From Dark to Fresh: A Contemporary Family Home Transformation



Gallery

Previously a dark and disconnected house, this home has undergone a remarkable makeover, now shining as a fresh and contemporary haven for a growing family.

The original layout, with its blue tiles, tired timber kitchen, and cream walls obstructing natural light, begged for modernization and revitalization.

The heart of the transformation lies in the kitchen, where a stunning Vivid White design takes center stage. An elegant Essastone in Caolino Matt stone bench top adds a timeless touch. Pocket doors conceal overhead storage and appliances, ensuring a sleek and clutter-free space. White cabinetry, subway splash-back tiles, and stylish matt black handles, lighting, and appliances, including a freestanding Fish and Paykel cooktop and oven, create an enticing monochromatic palette. This modern black-and-white theme beautifully complements the natural timber vinyl plank flooring, which now spans throughout the entire home.

The bathrooms have not been left behind in the makeover. Both the main bathroom and ensuite have been completely renovated, boasting new vanities, tiled flooring, walls, and modern semi-framed shower screens and fixtures, tying them seamlessly to the kitchen’s design.

Clever use of space was essential to accommodate the client’s desire for more room. The builders ingeniously transformed an underused theatre room into a fourth bedroom, while also repurposing previously wasted space into a designated playroom right next to the new bedroom. These additions artfully connect to the updated lounge room, where custom-built joinery neatly stores the television and other items, maximizing space for a comfortable and spacious environment.

The result is a modern, welcoming, and well-lit family home that perfectly meets the clients’ needs. Every aspect of the house now exudes style and functionality, from the sleek kitchen with smart storage solutions to the elegant bathrooms and well-designed bedrooms. This transformation has brought forth a beautiful, contemporary living space where the family can thrive and enjoy life to the fullest.
