Hot Off The Block!


Wow!  Congratulations Ben & Libby!  If you were glued to The Block just as I was, then you will know exactly who I am talking about.

Although all the The Block team were awesome, these two really had the edge.  A well deserved win.  Ben and Libby obviously understand the basic principles of design and certainly get the big picture when it comes to putting a home together from a design perspective.

They had an overall plan of what they wanted to achieve and laid down their basic colour pallet right at the beginning.  So before even lifting a hammer they knew that they would use shades of grey spiced with yellow, black and timber.

Their use of washed timber floors mixed with plush grey carpet was the perfect foil for the recycled timer wall which is a feature of the home.  More natural timber on the floor could have overdone it, but with the washed look everything had it's place.  I loved their clever use of citrus yellow for accessories throughout, and this colour can be replaced by almost any other as fashion and tastes change.  With the couples sophisticated mix of grey, you could change all the yellow to turquoise or lime for a completely different feel.  Once again Ben & libby, Congratulations!

If you want to check out the latest in grey based flooring options, why not call into your nearest Flooring Xtra store to see their great range of carpets and the many options of timber looks from the real thing through to the most amazing imitations.

Cheers,

Mike
