“This can't be faulted – it's the right rug on the right carpet,” said Marty Fox. “So inviting. It makes you want to move right in.”
A pared-back palette with touches of rich gold helped Britt and Taz to a win with a creamy, dreamy main bedroom design for The Block.
WA couple Britt and Taz created a creamy, dreamy master bedroom and walk-in robe. They changed the floorplan to extend the dividing wall between the two spaces and reorientated the bed to look at the view. This also enabled them to add in an extra entrance to the wardrobe, with an arched doorway to complement the bedhead.
The couple’s theme was modern organic luxury, and it was achieved through a soft, creamy palette layered with textural elements, such as gold wallpaper and a custom-made curvaceous bedhead in a luxurious golden velvet.
Shaynna praised the bedhead, calling it stunning, adding that the bedroom was rich in texture, rather than colour, which stopped it from being boring.
The elegant walk-in robe with island bench was highly praised by judge Darren Palmer, who said it was elevated and sophisticated. He loved the neutral palette with the gold that continued into the wardrobe.
"Gorgeous!” he said. “This is Goldilocks. All the storage you could want – the right amount of drawers, the right amount of wardrobe.”
Newbie renovator Taz spent time at the Bunnings shed this week getting tool advice, which is a great tip for anyone doing their first renovation or new build. Also, check out our great range of D.I.Y. videos to get you started.
The paint that Britt and Taz used in their main bedroom and walk-in robe was Ceiling White by British Paints.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
