Editor’s note

W

orking at My Renovation has given me the chance to learn from, and be inspired by, great experts in home design.

I enjoy taking in their knowledge, being encouraged by their passion, and passing that on to our readers.

Last month we were lucky enough to secure the expertise of one of Australia’s best interior designers – Darren Palmer.

And this edition we continue down this path by welcoming the talented and award-winning Adrian Ramsay as a guest editor.

The Sunshine Coast interior designer walks us through one of his projects, a modern and funky bathroom. He offers plenty of advice to DIY-ers who are taking on their own bathroom space.

I’m sure you will enjoy his story on page four.

Also this month, we take a look at one of our favourite trends coming out of Scandinavia. Hygge is sweeping the globe and we show you how easy it is to adapt the lifestyle and design to your own home.

Enjoy, and happy renovating!

COVER STORY //

BATHROOM INSPIRATION Award-winning Sunshine Coast designer Adrian Ramsay says starting with a small space may seem limiting, but there is still plenty of opportunity with design flair and environment.

“What was a cramped, dreary and mouldy walk-in robe/bathroom becomes a stylish bold and sexy ensuite,’’ he tells My Renovation.

Adrian shows us how to create an amazing bathroom in a small space.

Visit ardesignhouse.com for more.

PROJECT: Treetop bathroom WITH GUEST EDITOR ADRIAN RAMSAY Additional ‘psychological space’ is created in this small bathroom renovation by bringing the outdoors in with a bold approach to nature and the built environment.

THE VANITY A recycled vanity brings a grounding energy and feeling of timelessness. Already being loved and used brings a sense of stability and usefulness to the space. The two basins and matching mirrors allows for two individuals to share the environment with a sense of ownership.

STYLE

notes

• The style of mirror links to the tiles and the feel of history and exotic culture.

• The pared-back black taps and round basins are not trying to compete with other features and tie the bathroom in to the light industrial feel of the greater home.

• The smaller louvre window is close to the garden giving a more inclusive feel to the environment.

THE SHOWER A doorless shower allows for better airflow and maintenance. Using the floor grate avoids complication to the cuts in the tile and achieves great water outflow.

DRESS IT UP • Greenery connects to the outdoors bringing it in.

• Gold adds a luxurious feel along with the mirrors and complements the timber vanity.

DON’T MOVE...

THE HERO The room’s hero is this bath and window combination.

By maximising the size of the windows facing the treetops it expands the outlook and sense of space beyond the room.

Surrounding this window with dark (on-trend concrete look) walls means your eye is drawn to the light, bringing the outdoors in while retaining privacy.

The louvre allows air and sounds from outside in, accentuating the sense of being in an outside space. Functionality allows the room to breathe and flow.

The angel wing shaped light shade mimics a bird’s flight or angels wing, once again connecting you to the outdoors and a sense of freedom, peacefulness and things that are good and safe.

BE BOLD: With the bath taking up maximum space, it is both romantic and brave through its exposure.

Soft closing drawer system

TILING The white Moroccan lantern style tile connects you with a sense of heritage, values and mystery with its deviation from our culture. While being aesthetically pleasing it also takes you on an adventure especially as it has been used on mass.

tip

When used on mass like this it allows you to experience living ‘in the art’ instead of simply observing the art when used in a strip.

KITCHEN // Contemporary

Creature comforts We’ve got some useful ideas to help you create a comfortable and workable kitchen.

Room to move If space allows, try to create wide walkways through the kitchen and around benches. It not only creates a sense of space, opening up the entire room, but it makes working a lot easier. You won’t regret it in years to come. This style works in both traditional and contemporary designs. We found these two terrific layouts for inspiration.

Traditional

The right height Fitting in the fridge is an important consideration, but so is creating the right space for a microwave. Today, microwaves play an important role in most modern kitchens so it’s important to find the right placement height. Consider if both children and adults will need to utilise the device. As a general rule for adults, a microwave should be located about 39 centimetres above the benchtop. Keep safety in mind too. For example, having a microwave located above the stovetop is not ideal.

Flat packs made easy! We design and customise your flatpack kitchen Our point of difference from large hardware stores is that we perfectly design and manufacture your kitchen to your needs. You no longer have to compromise with a one size fits all product. Let Cut N Edge prove that we can make your kitchen, save you money and give you a kitchen you will be proud to show off for years to come.

• Quality craftsmanship made with the material you want • A price difference you just won’t beat when compared to a custom fitted kitchen • Our team of specialists will even come and install it!

Family functionality Along with the living room, the kitchen is one of the main hubs of the house. When designing, think about how you can make your kitchen a happy space for the family. Incorporate a large breakfast bar or bench seating.

Flooring It may seem like common sense, but overlooking the practicality of flooring is a common mistake in kitchen design. There are many options including bamboo, tiling, timber and stone. Softer materials like cork or timber are ideal for cushioning your feet during cooking and preparation time. Tiling is modern, lowmaintenance and durable, while concrete is sleek and stylish. However, it can be pricey and may be colder in winter. Speak to flooring experts about your options.

Our talented design team can help you create beautiful interiors. Our showrooms offer an extensive range of fabrics, window treatments and soft furnishings, together with a wide selection of exclusive furniture, one-off design pieces and original works.

Natural White “Dulux Natural White is a warm white and its versatility spans across new and old properties. It is an excellent choice if you are giving your home a facelift before sale as it is easy to work with when styling with fresh plants and light coloured furniture.”

– Sara Chamberlain, The Real Estate Stylist

With so many different white paints on offer, choosing the right one for your home can be an overwhelming prospect.

Dulux has enlisted four design experts to help Australians navigate their way through the maze of options and find the perfect white for their next painting project.

Lucy Feagins of The Design Files, Julia Green of Greenhouse Interiors, Bonnie Hindmarsh and Lana Taylor of Three Birds Renovations, and The Real Estate Stylist’s Sara Chamberlain and Amy Chamberlain-Primrose have revealed how they’ve used white in their work and living spaces.

“We enlisted design ambassadors who live and breathe whites, so they can arm consumers with the knowledge they need to make the selection process simple and fun,” says Dulux’s Andrea Lucena-Orr. “Warm and cool whites have different undertones and can help you set a mood within a room. Each expert explores how various elements, such as the amount of natural light your home receives and the colours of your flooring and soft furnishings, can affect the way a shade looks on your walls.”

SMART HOME – What’s new?

The flagship Amazon smart speaker has been completely redesigned. It’s now smaller with improved audio output.

The Echo now also comes in six different finishes, including a wood veneer. The price has also dropped to $154, with the first generation device having cost $438.

ECHO PLUS – The first Echo device described as containing a “smart home hub”, the high-powered Plus detects smart home products when switched on, and connects to them with approval from owners. The Plus discovers items such as smart light bulbs and other devices and quickly adds them to a user’s smart home group.

Amazon confirmed it will ship the Echo Plus with a Philips Hue smart light bulb in order to help customers begin the creation of their smart home.

ECHO SHOW – First released in the US earlier this year, the Echo Show houses a seven inch screen, which is used to display information.

The Show can display weather

information and news updates as well as some video content.

ECHO BUTTONS – The most lighthearted of the new products announced, Buttons use Bluetooth to connect to an Echo and then act as game show-style buzzers for games played with voice and Alexa.

ECHO SPOT – The smallest of the new devices, the Spot is designed to replace the alarm clock. The circular screen can be used to display a range of clock faces, as well as making video calls.

TIPS // Clean choices When purchasing blinds or curtains for your living room and bedrooms, speak to the experts about fabric and treatment. There are plenty of easy-clean options available. You just need to know the right kind to buy.

Paper it Investing in wallpaper? Here’s a useful tip – use a paint brush to apply the glue paste to the corners and edges of a wall, but use a paint roller for the rest of the wall.

tip Black magic If you want to introduce some fresh energy and a modern touch into a bedroom, add a splash of black paint. If you are nervous about painting an entire wall, try adding accent touches. Paint your bedside tables, bookshelf or door. For a slightly bolder approach, introduce black by using patterned wallpaper.

Colour blocking The term colour blocking sounds more like an interior design term than one used in landscaping. However, the trend is growing in popularity. Colour blocking brings a dramatic and sophisticated effect to outdoor wall features or entertaining area. Once you have selected your two colours, paint the wall and then use the secondary colour to create blocks around artwork or vertical plants. Another way to use the technique is to add a block rug to the floor of the entertaining area.

It will create a visually appealing effect just as this pictured creation from Haymes Paint does.

Expert inspiration How great is this outdoor dining and kitchen area? We love the combination of timber with the crisp white tones. The extended dining bench not only looks terrific, but is practical. It was created by Sunshine Coast company, Stilus Design and Construction.

Seek advice When it comes to landscaping and choosing plants, there are many decisions to be made. While it’s always great to talk to local nursery and landscaping experts, sometimes it’s also good to seek out the help of friends and family. If you’ve seen a garden you like – or know someone who has a similar style or project – find out what has worked for them. Learn from their mistakes and view their work so you can get an idea of what the finished product will look like.

WWOL Master Class in airconditioning With the temperatures soaring, a hot topic of late is airconditioning. A common question people ask is how to keep the house cool without breaking the bank. The WWOL specialists have compiled some useful information for split systems, ducted and portable airconditioners. Read on for more.

DID YOU KNOW? 1. One of the largest fail rates on airconditioning in general is due to geckos who short circuit the PCB board. However, this can be prevented by hanging moth balls or spraying the surrounding areas with lanolin, which has proven to minimise the effect of this local inhabitant.

2. Having a ceiling fan operate in conjunction with the airconditioner will dramatically reduce the running cost of the airconditioner as it will reach its

tip In order to correctly cool your home or business space, WWOL do encourage you to bring in plans or a mud map with measurements. The details will help a specialist to provide the correct information, product and capacity to cool your space correctly.

desired temperature quicker.

3. When selecting your preferred airconditioner always consider a unit which has inverter technology built in. It will perform significantly better under MEPS approvals and therefore save you money ongoing. This is different than fixed speed technology, which is considered by experts to be less efficient.

WIDE WORLD OF LIGHTS SPECIAL FEATURE //

Split system airconditioners What you need to know • Always oversupply the split system airconditioner to the space. For example, never place a split system airconditioner which is too small for the space. The unit will be less efficient as far as running costs are concerned as it will not switch onto inverter mode when it reaches its desired temperature. Rather, it will also try to reach it without hitting it.

• Always position the head of the split system airconditioner in a space in which the air flow can easily travel through all of the space.

• The term back-to-back is quite frequently discussed in the airconditioning trade. This is where the external compressor is

fitted within three metres of the internal head. Sometimes it is not understood correctly. However, from an ongoing efficiency it is vital to minimise bends and length of piping distance between internal and external units, otherwise the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) in which is placed on a unit can become null and void due to the install set up. It’s important to get it right from the start.

The pros • More energy efficient when trying to cool a single space as you are only using the compressor that is directly related to the room you are cooling.

• Servicing is cheaper for split

systems as they are less complex and if for some reason the unit does fault you do not lose cooling to the entire house/work place just that single space. This means you can isolate that space until a qualified technician arrives to complete the repair. In hotter months, this can make a huge difference to the environment of your home or office.

• Much simpler to install and maintain over time therefore lower ongoing costs.

The cons • If you do require multiple rooms cooled, which are separate from each other, it can be costly to install multiple units.

Ducted airconditioners What you need to know • Before purchasing a ducted airconditioner, consider the cavity of the ceiling in the home/ business in which you would like to install it into.

There is minimum distance to install the return air, head of the air conditioner and of course the ducting, which needs to be factored prior to installing the unit to make sure it will fit into the roof space given.

• Investigate the iZone unit. It helps the owner of the property to control the ducted airconditioning package remotely and isolate each room to be able to independently control the temperature. This is controlled by a user-friendly control panel similar to a tablet, which is great for the user to identify what they are wanting to do with each zone and complete the task easily and quickly.

The pros • Aesthetically pleasing for the home/business as just the vent is visible on the ceiling as opposed internal head of air conditioner, this is all concealed in the roof cavity.

• Ability to use sophisticated software to able to control the unit remotely.

• Greater detail when using the unit.

• Noise reduction due to head being within the roof cavity.

The cons • Costly to maintain and service.

• Ongoing running costs.

• If system does fail, the entire space has no airconditiong.

THE COLOUR This colour sparkles with heat and vitality. Inviting us into its instant warmth, this joyful yellow shade takes us to a destination marked by enthusiasm, good cheer and sunny days.

MELLOW YELLOW The official authority on colour, Pantone, has released its Spring 2017 Fashion Colour Report. And, according to the experts, yellow is stealing the show on catwalks around the globe. Interior design and fashion have a close link and we wouldn’t be surprised to see different hues of yellow popping up in home styling.
