Three rooms were tackled in this Cottesloe home. Kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Renovating them together meant the materials and colours could flow naturally through the house rather than stopping and starting from room to room.
The Kitchen
The kitchen footprint already worked well for this family, so the layout remained the same. We removed the original kitchen entirely and installed new cabinetry, benchtops and finishes while keeping the positions of key elements in place.
Polytec Florentine Walnut Woodmatt was used for the cabinetry. The walnut tone brings warmth straight into the room. The soft matte surface keeps the look calm rather than glossy. Timber textures like this settle beautifully into coastal homes, especially when natural light moves through the space during the day.
Across the benchtops, we worked with Dekton by Cosentino Sasea. Its pale stone surface lightens the cabinetry and catches the daylight coming through the windows.
Along the island, the breakfast bar quietly takes on its role. Morning coffee lands here. Someone pulls up a stool while dinner is being prepared. It is the kind of spot people drift towards without thinking.
The overall look leans into a contemporary coastal style. Warm timber, light stone and open space suit a Cottesloe home perfectly.
The Laundry
Step into the laundry and the cabinetry continues.
Using the same Florentine Walnut Woodmatt keeps the rooms connected without trying to match everything exactly.
Tall cupboards house the washer and dryer, keeping the appliances out of sight. The bench gives the room breathing space for folding, sorting and everyday jobs that tend to pile up.
The Bathroom
The bathroom centres around a very distinctive built in bath. Rather than sitting as a standard drop-in tub, the bath has been designed as a fully tiled feature that blends into the surrounding walls and floor. The result feels sculptural and seamless, almost as though the bath has been carved directly into the room.
Olive green tiles wrap the walls, floor and bath structure, creating one continuous surface. This approach gives the space a calm, immersive feel and draws attention to the shape of the bath itself.
The colour also ties back beautifully to the warm walnut tones used in the kitchen cabinetry nearby. We love the combination of olive green and timber. One adds depth, the other warmth, and together they bring a natural, grounded feeling to the home.
Across the kitchen, laundry and bathroom, the materials now move naturally from room to room. Warm walnut cabinetry, soft stone surfaces and olive tones create a palette that feels settled and easy to live with. Renovating the three spaces together has given the home a stronger sense of continuity while keeping each room practical for everyday life.
