25.01.2022 If youre looking to design a modern farmhouse kitchen, youll need a few basic ingredients: Modern features, rustic elements, and industrial-inspired accents. When you blend these together in the right amounts, youll end up with a kitchen thats warm, inviting, and yet perfectly suitable and functional for modern living. For this project in Padstow, we added plenty of fresh colours and combined with pops of stylised hardware. What do you think? ... See full project here - https://buff.ly/3acJt5B

25.01.2022 A huge Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing Mums out there. Thank you for everything you do. All of the love, care and dedication. We hope you have a day filled with love, appreciation and breakfast in bed!... @balneiandcolina #MothersDay #MothersDay2020

24.01.2022 Looking for that dream entertainers kitchen? Our tips are to ensure you have plenty of seating. This custom-designed island bench in our Randwick project allowed under bench seating to provide a place for casual dining and gave a more open space layout. Dual entry and exit points created the optimum flow of traffic, and the new casual dining area provided extra counter space for food preparation as well as a place for gathering and casual dining. ...

24.01.2022 Tossing up installing induction in your kitchen? Were big induction fans, and it isnt just because of the clean lines and easy to wipe surface. Induction cooktops are also far more efficient, faster and more precise. In addition, the cooktop surface stays cool, so you dont have to worry about burning your hand. Its even possible to put a paper towel between a spattering frying pan and an induction burner, though youd want to keep an eye on that. Remember, the cooktop ...doesnt get hot, but the pan does. This induction top in our Woolloomooloo renovation was also the better option due to the limited existing bench space. Whats your opinion on induction? Take a look at our Woolloomooloo project here - https://buff.ly/2XnEeKv

23.01.2022 Throw us a <3 if youre drooling over the wardrobe in our Drummoyne project! The Drummoyne clients existing kitchen was small, dated, had limited storage and was separated from the main living area by three walls. The apartment floor plan although large was narrow in shape - the challenge was to create a larger kitchen without impeding on the floor space of the adjacent living and dining rooms. ... We needed to balance out the living areas and still deliver a larger kitchen with enough functionality to work in comfortably and create greater storage our clients needed. How did we do? See the full project here - https://buff.ly/3cqY79C

23.01.2022 Just because a space is small, doesn't mean it can't be mighty. There are lots of tips to make small feel big. In this kitchen we; - We used integrated appliances e.g. dishwasher and fridge to allow the small area to flow with no interruptions. In doing this it seemed as though we doubled the size of the kitchen space.... - We opted for simple white matt cabinetry to minimise reflection and add openness to the small space. The simple glass taupe splashback further adds to the minimalist design approach. - We ensured the internal design of all of the cabinets make the best use of the space and prioritised easy access.

23.01.2022 How is everyone going with this new reality? Weve been doing plenty of Skype calls with clients, and quite honestly, were busier than ever. BUT it is strange being home a lot of the time, and were really missing going out for dinner! ... What are you missing?

22.01.2022 Love making people this happy!

21.01.2022 The best thing about laundries? You can have a little fun! Laundries are often hidden away, so why not opt for those green cabinets youve always drooled over. Play around with textures and colours without a worry for what the guests might think! We had fun with hardware and colours in our Penshurst laundry and it quickly became the owners favourite room in the house! ... View the project here - https://buff.ly/37mnaYI

21.01.2022 Injecting some personality and freshness into your home office can be hard and often it can feel like a clinical space, but plants are an easy way to spice things up. Surrounding ourselves with nature is said to have stress-relieving benefits and heighten productivity plus they look beautiful too! Mix up different shapes and sizes and blend both real and faux plants to achieve a diverse interior jungle minus the maintenance!

20.01.2022 It's a case of now you see me, now you don't! As a utility room, the laundry is often overlooked when it comes to design, but with some clever thinking and smart space utilisation, your laundry can put the fun back in functional. Whether its in the kitchen, the bathroom or in any number of other spaces, you can have a fully functional laundry in your home without it needing to be on display.... In our Lilyfield project, we added all-white push-to-open cabinetry to ensure the small space was lightened and felt open. See full project here - https://buff.ly/2ZVdIuM

18.01.2022 When mixing traditional and modern styles, it is all in the details! Our Gladesville project is the perfect example. From our tile choices to our lighting, the space is simple, clean and respectful of the homes heritage. Do you love the showerhead? ... See the more from the project here - https://buff.ly/38GTiaa

17.01.2022 Anyone else excited?

16.01.2022 A little (very) obsessed with the marble backsplash in our Padstow Project. Want out tips for choosing the perfect backsplash? 1) Determine your budget... You can’t really go into this thinking it’s only going to be about $100, but you can determine how much you want to spend. This will help you focus your efforts as you look at the different backsplash options in stores. 2) Look on Houzz This is basically the best website ever when it comes to inspiration for renovations especially if you have no idea what you want. 3) Consider Other Elements Look around your kitchen and see what’s already in there. If you are planning on totally gutting everything, then this might not matter as much. But if you are only doing the backsplash, you want to make sure it looks great with your appliances, paint, cabinets, etc. 4) Go in store While you can absolutely buy your tile online (especially if you can find a good price), I highly recommend actually going in-store. 5) Get Samples Something may look great in the store, but you really need to see what it looks like under the lighting in your kitchen, how it pairs with your appliances, etc. It really does look different in the store! 6) Shop for the best price Once you know what you want, make sure you shop around for the best prices. Many places charge a lot for tiles that can easily be found elsewhere. See the Padstow project here - https://buff.ly/3acJt5B

14.01.2022 A huge Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing Mums out there. Thank you for everything you do. All of the love, care and dedication. We hope you have a day filled with love, appreciation and breakfast in bed!... @balneiandcolina #MothersDay #MothersDay2020

14.01.2022 Absolutely obsessed with this pendant and kitchen in the home of Aimee Mazzenga. Whether you need to illuminate a specific task or update your decor, the right light makes all the difference in a room. A pendant does it all, providing overall light, which is used for all-purpose illumination; task lighting, which focuses light on a specific work area; and accent lighting, which highlights specific areas. To avoid circles of super-bright light, consider a pendant with a ligh...t diffuser, or use semi-opaque bulbs. A pendant with a dimmer switch is the perfect mood-setter. #BCKitchen #BalneiandColina #KitchenInspo

13.01.2022 Having trouble combining the old and the new? In our Penshurst project, the client wanted to make sure the kitchen renovation complemented their period home. The brief included a Hamptons look, modern functionality and open plan living. Our tips? ... - If youre looking for a Hamptons feel, try whites and blues, in muted tones. - Add shaker style doors and timber accents. - To combine the old and new, throw in hints of older shapes such as the traditional style range hood. Love this look? Check out more piccys here - https://buff.ly/37mnaYI

13.01.2022 With a lot of us working from home at the moment, I wanted to take the time to talk through setting up the ideal workspace at home. Do you have another tip to add to the list? - Research and Consider Ergonomics. ... - Choose a Dedicated Area. - Consider the Light and View. - Use a Dedicated Phone for Your Home Business, or Stick to Zoom/Google Hangouts. - Have a Place for Gadgets. - Separate the Professional From the Personal. - Have a Way to Keep Time.

12.01.2022 Game time! When isolation is a thing of the past - Whats your ideal first venue, date and menu item? We are all spending a lot of time in the kitchen at the moment if only all of them were as beautiful as this one from our Camperdown project! ... This particular client wanted to renovate his newly acquired apartment with the kitchen being the key focus. The existing single-line all-white kitchen was awkward and lacked basic cooking functionality. Bet he is loving his choices during COVID! See more of this project here - https://buff.ly/3eqvKJY

12.01.2022 Have you always dreamed of a walk-in robe like this one from our Lower North Shore project? Your walk-in-robe, let’s call it a boudoir, sounds a lot more romantic, is really a blank canvas ready for you to customize to suit your storage needs. Instead of struggling to find your wow outfit for the day in a dark dungeon with piles of clothes and shoes, be ready to be instantly inspired by easy to find items! Getting your boudoir design right can mean not only making the outfit selection process easier but also motivate you to change your ‘old house’ habits and stop leaving piles of clothes and shoes on the floor.

12.01.2022 What are your thoughts on these snaps from some of our favourite bathroom renovations? As you consider the layout of your bathroom, take advantage of every square inch. Tabulate configurations for plumbing fixtures and cabinets. Be sure the tub you choose is the right size for the space a common mistake. Remember, when planning a space, it’s all about you. (Sounds nice, doesn’t it?) And, in the bathroom, design must result in a space that is safe and will grow with you.... Tip - Whether you’re gutting the space or refreshing it cosmetically, the location of an existing toilet can dictate the design. (You can move it, of course, but it will drive up the price of your renovation project.) Check out more of our projects here - https://buff.ly/35Bfxho

10.01.2022 I think it is time we talked about beds and bed frames. We often see clients eyeing off beds and frames that may not suit their space. For example, if you desire the drama of a more elaborate bed frame, such as a four-poster or canopy bed, aim your tape measure toward the ceiling. ... A tall bed frame requires a high ceiling, as even a large bedroom can start to feel cramped. Do a little extra measuring as well if you prefer a bulky bed frame such as a sleigh bed or a bed frame-headboard combination with bookshelves included. Bear in mind that you might have to disassemble and reassemble larger beds to get them through a bedroom door, and make sure thats possible with your chosen frame. Timber Trails Development Company

10.01.2022 Combining white and deep grey has always been a favourite of ours. Try matching your dark shade with other dark elements in your kitchen. Dark cabinets will look great with light walls and splashbacks, especially if you incorporate dark flooring to really enhance the colours of your kitchen. The lovely part about this Gladesville scheme was that the cabinets really brought our the character in the dark flooring. ... See full project here - https://buff.ly/33HMglX

10.01.2022 Let's talk about tiles! Introducing pattern on the floor adds strong visual interest and makes the floor the hero of the space. Our tip?

04.01.2022 We love collaborating with Interior Designers and on our Camperdown project, we were lucky enough work with John Neill who was commissioned to renovate a newly purchased apartment in Sydneys Inner West. The client wanted to renovate his newly acquired apartment with the kitchen being the key focus. The existing single-line all-white kitchen was awkward and lacked basic cooking functionality. The client wanted a new kitchen space that was going to be both impactful and pract...ical. One of our favourite parts was the custom range hood. What do you think? See the full project here - https://buff.ly/3eqvKJY

04.01.2022 Looking for a way to make you rangehood less rangehood-y? Cooking with gas is a breeze. Finding a snazzy range hood to do so? Not so much. See that silver pendant? Its a rangehood. We know this, because this Lilyfield home was one of our 2019 projects. ... Why Hide It? A concealed or built-in range hood is integrated into the kitchen and out of sight. Hiding a hood, or any appliance for that matter helps focus the attention on the kitchen cabinetry and other design elements, rather than on the appliance itself. Concealed hoods are especially beneficial in a small kitchen, which can get visually cluttered when lots of appliances are out in the open. #BCKitchens #BCLilyfield #BalneiandColina

03.01.2022 Tossing up if tearing down some walls is worth it? Creating an open-plan space can be expensive, but the rewards are endless. Open plan living generally comes with extra natural light flooding into the space and that has a huge effect on the sense of joy you feel when walking into a room. If you entertain or have a family, having a clear vision throughout the space is lifechanging. ...

02.01.2022 A sneaky snap from our Coogee project. We loved brightening this space and there is no picture that could do these barn doors justice! Hidden behind those doors are a pantry and laundry. Once closed, the doors allow the space to be clean and clutter-free. ... How do you feel about barn doors? Yay or nay?
