Understated Elegance
Inspired by hotel interiors, the Decadent Sanctuary design theme will create a sense of luxury and glamour at home. While it is bold and striking in nature, there will be an underlying sense of calm – this comes across in the colour scheme. The palette is strong and dramatic with bold black and white as hero colours – accented with softer shades like tan and grey. While splashes of colour will add visual interest here and there. For example, a deep forest green vase will bring a richness to the kitchen or bathroom. Clean lines and open space are key characteristics of this look. This minimalist style works best with statement furniture pieces. A dark walnut dining table will work effortlessly against the backdrop of charcoal Laminex cabinetry. Layering light sources is also important. When natural light isn’t in abundance, supplement the space with ambient accent and task lighting to set the mood. A mixture of metals in the Decadent Sanctuary is encouraged. From stainless steel and chrome tapware and kitchen accessories to brass and copper accents, go wild and create glamour with glitzy touches.

The kitchen design was the initial focus in the home, where there’s a mixed colour palette of matte black and timber. The matte black is a new product from Laminex® (black absolute matte) that doesn’t mark. The timber look is also by Laminex® in the Natural Walnut colourway. The bench top is Caesarstone® Cosmopolitan white and has a double waterfall edge. The splashback is a 797×797 large format Onyx White GI-Porc Pol 6mm tile from Beaumont Tiles. The splashback tiles were laid to mimic a stone grain and slab.

The external design features vertical cedar timber cladding, a large format masonry brick which has a subtle terrazzo pattern engrained in it and linear stone cladding to the front pillars that are beautiful to touch. They are organic in their pattern and colour variance, and are an unusual feature in the way they are laid in a random vertical pattern.
