For most, the idea of living by the beach will only ever remain a fantasy. But the Frazer family are living the dream in their new home on the NSW Central Coast. By copying some of the ideas featured below, you too can live the seachange dream, even if it's only pretend.
Create a textural focal point
Mosaic splashback in a contemporary kitchen will inject the space with a textural focal point. Try Intasink's mosaic range made from premium grade stainless steel. It combines the delicacy of the mosaic technique with the durability of steel and is sold by the sheet for easy installation
Use a frameless shower screen
Unobtrusive frameless glass shower screens featured helps create a spacious feel. Once confined to luxury hotel suites, frameless screens are appearing in the home more often as they can be custom-designed to fit any space, making them suitable for bathrooms of all shapes and sizes.
Stegbar has both standard and custom-style frameless shower screens available, which can be fixed into place with either clip or channel fixing, depending on your bathroom layout and operating requirements.
Install an outdoor shower
There's an almost therapeutic quality to showering out in the open, under the sun or stars. Although outdoor showers are particularly popular in coastal homes, you don't have to live near the beach to indulge in such a luxury. Simply find a quiet area of your home and, if necessary, use screens to ensure complete privacy.
Fill a wall niche with timber screens
Use of carved timber screens will bring a dramatic exoticism to this otherwise minimalist space. Set into a series of shallow wall niches and back-lit via strategically placed halogens, the screens will not only create a striking juxtaposition between the a home's modern design and furnishings but also bring it something truly unique.
