Our clients brought this home for it’s incredible views and beach side location with a vision to modernise the home for a new era.  The first area for attention was the kitchen, where the style, design and colour palette would be continued throughout the home.

One of the fun perks of my job is being invited to trade shows to view & experience the latest from suppliers.  Urbis Design Day Pro was a fantastic day full of inspiration as suppliers showcased their furniture & showrooms.  The perfect way to get the inside edge on new suppliers & the very latest offerings!
