Unique in the market, the Herschel Krystal infrared panel heater is revolutionary in design, efficiency, performance and comfort.

Constructed using specialised microcrystal ceramic glass and Herschel’s innovative COSIX© Cell infrared heating technology, Krystal offers a highly attractive, sleek and compact solution that can be neatly recessed into ceilings to ensure a contemporary, seamless finish for any interior.

High Performance

The Krystal high performance panel heater range opens a revolutionary new chapter in infrared panel heaters: compact, high-power panels that save space, warm up very quickly and look amazing indoors.

Control of the Herschel Krystal infrared panel heater is via hard wiring to one of Herschel’s iQ range of thermostats (purchased separately). Due to its fast warm-up times, Krystal also works exceptionally well with Herschel’s PIR sensor, so you can fine-tune your energy use to set infrequently used rooms to a lower temperature and boost the power only when you’re in them.

The Herschel Krystal infrared panel heater

Innovation in Infrared Heating

Constructed using microcrystal ceramic glass that transmits effectively but doesn’t dissipate heat wastefully into the surroundings of the heater itself, the Krystal also incorporates Herschel’s innovative COSIX © Cell infrared heating technology.

The Krystal panel range is available in either 600W or 1000W in a 27 x 57cm unit with a white or black glass surface.

Because of its higher temperature, Krystal is designed for ceiling mounting in rooms and can also be wall mounted in large spaces. For ceiling mounting, you can either install it with the swivel brackets supplied, or optionally you can purchase a ceiling recess kit for a discreet flush-finish or a surface-mount kit with an elegant metal surround.

The high temperature Krystal heater provides fast warm-ups, ideal for comfortably heating both domestic properties or commercial heating applications.

When it comes to home design, flooring is more than a backdrop, it sets the tone for your entire living space. But beyond aesthetics, flooring plays a powerful role in the value of your home, both for your own enjoyment and as a key selling point.

The challenge is finding the balance: how do you choose flooring that is beautiful, practical for day-to-day life, and within your budget, while still maximising the return on your investment?

Balance Budget, Beauty, and Lifestyle

One of the first things buyers or guests notice when stepping inside a home is the flooring. Worn or mismatched floors can be a red flag, signalling future costs. That’s why budgeting correctly is crucial, not just for today’s comfort but for long-term value. The best approach is to weigh features and benefits carefully. Ask yourself how durable the flooring needs to be for your household, whether the style you’re drawn to has timeless appeal or follows a fleeting trend, and if you’re striking the right balance between cost and longevity.

Embelton Flooring

Timber Flooring: Timeless Investment

Engineered timber is the pinnacle of flooring choices. Its elegance and prestige can elevate a home dramatically, making it particularly valuable in higher-end properties. While it does come at a higher cost, timber adds both intrinsic beauty and tangible market value. Research shows homes with engineered hardwood flooring can sell for up to 6% more, making it a strategic choice if your budget allows.

Hybrid Flooring: Style Meets Practicality

For smaller homes, apartments, or investment properties, hybrid flooring is a smart, cost-effective option. It combines the beauty of timber with modern durability, it’s waterproof, scratch-resistant, and ideal for busy households. Hybrid delivers style at a fraction of the price, ensuring your property appeals to buyers while staying budget-friendly.

Style Statements: Herringbone and Wideboards

If you want flooring that feels like a design feature in itself, consider patterns and plank styles. Herringbone, with its striking zig-zag layout, adds sophistication, while wideboards highlight the timber’s natural character, creating an expansive, luxurious look. Embelton’s hybrid range now offers these options, blending beauty with resilience.

Practical Steps for Smarter Choices

Budgeting for flooring isn’t just about crunching numbers, it’s about making informed decisions. Ordering samples and comparing colours in your own home can make a big difference. Creating flat lays with flooring samples, paint swatches, and fabrics helps visualise how everything works together. A visit to the showroom allows you to experience the textures firsthand, while Embelton Flooring’s online visualiser tool lets you see how your chosen floor will look in your space before committing.

Protect and Preserve

Whichever flooring you choose, protecting your investment is key. Sunlight, furniture, and foot traffic all impact longevity. Using blinds, rugs, and furniture pads can help maintain that fresh, new-floor look, small touches that safeguard your budget and preserve your home’s value.

Final Word

Budgeting for flooring isn’t just about minimising costs, it’s about maximising value. Whether you invest in engineered timber for its prestige or hybrid flooring for its affordability and strength, the right choice will add long-lasting appeal to your home. With a thoughtful balance between budget, beauty, and practicality, quality flooring is more than a design decision, it’s an investment in your home’s future.

Shutters Made Simple: The Express Way to Style and Comfort https://www.completehome.com.au/interiors/shutters-made-simple-the-express-way-to-style-and-comfort.html Thu, 02 Oct 2025 02:30:41 +0000 https://www.completehome.com.au/?p=87177 When it comes to updating our homes, timing often matters just as much as style.

When it comes to updating our homes, timing often matters just as much as style. Maybe it’s a living room that’s crying out for a refresh before the holidays, a guest bedroom that needs a lift before family arrives, or a study you’ve decided to finally turn into a sanctuary of calm.

The dream is to transform your space with ease, without the endless waiting or the daunting installation that can come with some home projects.

That’s exactly where plantation shutters step in, and more specifically, where the Express Shutter range from Tuiss Blinds Online changes the game. These shutters offer all the elegance and practicality we’ve come to love in plantation shutters, but with one important twist; they’re designed for faster dispatch and easier DIY installation than ever before.

Express Lily White Kit Fixed Shutter 1
Tuiss – Express Lily White Kit Fixed Shutter

The Enduring Appeal of Shutters

Plantation shutters have always carried a certain timeless charm. Their clean lines, adjustable louvres, and ability to suit a range of interiors make them one of the most versatile window furnishings you can choose. They provide control over light and privacy, add insulation, and bring a sense of balance to a room that’s hard to match with any other window treatment.

Traditionally, shutters have been considered a more premium, sometimes slow-to-arrive choice. But with Tuiss’s Express collection, that wait has been cut dramatically. Instead of weeks or months, Express shutters are dispatched quickly, often between 7-10 working days, so your home can be transformed in a fraction of the time.

Why Express? The DIY Factor

If you’ve ever thought shutters were out of reach because of the installation, Express shutters are here to prove otherwise. Every style in the range has been designed to be as DIY-friendly as possible. You don’t need to be a tradesperson, and you certainly don’t need to worry about having any prior experience with shutters.

Tuiss - Express Easi-Fit Shutter - Bathroom_Straight
Tuiss – Express Easi-Fit Shutter

With all except the ‘kit’ styles, the Tuiss shutter panels arrive fully assembled so instead of tackling a fiddly project, you’re simply putting together a polished finish with clever systems that make sense. It’s window dressing made simple, empowering you to take full control of your space without the need to call in help.

A Style for Every DIYer

What makes the Express collection particularly exciting is the variety of styles. While all come in a crisp, versatile white (the perfect neutral to work across interiors), the different designs mean you can choose a shutter that matches both your space and your confidence level.

  • Full Frame Plantation Shutters
    For those who love the traditional look, full frame shutters are a timeless choice. Panels can be opened like doors, giving you flexibility and the elegance of a framed finish.
  • Easi-Fit Shutters
    Frameless and wonderfully streamlined, Easi-Fit shutters live up to their name. They use slimline pivot hinges and magnetic plates, making them an ideal pick for anyone who wants their shutters up in record time.
  • Fixed Shutters
    Sometimes simplicity is everything. Fixed shutters don’t open on hinges, but instead slot neatly into top and bottom channels, which are adhered in place with strong adhesive tape. It’s as close to instant style as you can get, and technically a no-drill solution.
  • Kit Shutters
    The Kit Shutters are available in the Fixed and Easi-Fit styles, and come conveniently flat-packed for those who don’t mind a little bit more assembly work in order to save some money. The most affordable in the range, the panels do need to be completely assembled on these ones.

Across all these options, the hallmark feature remains the same: adjustable louvres that give you control over light and privacy, without compromising on the elegant aesthetic shutters are known for. These styles are crafted from advanced polymer, ensuring that they are engineered to withstand warping, cracking and fading. They are premium quality at an irresistible price.

White Done Right

Some might think that limiting the Express range to white could narrow its appeal, but in reality, it’s a masterstroke of versatility. White shutters are endlessly adaptable. They brighten a room, add contrast against coloured walls, and create a crisp, fresh frame for your windows.

In coastal interiors, they echo the easy-breezy vibe of sun-bleached timbers and sandy palettes. In modern homes, they sharpen up clean architectural lines. And in more traditional spaces, they bring a classic elegance that never feels dated. White is, in many ways, the most timeless choice of all.

Speed Meets Style

Beyond ease of installation, the other major advantage of Express shutters is timing. They’re dispatched faster than other shutter ranges, which means you don’t have to wait long to see your transformation come to life.

That speed makes them perfect for:

  • Seasonal refreshes – get your home holiday-ready in time for entertaining.
  • Special events – create the perfect backdrop for hosting without a long lead time.
  • Quick wins – if you’ve been putting off a bigger project, Express shutters offer an achievable way to make a dramatic impact without delay.

More Than Just Looks

While Express shutters shine in their ease and speed, they don’t compromise on the everyday functionality that makes shutters such a worthwhile investment. Movable louvres mean you can adjust natural light with a flick of the wrist. Close them completely for darkness and privacy, angle them for filtered daylight, or open them wide to let sunshine pour in.

They also act as an extra layer of insulation, helping to regulate temperature in both summer and winter – a quiet energy-saving benefit that homeowners often only appreciate once they’ve lived with shutters for a while.

DIY Satisfaction, Guaranteed

There’s something especially rewarding about completing a home project yourself. With Express shutters, that sense of accomplishment comes quickly, without the frustration that can sometimes come with flatpack furniture or complex instructions. Tuiss provides step-by-step guidance with every order, and because the panels come pre-assembled, you’ll be enjoying your handiwork sooner than you thought possible.

And if you are looking for different colours and styles, the shutter range from Tuiss also offers Solid Timber Plantation Shutters in a range of painted colours and wood tones, and even a full framed no-drill Click2Fit Shutter.

It’s proof that high-end style doesn’t need to feel intimidating or require a professional to get it right.

A Smart Investment

Plantation shutters are more than a passing trend. Their history stretches back centuries, and yet they remain one of the most in-demand window furnishings today. By choosing Express shutters, you’re investing not only in timeless style, but also in a smarter way to upgrade your home.

They add instant curb appeal, create a finished look indoors, and can even enhance property value thanks to their durability and classic aesthetic. Combine that with the lower cost of DIY installation, and you’ve got a home improvement that works hard in every sense.

Fast to arrive, simple to install, and endlessly stylish, Express shutters prove that great design doesn’t need to come with long waits or daunting DIY.

In the heart of Strathfield, NSW, this stunning home built by Michaelangelo Designer Homes redefines the balance of classic elegance and modern luxury. Designed in a Modern French Provincial style, the home features timeless detailing, soft tones, and exquisite joinery—all beautifully enhanced by the inclusion of the Lopi ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2 Gas Fireplace.

Purchased through Home Heat & BBQ Penrith, the fireplace installation was the perfect solution to bridge two central living zones: the formal lounge and the adjoining dining and kitchen area. By placing the unit at the heart of the home, it creates a natural focal point that unifies both spaces with warmth and visual impact.

Lopi ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2

The choice of a double-sided fireplace was proposed by the project’s interior designer, and the decision proved to be inspired. The see-thru design not only offers a practical heating solution but also creates a sense of connection between rooms, adding depth and flow to the overall floor plan. From a cosy evening in the lounge to elegant entertaining in the dining space, the Lopi ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2 ensures a consistent and inviting atmosphere throughout.

For the builder, the decision to work with Lopi was simple. “Having relied on Lopi fireplaces across multiple projects for many years, the proven combination of quality, performance, and design flexibility made the 36CF See-Thru GS2 the obvious choice”. Beyond its striking appearance, the ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2 is designed with functionality in mind. The GreenSmart 2 system allows effortless control over flame height, fan speed, and accent lighting, ensuring year-round comfort at the push of a button. Its efficient heating output is perfectly suited to the scale of this elegant home, providing both ambience and reliable warmth.

Visually, the installation is elevated by the finely crafted fireplace surround, with layered detailing that complements the French Provincial aesthetic. Framed by black steel and paired with sophisticated cabinetry and glass-panelled doors, the fireplace sits harmoniously within the design—anchoring the home’s style with understated grandeur.

This project beautifully demonstrates how a well-chosen fireplace can become more than just a functional feature. The Lopi ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2 enhances both the practicality and the timeless appeal of this French Provincial home, delivering a statement piece that connects spaces and enriches the way the family lives and entertains.

The Lopi ProBuilder 36CF See-Thru GS2 is available in either Natural Gas or LPG (Bottled Gas) configurations, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an efficient, traditional gas fireplace equipped with advanced technologies.

The post The Timber Flooring Choice: Australian Species or European Oak? appeared first on Completehome.

]]>
Trends in interiors rise and fade, but timber flooring continues to hold its place as one of the most enduring choices for Australian homes.

Its appeal lies not only in the warmth and beauty it brings to a room, but also in the way it adapts to every lifestyle, from relaxed family living to more formal, design-driven spaces. Choosing the right floor isn’t about one species being “better” than another, it’s about finding the timber that speaks to the way you live and the atmosphere you want to create.

The Character of Australian timber

Australian species bring an unmistakable sense of place. Engineered boards with a native veneer capture the knots, colour shifts and texture that make our timbers so distinctive, while the engineered construction ensures stability and durability.

At the heart of Embelton’s range are two timeless favourites: Blackbutt and Spotted Gum. Blackbutt is known for its pale to golden-brown tones and straight, consistent grain, creating a clean yet warm backdrop. Spotted Gum, on the other hand, is more dramatic, moving between light browns, deep reds and even hints of grey-green, giving each floor a truly individual character. With finish options in gloss or matte, there’s flexibility to lean towards contemporary restraint or something more rustic and organic.

Embelton Flooring

For those who prefer subtlety, Tasmanian Oak (often called Victorian Ash in Victoria) offers a softer look. Its gentle spectrum of straw, light brown and delicate pink hues make it an ideal choice for open plan living, providing a seamless canvas that allows furniture and décor to shine.

If warmth is what you’re after, Tallowwood’s golden honey tones and olive undertones add richness without overwhelming a room. And for households that demand toughness, Grey Ironbark stands out. Renowned as one of the hardest Australian species, its dense structure and deep palette, ranging from pale brown to chocolate, make it perfectly suited to high-traffic areas where resilience is essential.

 

The Versatility of European Oak

European Oak tells a different story, one of refinement, versatility and design possibilities. Embelton’s Oak collection spans luxurious wideboards, herringbone and rustic planks, each finished in a matte brushed texture with a micro-bevel edge that creates crisp, architectural lines. The colour palette is just as versatile, stretching from Scandinavian-inspired blondes to rich, moody browns, easily shifting between coastal, country, or refined contemporary styles.

Another defining feature of Oak is its grading. Embelton’s ABCD grade ranges balances cleaner boards with those that showcase more natural features, achieving a character rich finish. For homeowners who want to celebrate the full personality of timber, Rustic Oak includes additional feature heavy E graded boards.

Parquetry, particularly in a herringbone pattern, remains the showpiece of European Oak. With its geometric rhythm and ability to catch light, herringbone instantly elevates a space, adding movement and sophistication. It’s particularly effective in hallways and entrances where it creates a sense of arrival, but it also works beautifully in dining rooms or studies to define a change in mood. And for those wanting a local touch, Embelton even offers a Blackbutt herringbone, blending Australian warmth with classic European style.

Pairing traditional planks with herringbone is an increasingly popular design move. Long, straight boards provide calm continuity in open spaces, while patterned sections inject drama and formality, effectively zoning areas without the need for walls.

Finding your perfect floor

So, which is better, European Oak or Australian species? The answer depends entirely on your vision for your home. If you want the unmistakable feel of native timbers, from the subtle warmth of Tasmanian Oak to the rugged strength of Grey Ironbark, Australian species are a natural choice. If you’re drawn to flexibility, refined colour palettes and the artistry of parquetry, European Oak may be the right fit. Either way, Embelton’s engineered collections make it possible to enjoy the authentic beauty of timber while ensuring practicality for everyday living.

In the world of modern living, where space is often at a premium, smart storage solutions have become essential for maintaining both order and elegance in the home. Peka, a leader in precision-engineered storage systems, offers a refined collection of wardrobe accessories designed not just to organise, but to elevate the entire wardrobe experience. Each product combines Swiss-quality craftsmanship with sleek design, ensuring durability, practicality, and timeless appeal.

Peka Accessories

Among its standout innovations, the Lina trouser rack is a perfect example of space-saving functionality. With its smooth, pull-out mechanism, this accessory keeps trousers neatly aligned, wrinkle-free, and instantly accessible. Instead of piling clothes or struggling to locate a specific pair, the rack allows garments to glide effortlessly into view. This thoughtful design not only saves time in daily routines but also preserves the condition of fabrics—making it a favourite among those who value both convenience and care.

Equally effective in bringing order to wardrobe interiors is the hook rail. Minimalist in appearance yet highly versatile, it provides the ideal spot to store scarves, belts, handbags, or ties. Compact spaces in particular benefit from this accessory, as it maximises vertical storage without adding bulk. With items displayed neatly, accessories become easier to coordinate, reducing clutter and enhancing the overall visual harmony of the wardrobe.

For homeowners seeking multifunctional solutions, Peka’s Pesolo pull-out tray with integrated hooks delivers remarkable versatility. The tray is ideal for organising smaller essentials such as watches, wallets, or jewellery, keeping them within easy reach but discreetly tucked away. Beneath the tray, the cleverly positioned hooks add a second layer of storage, perfect for hanging items that are used frequently. This dual-purpose design highlights Peka’s commitment to blending innovation with everyday practicality.

Adding to the range of intelligent solutions, Peka also offers the Stepolo 1-Step and 2-Step stepladders—ingenious helpers for reaching high shelves and maximising wardrobe space. Sleek, lightweight, and easy to store, these stepladders provide stable, secure support without compromising on style. Whether retrieving seasonal clothing from a top shelf or accessing storage boxes, Stepolo ladders combine safety with elegance. When folded, they are slim enough to be tucked neatly inside a wardrobe or utility cupboard, making them an indispensable accessory for modern homes.

To complete the wardrobe system, the Peka shoe rack offers a smart, accessible way to keep footwear neatly arranged. Its pull-out design ensures every pair is visible and within reach, helping to maintain order while protecting shoes from scuffs or damage. Both practical and stylish, it turns footwear storage into a seamless extension of the wardrobe.

What truly distinguishes Peka accessories is their ability to transform a wardrobe into a personalised, serene space. Rather than being simple storage add-ons, they act as enhancers—bringing order, accessibility, and a touch of luxury to daily routines. For design-conscious homeowners, they represent not only functional solutions but also a long-term investment in maintaining a clutter-free and aesthetically pleasing home environment.

Peka Accessories
With Peka, wardrobes evolve beyond storage into carefully curated spaces where function meets sophistication. Each accessory reflects an attention to detail that makes organisation effortless and elevates the entire experience of dressing and living well.
