If you’re looking for inspiration in shades of white done well, this 190sqm four-bedroom property is it. A colour consultant had input into this project, and it shows, especially when you step through the front door and into the crisp, light interior. The customised fit-out and decor superbly demonstrate white-on-light style, with warming wood tones in the floor, furniture and bathroom vanities. It also shows that pale can be very interesting indeed. In the streamlined kitchen, for instance, texture and design details can be seen in the splashback, with its herringbone tiles and display shelving. The walk-in pantry is a huge bonus. Textural tiling is repeated in the bathrooms, including the main-bedroom ensuite. In fact, you’ll find tasteful contrasts everywhere. Perhaps the most impressive feature of this single-level family home is the way the two living areas open directly onto a large deck. It’s as if the outdoor entertaining area is part of the house. The exterior is crisp bevel-back weatherboard and brick trimmed with golden shiplap timber, all accented with a dark roof, fascia and garage door.
