connection has been established between the kitchen, dining area, and living room, creating a multi-functional and versatile area. The removal of the wall has eliminated the physical barriers that previously separated these spaces, fostering a sense of openness and facilitating better communication and interaction among family members. The kitchen extension resulting from the removal of the wall has provided several practical benefits. Firstly, it has allowed for the expansion of the bench space, providing more room for meal preparation, cooking, and other kitchen activities. Additionally, the kitchen extension has led to an improvement in storage capacity. This means that kitchen utensils, appliances, and ingredients can be neatly organized and easily accessible, reducing clutter and enhancing efficiency in the kitchen.

Renovating a home to sell can be a smart investment, however it is important to ensure that the finishes will appeal to most people. We went with a contrasting light and dark theme and added texture by introducing grooved panels to the feature walls. The exterior was refreshed by choosing colours that work well with the surroundings. The staircase became a feature on entry and really draws anyone inside. Kitchen and Bathrooms were kept neutral but were opened up to ensure that they feel light and bright and spacious. The carpet is soft and warms up the upstairs lounge and bedrooms as well as the large rumpus or second lounge space on the ground floor.

Sleek lines, neutral colours and timber accents scream modern sophistication. No matter how small your kitchen, a light, bright and stylish kitchen eliminates the cramped feeling that comes with it. Galley kitchens make full use of vertical spaces by using wall cabinets and shelving units to create more storage solutions. The trick to making a small kitchen feel bigger? Playing with light! This kitchen incorporates all sorts of ambient and mood lighting to create a comfortable and relaxing space to cook meals, entertain guests and enjoy dinner. We kept the existing pass through to the dining area and accentuated this by extending the benchtop trough and having a breakfast bar. This really embraces the idea of open plan living., without having a single large space.

By extending the hardwood flooring throughout the entire space, a seamless and cohesive aesthetic is achieved, creating a sense of connection and a clean, unified appearance.

The kitchen and Dining areas are a popular gathering spot in most homes. A lot of entertaining is done in this room as family and friends gather in an area close to where meals and appetizers are being prepared. It also is a place where the family may meet at the end of the day to talk about the day’s events. There is no doubt about the fact that these spaces are where memories are made and shared on a regular basis. The colour of the earth beneath your feet, a cup of coffee in the morning, a dollop of honey on toast and a bar of caramel chocolate. The tiles bring warmth and contentment to the space. MIDDLE EARTH TILES’ GOLDEN MANUKA Tile was laid with 33% offset. The tile was chosen as not only for the wonderful tone in colour, but because Middle Earth tiles are a “Cradle to Grave” product. The raw material are extracted close to the manufacturing site, they will last for many years, even centuries and the designs are timeless. Middle Earth tiles can be returned to the environment with no ill effects at the end of their life cycle. The European Oak Rutherglen Engineered Wood Flooring was chosen because of its subtle blue hue. Continuing the theme of the sea from the carpet. The grain of the wood adds texture and interest and works beautifully with all the other materials in the space. The VERDE GUATAMALA Stone BENCHTOP is simply gorgeous. Its intensity of colour and its grain make for a wonderful feature island benchtop. The clients fell in love with this stone, as for them it evoked Pounamu.

A neutral colour palette was the main aspect of the brief setting the tone for a sophisticated and elegant home. The main tile we chose is called "Paris White". It is a light colour tile with darker flecks and gently undulating vein patterning reminiscent of sandy shorelines. It has a smooth matt surface that feels lovely to the touch and is very easy to clean. We used this tile on both the walls and the floor of this Family bathroom. We combined the tile with feature mosaics and pebbles to add interest and texture. The mosaic has glass pieces which catch the light and reflect it. The pebbles have an impeccably smooth feel and while neutral in tone the variance in stone colours create a dynamic interplay. The brushed gold tapware possesses a gentle hue, and its brushed finish exudes a timeless, classic appeal.

Mosaic features, when used sparingly or as focal points, can become captivating design elements. The intricate patterns and meticulous arrangement of mosaic tiles showcase attention to detail and craftsmanship, elevating the bathroom's overall appearance. Grey surfaces, particularly when combined with glossy finishes, can play with ambient light, enhancing the bathroom's atmosphere. Light reflection and shadow interplay add a layer of complexity that adds to the overall sophisticated feel.

The bathroom was one of the biggest transformations of this renovation. There used to be a nib wall and boxing around the existing toilet. This was completely removed. The layout also changed. Vanity and toilet swapped locations. The toilet is now located by the window, allowing for a larger vanity with Mirror Cabinet. The client opted for feature tiles to the floor and to feature the shower and vanity walls by using gloss black subway tiles in a herringbone setting. We retained the existing batten walls to again give homage to the existing features of the building.

TILE SPACE TAILORART BROWN 600X600 CSA019 TO KITCHENETTE FLOOR & BATHROOM FLOOR was chosen to reflect a textured fabric, like a blanket used on the beach.

The wall between Kitchen and dining Spaces has been removed. There is a beam in place that separates the coffered Dining and Living Room kitchen from the flat GIB Lined ceiling in the lean-to Kitchen and Laundry areas. The existing batten wall in the kitchen was retained and painted in the dark blue to make it a feature. The existing timber shelf above the existing masonry chimney opening was also kept. A LED light strip was added to its underside to provide additional focus to this original feature. To create indoor / outdoor flow large double-glazed Timber French Doors were added. The space feels light and bright and welcoming.

We created an open plan Kitchen / Laundry / Dining / Living Area by removing the wall between Kitchen and Dining as well as removing the chimney separating the Dining and the Living Areas. Where the chimney was removed we spliced in timber flooring to match existing. The entire floor was sanded and sealed. The long wall became a feature wall by introducing a dark blue colour that ties the 3 spaces together.

Working with the original features of a home is important. It is showing respect and appreciation to its history. The lead lights in the entrance door are a wonderful feature that had to be preserved. The hallway used to be dark and just using light grey paint this space feels completely transformed.
