The Block 2023 Room Reveals: Kyle and Leslie's Guest Bathroom Week 4 | Season 19

This article reviews the bathroom reveal episode of 'The Block 2023', detailing the judges' opinions and scores for each team's main downstairs bathroom. The episode highlighted diverse approaches to bathroom design, ranging from practical powder rooms to luxurious wet rooms, with varying degrees of success in impressing the judges. Leah and Ash, representing House 2, secured first place with a score of 27 points, boosted by an additional gnome point. Their design emphasized marble accents, a solar skylight, an art deco vanity, and shaving cabinets. The layout thoughtfully integrated an adjacent laundry, allowing the space to function as both a powder room for guests and a full bathroom for a future bedroom. Judge Shaynna commended the color palette, brushed nickel tapware, and overall styling, noting its excellence despite potential budget implications. Kristy and Brett from House 3 earned second place with 27.5 points, narrowly missing first due to Leah and Ash's gnome use. Their bathroom featured Kit Kat tiles, polished plaster, and Broadline glass, creating a luxurious atmosphere. The judges, including Darren and Marty, observed that the room could easily serve a future fifth bedroom, enhancing the home's market appeal. Shaynna appreciated the color scheme and lighting, suggesting minor refinements like changing power outlet colors and adding underfloor heating for a perfect score. Kyle and Leslie of House 4 placed third with 26 points. Their design showcased signature curved walls, custom artwork, a Nood Co vanity, gunmetal tapware, and a cavity slider door to maximize a compact space. Despite being the smallest room in 'Block' history, functioning as a powder room rather than a full bathroom, the judges recognized its luxury and potential to appeal to discerning buyers if the couple maintained their design quality in subsequent rooms. Steph and Gian from House 5 shared fourth place with 25 points. Their powder room featured a Quartzite vanity with a Dekton benchtop, an integrated sink, French pattern flooring, and a feathered artwork complemented by a large mirror, projecting a luxurious feel consistent with their overall home design. However, the judges, particularly Darren and Marty, criticized the layout, specifically the toilet's prominent visibility upon entry, and described the paintwork as uninspired. Eliza and Liberty, also from House 1, tied for fourth place with 25 points. Their bathroom's most striking element was a moss-covered feature wall, which elicited mixed reactions from the judges. Shaynna expressed confusion, while Marty, despite appreciating the layout, fixtures, and the inclusion of a bath, found the moss wall to be excessive. Only Darren saw the moss wall as a positive, highlighting its acoustic benefits and its contribution to air quality and the neutral color scheme. The room also included a Nood Co basin and a new a.live body home cleaning starter kit. #TheBlock2023 #BathroomReveal #HomeInspiration #DesignTrends #RoomReveals #InteriorDesign #LeahAndAsh #KristyAndBrett #KyleAndLeslie #StephAndGian #ElizaAndLiberty

The Block 2021's "Hell Week" challenged teams to complete the crucial connecting spaces of their homes: hallways, laundries, and powder rooms, with varying success and design philosophies. The task aimed to unify the diverse styles and layouts across the different houses. Kirsty & Jesse secured first place with a score of 29.5/30, spending $44,428. Their main hallway seamlessly blended contemporary elements with their established Hamptons style, featuring a smart lock, a bench seat, a shell chandelier, and in-floor lighting highlighting architectural arches. The judges lauded the welcoming entry and were particularly impressed by the powder room, which functioned as a full-size bathroom, and a highly functional laundry with extensive storage and elegant tiled splashbacks. Their meticulous execution and thoughtful design elements resonated strongly with the judges, leading to their victory. Ronnie & Georgia claimed second place with 29/30 points, investing $37,418. Their gallery-style entrance hall was a standout, adorned with exquisite artworks by artists like Jai Vasicek and Lizzy Stageman, complemented by a flawlessly finished Gyprock. The sun-drenched corridor, enhanced by VELUX Skylights, created a bright and inviting path to the living room. A steel-frame door elegantly separated the living area from the bedroom hall, further embellished with art, and a clever loft storage area was incorporated above. Their laundry space was also noted for ticking all the essential boxes in terms of design and utility. Mitch & Mark earned third place with 26.5/30, with a spend of $25,092. Their design featured a striking glass floor in the hallway, designed to channel light to the downstairs area, and beautiful artwork. The hallway effectively delineated the living and sleeping zones, a feature appreciated by the judges, especially when it led to a full-size pantry that had been conspicuously absent in their kitchen week reveal. The versatile and fully equipped laundry, complete with garage access, also served as an impromptu mudroom with ample storage, successfully tying the various parts of the house together. Tanya & Vito finished fourth with 25/30, spending $34,138. They maintained their distinct colourful and quirky style throughout these spaces. A large aluminium and glass door was used to separate the living room from the hallway, while simultaneously allowing light into a compact yet functional office space. Their art-lined corridor included a powder room. However, a visible switchboard cover and a potentially polarizing mirror in the powder room drew some criticism. Despite these minor setbacks, the laundry room impressed Shaynna with its generous storage solutions. Josh & Luke placed last with a score of 18.5/30, spending $29,504. Despite their efforts to rectify previous layout issues during "Hell Week," their main hallway, characterized by six doors, and an incomplete powder room led to disappointment among the judges. Nevertheless, their laundry, located at the end of the hall, was recognized as one of their best rooms, described as spacious and well-appointed, offering a highlight in an otherwise challenging week for the duo. #TheBlock2021 #HallwayLaundryPowderRoom #RoomReveals #HomeDesign #InteriorStyling #KirstyJesse #RonnieGeorgia #MitchMark #TanyaVito #JoshLuke

The article details the results of 'Hellweek' on The Block 2022, focusing on the highly anticipated hallway, mudroom, and laundry room reveals from five competing couples. This week presented significant challenges, including the vast number of spaces and adverse weather conditions in Gisbourne, pushing contestants to their limits in connecting various rooms within their houses. Jenny and Dylan secured first place with a score of 27/30. Their hallway was praised for its staggering scale, flowing seamlessly from the old to the new build, and featuring a functional yet inviting design with a seating nook and artworks. The judges were particularly impressed with their laundry and mudroom, noting the abundant storage, luxurious appliances, and thoughtful functionality, despite minor unfinished details like architraves or skirts. The space was deemed one of the best 'Hellweek' results ever seen on the show. Tom and Sarah-Jane earned second place with 26.5/30. Their design successfully blended old and new styles, evident in the wallpapered breezeway connecting the two sections of their home. Judges appreciated the welcoming sitting space, a well-equipped mudroom (including a dog bed), and a functional laundry room featuring high-end appliances and meticulous attention to detail. While not entirely perfect due to some ceiling issues, the overall mix of country and contemporary elements created a harmonious and appealing environment. Rachel and Ryan placed third with 25/30. Their new entrance and breezeway impressed the judges with high-end lighting and extensive artwork, guiding them towards a cohesive living space. Notable features included hallway storage, fluted Laminex wall inserts, and a laundry room equipped with Caesarstone benchtops and luxurious appliances. Despite obvious signs of time constraints, such as unpainted areas and incomplete styling, the judges recognized their successful vision in integrating the older and newer parts of the house. Ankur and Sharon achieved fourth place with 23/30. Their entry hallway, characterized by a dark rug and charcoal sheers, evoked a dramatic 'Gothic Camp' style. While the hallway itself wasn't Shaynna's favorite, the mudroom and laundry proved to be a strong point. Highlights included a dog wash station, dark marble Caesarstone, striking tiles, ample storage, and high-end appliances, all complemented by a perfectly situated powder room. Judges noted that while the hallway could benefit from a paint color change, the mudroom's styling perfectly suited the house's aesthetic. Omar and Oz finished in fifth place with 20.5/30. Their design incorporated period-inspired elements like fretwork, ceiling roses, and cornicing in the hallway, along with Venetian plaster and a well-planned lighting scheme to highlight artwork. A beautiful powder room and porta-timber accents were also noted. However, their mudroom and laundry were significantly unfinished, even with state-of-the-art V-Zug appliances, indicating the severe time pressures faced during 'Hellweek' and highlighting the immense challenges of the task. #TheBlock2022 #HallwayDesign #MudRoom #LaundryRoom #RoomReveal #HomeInterior #DesignTrends #RenovationChallenge #InteriorStyling

This blog post provides a detailed review of the formal lounge room reveals from Week 2 of 'The Block 2019' competition, featuring five contestant teams: Matt and El'ise, Mitch and Mark, Tess and Luke, Andy and Deb, and Jesse and Mel. Each team's design approach, key elements, and judges' feedback are highlighted. Matt and El'ise from Western Australia secured the win with a score of 29/30 for their formal lounge. Their design paid homage to heritage details, incorporating oversized cornices, an ornate ceiling rose, and an arch and corville in the hallway. The judges, particularly Shaynna, praised their color palette, which included burnt orange drapes, occasional chairs, and colonial-detailed cabinetry. The use of Venetian plaster walls, high-fashion photographic prints, a grey lounge, and a matching rug contributed to a cozy, homely feel. A deco-style drinks trolley added functionality. Neale commented on the room's ability to tell a sophisticated, yet usable family story, capturing a sense of 'home' rarely achieved in a new space. Darren noted the room's success in reflecting the opulence of the Gold Rush era, fitting the Oslo building's history. Mitch and Mark created a formal lounge with an 'Old Hollywood' inspiration, scoring 28.5/30. Their design featured a rich palette of blues, greens, and burnt oranges, including royal blue inlaid carpet, a blue velvet couch, and green velvet occasional chairs. The judges appreciated their bold use of color, especially the spiced orange drapery. Whimsical elements such as a glass and bronze 'pineapple' table, an art deco feature table with reading lights, a large brass planter with a Maidenhair Fern, and a quirky torso vase were noted. While Shaynna found it 'lush and over the top' but loved it, Darren expressed minor reservations about the marble-look cabinetry. Tess and Luke delivered a pared-back yet stylish formal living space, earning a score of 22/30 despite a challenging week. Their room showcased a black feature fireplace, white floor-to-ceiling drapes, a sunken ceiling, blue velvet couches, a circular decor-style table, and peach-colored occasional chairs. The hero piece for Tess was an understated deco-style chandelier. Neale and Darren were impressed by the room's seamless integration with the hallway and the stunning parquet-style flooring, particularly the matte finish herringbone pattern. They felt the room offered a modern aesthetic with a sense of grandeur that suited the house's heritage. Shaynna suggested lowering the chandelier and expressed concerns about the artwork placement, but the judges acknowledged the couple's effort under difficult circumstances. Andy and Deb opted for a 'coastal luxe' theme in their formal lounge, scoring 25.5/30. A striking green feature wall in the hall served as a beautiful contrast and enhanced their chosen artwork. The room itself featured exposed brickwork above the fireplace, white cabinetry, a brown leather couch, and two green occasional chairs. Judges commended their art selection, especially a piece by Jonathan Gemmell, for its vibrant colors that complemented the chairs. Shaynna highlighted the couple's effective use of oversized elements, such as a large copper coffee table, substantial artwork, large chairs, and an enormous palm. Neale appreciated the fusion of styles—Scandi, mid-century pieces like structural pendant lights, and art deco styling—which collectively created a coherent and inviting first impression, maintaining a 'colonial' feel appropriate for the building's heritage. Jesse and Mel aimed for a 'Toorak' sense of opulence, investing significantly in their formal lounge, which scored 23/30. Their design included brass-inlaid double doors, a sumptuous chandelier, large-scale artwork, and dark-colored cabinets. Two green occasional chairs acted as focal points, contrasting with a white couch and rug to create an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. Darren admired the room's grandeur and stateliness. Neale, while acknowledging their ambition, felt the room was less 'homely' than others, suggesting it might appeal more to an investment buyer. The design blended Federation touches with deco features, such as round brass lamps and coffee tables. The judges liked the contemporary pendant light paired with a Federation ceiling rose, though Shaynna questioned the marble feature tile around the perimeter. The article concludes by pondering whether Jesse and Mel's bold design choices will ultimately yield success on auction day. #TheBlock #RoomReveals #FormalLounge #HomeInspiration #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #TheBlock2019 #LuxuryDesign #HeritageStyle

This article provides a detailed review of the main bedroom reveals from Week 4 of 'The Block 2025' competition, offering insights into the design choices, styling, and judges' feedback for each of the five competing couples. The article systematically presents each couple's room, highlighting both their successes and areas for improvement, based on the judges' critiques. It functions as a summary and analysis of the week's interior design challenges. Britt & Taz secured first place with their master bedroom, which was praised for its elevated and sophisticated aesthetic. The judges, including Marty, lauded the neutral palette accented with gold, describing it as "rich, but not snobby." Key design elements included a well-styled bedhead, Graficoed light switches, an Albany Antique Bench, and two artworks by Bronwyn Barton. A Rug Addiction Clooney rug was also noted for its harmonious integration. The walk-in wardrobe received high commendation for its ideal layout and practical additions like a Hettich fingerprint safe, earning the room the label "Goldilocks." The only minor criticism was directed at the lighting plan. Emma & Ben achieved second place with a main bedroom characterized by its generous size, likened to a luxurious hotel suite. Shaynna was particularly impressed by the rich burgundy and oak brown color scheme, the Stoke holographic fireplace, and the variety of textures, including carpet, rugs, curved chairs, and circular ottomans. The Block Shop “Fossil Face” artworks, a Cooper & Co Luna mirror, and a Jett Occasional Chair were highlighted as stunning styling choices. The walk-in island was noted for its impressive size, comparable to a kitchen island, symbolizing sheer luxury. Darren appreciated the oak wardrobes and their chocolate interiors. Despite the overall positive reception, the low-hanging light was singled out as a design flaw by Marty, preventing a perfect score. Robby & Mat's main bedroom secured third place, distinguished by its expansive walk-in wardrobe, large Velux skylight, and a striking textured feature wall. Darren was impressed by the meticulous attention to detail, evident in the four-poster bed and bedsides from Timberwolf, a comfortable sitting area with a Svend Mocha rug, and Bromley artworks. The inclusion of natural products, such as the Al.ive Body Oil set, added to the room's appeal. However, the judges felt there were too many Bromley artworks and that the room lacked a fireplace or an island in the wardrobe, indicating missed opportunities for maximizing the space's potential. Sonny & Alicia's main bedroom, which placed fourth, was described as embracing and gallery-like. The entry featured artworks by Michelle Keighley, Natalie Uhrik, and Kylie Daniel, leading into a space with custom-designed wallpaper by Alicia and luxurious linens. The complementary bedhead, shimmering velvet curtains, and timber veneer walls were all deemed successful design elements. The Rug Addiction Moorland Fig Rug from The Darren Palmer collection was also noted. However, the air conditioner and corner plants were criticized for creating a "corporate" feel. Darren suggested the inclusion of a lounge or chair to better utilize the extra space. While the wardrobe's color choices were praised, Shaynna questioned the placement of the make-up table in a dark corner, and Marty pointed out the absence of additional drawers. Han & Can's main bedroom finished in fifth place. Their design incorporated bold colors inspired by their Bromley and Karen Goddard artworks, aiming for a significant impact. However, the judges found the bright blue feature wall overwhelming and the pendant lights unsuitable for the space. Despite these issues, the judges believed the problems were easily rectifiable. The Martini Furniture bedhead was considered a strong anchor for the room, and the brown and pink Milly cushions were deemed ideal for the wall. Suggestions for improvement included repositioning certain items while retaining the Cooper & Co Squiggly floor lamp, backlit mirror, and retro Lucy and Hartley vases. The careful use of space within the Freedom wardrobes was a positive aspect, but overall, the room required further refinement to achieve a winning standard. #TheBlock2025 #MainBedroomReveal #HomeDesign #InteriorStyling #RoomCritique #LuxuryInteriors #BedroomDesign #WalkInWardrobe #ArtInstallation

The Block 2019 Living & Dining Room Reveal showcases the diverse design approaches and outcomes from five contestant couples, each vying for top scores from the judges. Jesse and Mel achieved the highest score of 29/30, winning the week with their highly functional and contemporary living and dining space. Their decision to position the dining table adjacent to the kitchen bench created an open feel, and maintaining a 500mm distance from the kitchen maximized the living area's usability, impressing the judges for its practicality. A custom fireplace with black marble benchtops and cabinetry served as a strong architectural focal point, allowing comfortable viewing from the oversized couch and two blue occasional chairs. A large optical artwork doubling as an acoustic wall panel added sophistication and functionality, while brass details on the coffee table and chairs completed their 'Toorak by the Bay' aesthetic. Andy and Deb secured second place with a score of 28/30, continuing their 'coastal luxe' theme. Their living area featured a seamless flow from the kitchen and a large timber dining table paired with contemporary chairs, oriented adjacent to the island bench. The judges praised the layout for its effective use of space and natural light, highlighting elements such as VJ panelling, a large white fan, and a light, bright color palette. Organic materials like a rattan coffee table, an icon lounge chair, a white sofa, and a jute wall hanging contributed to a serene atmosphere. A significant feature was the commissioned Indigenous artwork, which resonated deeply with the judges for its personal connection to Andy's heritage, adding a unique and meaningful layer to the design. El’ise and Matt earned 24.5/30 for their contemporary and homely living and dining space, marking a strong comeback after previous judging criticisms. Their room incorporated burnt orange chairs, petrified wood nesting tables, a brick feature fireplace, and impactful artworks. The dark charcoal sofa, grey rug, and olive-hued cushions complemented their green kitchen stools, creating a cohesive color scheme. The judges appreciated the custom floating bench with built-in storage and the divine timber dining table, noting its organic yet refined feel when combined with stone elements. The overall impression was one of comfort and sophisticated design. Mitch and Mark, with a score of 22/30, maintained their 'Palm Springs Luxe' theme. They replaced previous light-box windows with framed surf photography, a decision that was well-received by the judges. Their immaculate styling included a white-brick fireplace, blue velvet dining chairs, a white terrazzo table, and a brown leather couch. Shaynna praised the detailed display of cutlery and the navy placemats, while Darren noted the fireplace's central architectural presence. Although Shaynna had reservations about some art and metal finishes, the room showcased a luxurious and bright aesthetic with white and cream tones, marble side tables, and a grey occasional chair contrasting with the dark parquetry floor. Tess and Luke also scored 22/30, overcoming various challenges to deliver a contemporary living and dining area. The standout feature was a custom-made timber table, designed to extend from their island bench, creating a central focal point. Their design utilized a mellow palette of whites and creams, including an oversized cream couch, an earth-toned circular coffee table, and a light-colored rug, all set against a black brick feature wall and fireplace. The oversized void brought in ample light, which Shaynna highlighted as a significant selling point. While functionality was deemed slightly less effective than other contestants, the judges admired the aesthetic coherence and the successful integration of their artwork from a previous week. #TheBlock2019 #LivingRoomReveal #DiningRoomReveal #HomeInteriorDesign #LuxuryHomeDecor #ContemporaryDesign #CoastalLuxe #TheBlockShop

The Block 2021 competition is at its halfway point, with teams focusing on guest bedroom designs and redoing previously judged spaces. This week's tasks included creating well-designed, well-executed rooms, with few building defects reported. Some teams opted for dedicated kids' bedrooms, while others aimed for more flexible design possibilities. A team challenge involved salvaging materials from a boat junkyard to create an item for their rooms. Kirsty and Jesse won this challenge with a rustic stool, earning a $10,000 prize. Controversy arose when teams were allowed to modify their salvaged creations for their bedrooms, leading to disagreements, particularly between Georgia and Tanya. Ronnie and Georgia presented a sophisticated guest bedroom featuring natural light, layered textures, and a subtle pattern mix. Judges praised their striped wallpaper, color palette of soft pink, olive green, and crisp white, and the integrated timber hanging bookshelf. Shaynna awarded them a perfect 10 for the room, noting the improved plastering. For their redo, Ronnie and Georgia enlarged their master walk-in robe by 50%, transforming it into an "amazing room" that would have scored a perfect 30/30 if presented initially. They spent $24,680 and achieved a winning score of 29. Mitch and Mark revamped their guest bedroom, addressing initial feedback of it being bland and claustrophobic. They swapped a queen bed for a double, removed a pendant light to enhance space, and updated the styling with new artwork and striking gold pineapple-based lamps. Shaynna appreciated the "simple and joyful" palette. They also created a gender-neutral jungle-themed kids' bedroom with bunk beds, a play station, and green built-in wardrobe doors. The judges found it "whimsical, playful and fun," though some noted minor issues with finishes. They spent $22,461 and scored 28. Tanya and Vito designed a kids' bedroom with terrazzo wallpaper, oversized bunk beds, a desk, and built-in cabinetry. Their modified challenge piece fit next to the loft bed, receiving judicial approval. However, Shaynna suggested softening the room's sharp edges with a plush chair or rug. After struggling with their mid-century modern style in previous weeks, Shelley Craft took Tanya and Vito to visit Jimmy and Tam's Palm Springs-inspired home from The Block 2020. Inspired by this, Tanya and Vito redid their master ensuite, replacing busy tiling and a vintage light fitting with white tiles and a subtle black wire pendant. Judges were pleased, noting the lighter, more contemporary look. They spent $15,220 and scored 27. Luke and Josh faced challenges, including a crushing defeat and a building code violation for their outdoor bathroom, which required removing external walls. For their guest bedroom, designed for a teenage girl, they installed a bay window with built-in cabinets and an upholstered seat. An asymmetric feature wall of contoured paneling was placed behind the bedhead, and their challenge-made bedside tables were painted black. Shaynna criticized the asymmetric paneling and lack of design ingenuity. The judges also expressed concern about Luke and Josh's budget constraints and styling choices, with Darren suggesting a warmer palette and Neale highlighting their failure to appeal to the target buyer. Their redo of the first bathroom, which was previously deemed "incredibly dated," involved building a timber screen between the vanity and toilet, a change that failed to impress the judges. They spent $17,248 and received a score of 20. Kirsty and Jesse, managing the largest house, presented two bedrooms and worked on their redo room. Their kids' bedroom featured a warm palette with floral wallpaper, dusty pinks, and white linen, complemented by a banquette seat under a plantation-shuttered window and built-in cabinets. Judges praised their lighting choices and Hamptons-style approach, suggesting shelving instead of cupboards. For their redo, Kirsty and Jesse redecorated their week one guest bedroom with a new paint color, updated lamps, and bedside tables. Darren noted the significant improvement, especially with their propeller stool from the challenge. Neale concluded that the room was now "selling the dream." They spent $19,855 and achieved a score of 29.5. The competition progresses to kitchens next week, with some teams adapting to feedback while others maintain their design vision. #TheBlock2021 #GuestBedroom #BedroomDesign #HomeRenovation #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #KidsRoom #BathroomRedo #DesignChallenge

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Week 12 room reveals from The Block 2019, focusing on the contestants' hallways, laundries, guest bedrooms, and studies. The judges evaluated each team's execution and design choices, highlighting successful elements and innovative solutions. Mitch and Mark, the winners of the week with a score of 26/30, impressed the judges with their exceptionally executed hallway and guest bedroom. Their design emphasized architectural lighting, including back-lit circles and mid-century-inspired spiked pendants, and a seamless flow between communal areas. The downstairs area featured a striking Galah print and a consistent light-oak flooring that extended up the stairs, complemented by a thick wooden handrail and glass panels. Their guest bedroom was praised for its simple yet stylish taupe bedhead, linen in greens, pinks, and creams, and functional elements like ample storage and a study desk with a Kate Moss print. The room also incorporated dark navy carpet and additional mid-century lights, with a light well providing much-needed brightness, contributing to the overall exceptional quality of their house. Jesse and Mel secured second place with a score of 25.5/30, tackling a media room, study, hallway, and the relocation of their laundry. Their design showcased a stunning chevron timber floor, hand-laid by Jesse, which harmonized with brushed steel accents in the stairwell. Large abstract art in the entrance and modern art pieces extending into the level two hallway enhanced the contemporary aesthetic. The judges appreciated the simplicity of an archway and the transformation of the formal living area. A wine cellar on Level One was a significant drawcard, recognized for its market appeal. Upstairs, a chandelier added elegance, and the media room, featuring a plush velvet couch, wall unit, abstract art, and a circular coffee table, was well-received. The strategic placement of the laundry on Level Two was also commended for its practicality. Andy and Deb, placing third with 23/30, delivered a study, two toilets, and hallway spaces across multiple levels. Despite running out of time, their presented areas were impeccably finished. Their hallways featured statement art, rattan pendant lights, a cream-colored hall runner, and an African artwork at the base of Level Two. The couple incorporated various wall treatments, including VJ wall panelling and a white-painted brick wall, to soften spaces and add interest. Timber accents were prominent, particularly in their study nook, which included a terrazzo bench, slatted timber balustrade, timber office organizers, and plush office chairs. The neutral palette and functional design of the study were noted as attractive features for high-end buyers. Matt and El'ise ranked fourth with 21/30, presenting their stairway, hallway, a powder room, laundry, and a self-contained study space upstairs. Their grand stairwell, with timber slats and artwork on the landing, was praised. The Level One powder room, featuring slate-grey mosaic tiles, a black concrete sink, and modern pendant light, was admired despite its dark palette. On Level Two, wall sconces and an oversized hall runner contributed to the design, with Shaynna particularly impressed by the inclusion of a laundry chute. The generous home office area, equipped with timber cabinetry, timber floors, a bench seat, and artwork, was a highlight, and a skylight in this area was recognized for bringing natural light into an otherwise dark space. Tess and Luke finished in fifth place with 20.5/30, focusing their efforts on an upstairs media room and a revamped formal living space transformed into a dining area. Their most significant change was the installation of an enormous light well and a transparent ‘Viridian’ pane upstairs, designed to flood the kitchen/living area with light. The judges commended the light well for allowing the house to "breathe again" and connect skylights to the downstairs space. The reorganization of the formal dining setting improved the flow of the kitchen/living area. Despite budget constraints, Tess furnished the media room effectively with a large white couch, abstract artwork, a circular coffee table, and a bookshelf. A concrete table and plush chairs completed the new dining area. The large abstract art and dark hall runner rug in their unfinished hallway and stairway indicated their design intentions, and the media room, with its dark bottle green wallpaper and large couch, was considered an incredible and valuable space, especially with the architectural feature of the light well. #TheBlock #RoomReveals #HallwayWeek #GuestBedroom #LaundryDesign #HomeOffice #InteriorDesign #HomeDecoration #TheBlock2019

The Master Bedroom Reveal for The Block 2023 season showcased various approaches to creating a luxurious and functional private sanctuary. Each competing couple presented their interpretation of a high-end master suite, which included spacious rooms, walk-in wardrobes, relaxation areas, reading nooks, and make-up stations. Steph and Gian secured first place with 29 points. Their master wing featured a large walk-in wardrobe and dressing area, highlighted by a marble-topped island and Hafele accessories, offering extensive storage. The bedroom itself was praised for its lighting plan, neutral palette, layout, and styling. The only critique was the size of the bedside tables, which were deemed not large enough. Kristy and Brett earned second place with 27.5 points. Their bedroom was described as “simpler and more impactful,” featuring a warm color palette, Venetian Plaster wall finish, a “sensational” bedhead, and a rug. The layout was considered excellent, with a comfortable atmosphere, and the inclusion of skylights and a fireplace added to the appeal. Similar to Steph and Gian's room, the bedside tables were noted as being too small. Leah and Ash finished in third place with 23.5 points. Their master suite was recognized for its scalloped ceiling and a curved bench seat at the window, complemented by floor-to-ceiling sheers and Palm-Springs inspired artwork. Despite the unique aesthetic and consistent color palette, the judges felt some styling choices were eclectic without purpose, and basic design elements like adequate shoe storage were missing. The overall plan could have better utilized the stunning ceiling and natural light. Eliza and Liberty came in fourth with 22.5 points. Their room presented a cozy and beautiful space with double-glazed Aluplast windows and a fireplace. However, judges observed incomplete paintwork, sparse styling, and art placement that favored one side of the room. While the layout, especially within the Kinsman wardrobes, and color scheme were appropriate, the overall impression suggested the pair might have been overwhelmed, leading to some clashing choices. Kyle and Leslie placed fifth with 21 points. Their Master Bedroom maintained a consistent aesthetic and displayed excellent craftsmanship. However, practicality concerns were raised regarding the harsh texture in the recessed bedhead arch, overhead LED downlights, and artwork. The absence of a dedicated make-up and dressing station was identified as a missed opportunity, leading to the judges' conclusion that style was prioritized over function. They suggested that future designs should focus more on liveability rather than purely aesthetic appeal. #TheBlock #RoomReveal #MasterBedroom #HomeDesign #InteriorStyling #HomeDecor #WardrobeDesign #LightingPlan #NeutralPalette

The seventh week of 'The Block 2025' focused on kitchen renovations, where five couples presented their designs to the judges. Each couple aimed to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing kitchen, integrating various appliances, cabinetry, and design elements. The judging process highlighted both successes and areas for improvement in each design, ultimately leading to a tie for first place. Robby & Mat's kitchen was praised for its 'French farmhouse' aesthetic, featuring a well-placed island, Freedom cabinetry, Neff appliances, and a pot filler. The artwork, 'Lavender Farm by Jessie Rigby,' was noted for accenting the space. A secret door leading to the main bedroom received mixed reviews, with judges appreciating its whimsy but questioning its practicality due to a gap and ornaments. Despite some hurried styling and a missing glassware cabinet, their kitchen was considered a strong contender. Britt & Taz also secured equal first place, captivating judges with their massive island bench, wood-clad ceiling, and a cohesive color scheme that extended throughout their home. The kitchen showcased high-end appliances, including a Unox Casa oven, Quaisair rangehood, and a Subzero fridge, all set within Caribou Oak cabinetry and a Dekton Velnu benchtop. Black Mango Anka Oak counter stools complemented the design. The tiled floor, initially a point of skepticism, was ultimately approved for contributing to a contemporary country feel. The overall atmosphere and thoughtful touches like the Al.ive Kitchen Trio were highlighted as key factors in their success, extending beyond just the technology. Sonny & Alicia's kitchen, which earned second place, impressed with its blue Freedom cabinetry, strategically placed Asko appliances, and a Dekton-topped island bench. Judges commended the efficient layout, noting that the fridge and pantry were optimally positioned. Wall panelling and pink and earth-toned dot paintings from The Block Shop helped to integrate the kitchen with the adjacent living and dining areas, which also featured a new dining table and ceiling beams. The only suggestion for improvement was the addition of a dramatic element, such as a pendant light. Han & Can's kitchen, finishing in third place, effectively linked with the dining area by extending the pearlescent render from the living room fireplace to the rangehood and reorienting the dining table. The inclusion of a Vintec wine fridge next to an existing wine cabinet, AEG appliances, LED lighting in drawers, and Dekton Taga features were appreciated. A signature porthole Velux skylight was also a notable feature. However, the judges expressed concern about the muted color palette, questioning how the neutral tones of the cabinetry, despite being accented by the Al.ive Kitchen Duo set and Darren Palmer Collection St. Sultry candle, integrated with the rest of their color-rich house. Emma & Ben's kitchen, placing fourth, featured bold colors and Smeg appliances with rose gold trim, along with a blast chiller. While the Freedom Kitchen design was admired, the judges pointed out significant layout issues. The placement of the fridge near the bedroom doorway created a potential obstruction, and the decision to put a bin in a cupboard was questioned. Although the color palette was spot on and artwork like 'Geese of Daylesford' by Annie Ross, along with a Pomegranate, Watermelon, and Lime Al.ive Kitchen Trio, tied the room to the region, the lack of effective zone planning meant usability was sacrificed for style, impacting their score. The judges emphasized that despite the beautiful cabinetry, functional shortcomings were a major drawback. #TheBlock2025 #KitchenWeek #RoomReveals #HomeInspiration #KitchenDesign #FreedomKitchens #InteriorDesign #ApplianceIntegration

In Week 9 of The Block 2020, Queensland contestants Jimmy and Tam, consistent winners throughout the season, collaborated with The Oslo winners Tess and Luke for All Star week. Despite the challenge of delivering multiple spaces, the teams successfully completed the task. Jimmy and Tam had high expectations for their game-changer chandelier and a hidden laundry door. The judges, Darren Palmer, Shaynna Blaze, and Neale Whitaker, provided their evaluations of the spaces. Upon entering House 5, the judges were immediately impressed by the grand entrance, particularly a Murano glass chandelier in the entryway, which Neale and Shaynna described as 'stunning' and 'absolutely beautiful.' Darren appreciated the layered palette created by the light against the ribbed wall. Neale, however, was critical of the entryway table, a glass cabinet displaying an Alexander McQueen book, suggesting it felt more like a shop display than a welcoming home feature. He desired a more inviting console display, such as flowers in a '50s style vase, and a rug on the terrazzo floor to convey a sense of 'Welcome home.' Darren, despite not knowing what to expect, felt the design successfully meshed different elements of the house. Shaynna was eager to discover what lay behind a secret door, initially hoping for a wine room. To her surprise, it revealed a laundry. Darren hailed the decision to conceal the laundry door within the feature wall as a 'masterstroke,' preventing an awkward placement directly opposite the front door. Neale concurred, calling it 'genius.' The laundry itself featured a vibrant color palette, matching the kitchen's style, with thoughtful details like a styled shelf and practical storage solutions. Shaynna was particularly pleased to find a tall cabinet specifically designed to accommodate a broom, an inclusion that elicited her delight. Returning to the hallway, Darren noted that House 5 stood out as one of the most unique homes he had encountered on The Block, emphasizing how many potentially problematic ideas had coalesced successfully. The judges then discovered another hidden door at the bottom of the stairs, leading to a cleverly concealed powder room. Shaynna found it 'sweet,' Neale described it as 'very simple, but nicely executed,' and Darren questioned, 'What is not to love?' Jimmy and Tam's characteristic use of color was evident, with a pink hand towel and soap adding a bright accent to the otherwise white space. Neale and Shaynna admired the mirror, likening it to a '50s TV set with antennas and legs. The final area inspected was the staircase. While generally praised, a significant oversight was identified: a large window looking directly onto the street without any privacy covering. Shaynna expressed concern about the lack of privacy, and Darren stated it couldn't proceed to sale in that condition. Tam clarified during judging that they intended to install a privacy solution. At the top of the stairs, Neale was particularly impressed by a pop art print created by Luke during the All Star art challenge, commending its high standard. Darren also highlighted the seamless continuity between the staircase and the flooring both downstairs and upstairs, noting that this level of execution was unparalleled among the houses seen that day. Additionally, Jimmy and Tam used the week to revisit and complete their walk-in wardrobe, a 're-do room.' They had faced criticism earlier in the season for prioritizing the master ensuite over the walk-in wardrobe. Addressing the feedback, they modified the layout, closing off a wall from their ensuite and extending the wardrobe space to create a luxurious area for potential buyers. #TheBlock2020 #JimmyAndTam #RoomReveal #HallwayDesign #LaundryRoom #InteriorDesign #HomeRenovation #MuranoChandelier #HiddenDoor

The article reviews the living and dining room reveals from 'The Block 2024,' highlighting the designs, judges' comments, and specific decor choices for each competing couple. The first-place winners, Kylie and Brad, received high praise for their impactful, open-plan living and dining area. Their design featured a sophisticated lighting plan, a Christian Cole circular mirror, a custom Islay dining table with accent green chairs, and Steph Harris artwork. A notable element was the Stoke fireplace with a Dekton surround, mirroring the kitchen's aesthetic, and a cohesive moody motif that impressed the judges, particularly how the black TV integrated seamlessly into a black wall. The only minor critique was the size of the Arabella Avenue rug. Courtney and Grant secured second place with a design described as 'Rum ‘n’ Raisin,' offering pops of color and unique style elements. Their space was distinguished by a Globe West Leon dining table and chairs from Courtney’s Lazy Stylist collection, elegant plastering around a Framed TV niche, and a layout deemed perfect for a holiday home. Judges appreciated the practical considerations, such as well-placed power points and effective lamps, and the styling, especially the Artist Lane artwork. The primary critique focused on the fireplace's placement, which judges felt should have been on the opposite side of the room. Maddy and Charlotte, the third-place finishers, presented a room with a soaring ceiling, Velux skylights, Laminex paneling, and Venetian render. Judges admired the Joel Elliot fireside cabinetry and artwork choices, along with a neutral color palette and a real wood-burning fireplace. However, the scale of the furniture was identified as a significant issue; the surfboard-shaped Seb Curve dining table and Theo dining chairs, while beautiful, were considered too small for the space. Judges also noted a lack of grandeur in the coffee table and styling, and the lighting design was found to be underwhelming, leading to a perception of the room as somewhat 'Vanilla.' Ricky and Haydn's living and dining area, which placed fourth, initially impressed judges with a lowered ceiling creating an 'inviting and cosy' atmosphere and a perfectly placed fireplace. However, the furniture arrangement created an 'optical illusion' with off-center placement, particularly the Sorrento Modular Sofa from Freedom, which judges felt needed to be larger and straightened. Issues were also raised regarding the positioning of the Velux skylights. Despite these criticisms, the 'Wet Season' artwork from the Cungelella Art Collective against James Hardie Groove lining and the Dekton shelf near the fire were highlights, though overall styling was considered a letdown. Mimi and Kristian's fifth-place room featured a pleasant color palette, Laminex panel surrounds, and artwork from Kamilya Lowana White, along with a generous dining table. However, a major design flaw was the room's orientation towards the television, despite a beautiful exterior view. The placement of the Nina Armchair was seen as a mistake, and the presence of a faux chimney without a functional fireplace was considered a missed opportunity. Judges suggested adjusting the Magic Wool Rug from Rug Addiction and relocating the television to open up the space and potentially accommodate an additional couch, believing these changes would resolve the room's functional issues. #TheBlock2024 #RoomReveal #LivingDiningRoom #HomeInspiration #DesignTrends #InteriorDesign #HomeDecoration #RealityTV #TheBlock

The article explores the controversial inclusion of a urinal in a luxury home bathroom during an episode of HGTV's "Rock the Block." Atlanta-based designer Michel Smith Boyd, along with Anthony Elle, introduced the idea as part of a "mountain modern for a bachelor" vision. Smith Boyd acknowledged the risk, noting that urinals are not common in residential settings but argued for their potential appeal to a specific demographic. The concept generated significant debate among the show's judges and contestants, particularly among the female judges, Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis. The discussion highlighted differing perspectives on the practicality and desirability of a home urinal. Leslie Davis, who has four men in her household, considered the potential convenience of such a fixture, suggesting it could be a practical addition depending on family composition. In contrast, Lyndsay Lamb expressed discomfort with the idea, stating she would not want to sit next to a urinal in a bathroom. This divergence of opinion underscores the subjective nature of luxury and convenience in home design. The article delves into the reasons why urinals are typically absent from residential bathrooms. Beyond taking up extra space, several functional and aesthetic concerns are raised. Unlike toilets, urinals do not fully flush, and despite rinse features, their cleanliness level can be perceived as lower. The constant open-air exposure of a urinal surface can lead to dried fluid and persistent odors, which are contained more effectively in a lidded toilet. The absence of a lid also means less containment of germs and unpleasant smells between cleanings. From a financial perspective, the cost of installing a urinal ranges from approximately $600 for basic models to $2,000 for higher-quality options. While a urinal might offer marginal water savings (about a gallon a day), the overall perceived benefits often do not outweigh the drawbacks for most homeowners. The article concludes by reiterating that while a home urinal may be considered taboo by many, it could represent a unique blend of convenience and style for a specific individual or household, particularly catering to the preferences of the man of the house. The segment on "Rock the Block" effectively brought this unconventional design choice into the spotlight, sparking conversations about traditional bathroom layouts versus personalized, unique installations. #LuxuryBathroom #HomeDesignTrends #HGTV #RockTheBlock #BathroomFixtures #InteriorDesignDebate #ResidentialUrinal #HomeImprovement

The Block 2022 Tree Change season culminated in the highly anticipated Living and Dining Room Reveal, where five teams presented their interpretations of country luxe design. The judges, Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer, and Neale Whitaker, evaluated each space based on aesthetics, functionality, and adherence to the overall theme. Rachel and Ryan from House 2 emerged as the winners with an impressive score of 29.5/30. Their country lodge-inspired living and dining area immediately impressed the judges, who praised the cohesive vision. Key elements included a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a large lounge, and a dining table strategically placed to offer winery views. Exposed wooden beams and an innovative Blackbutt ceiling contributed to a "minimalistic lodge" aesthetic that seamlessly integrated with the home's and region's character. Neale Whitaker specifically highlighted the lounge as "the best sofa ever on The Block," while the dining chairs were noted for their comfort. A significant feature of their winning room was the artwork "Numbuh-ba Jagun" (Back to Earth), a collaboration between Indigenous artist Brad Turner and abstract artist Cara Sanders, conveying a powerful message of reconciliation. Tom and Sarah-Jane from House 1 secured second place with 25.5/30, though their previous winning streak ended. Their living and dining area was designed to maximize the magnificent view, featuring a central fireplace for warmth and timber-clad beams to emphasize the room's grand scale. Despite Neale Whitaker's description of the space as "Magnificent!", the judges felt it lacked certain elements, suggesting the need for more furniture, rugs, and refined styling. They were also confused by the inclusion of a bench seat at the dining table, although the lighting plan received positive feedback. Their room included an artwork by Jen Shewring titled "Summer at Macedon Ranges" and a sideboard that complemented their kitchen stools, creating a sense of cohesion. Omar and Oz from House 5 also scored 25.5/30, tying for second place, but incurred a three-point deduction due to a "Piano-Gate" controversy where they paid less than 50% of the retail price for their baby grand piano. The judges were otherwise very impressed with their space, particularly the baby grand piano, which Darren Palmer described as taking the room to "another level." The room featured rattan-backed chairs, an ornate mirror, and large sofas, contributing to a grand and impressive ambiance that the judges believed would appeal to buyers. The artwork "Colours of the Outback" by Theo Papathomas was noted for beautifully tying the room's colors together. Dylan and Jenny from House 4 placed fourth with a score of 22/30. Their space was characterized as "classic" and "traditional," with the MyPlace automation panel being one of the few modern touches. The judges found the styling and furnishing choices too reminiscent of a country cottage rather than a luxury home, suggesting the need for larger furniture, especially a bigger chandelier, and a revised lighting plan that did not evoke a "7/11" atmosphere. The artwork "Macedon Ranges Autumna" by Jessie Rigby was a standout feature in their room. Ankur and Sharon from House 3 finished in fifth place with 19/30. Their living and dining area showcased large timber beams, antler lights, and a stone feature fireplace wall. However, the judges identified several issues, including the seating arrangement that resembled a "hotel lobby" according to Neale Whitaker, and the lack of grout in the stone fireplace, which Darren Palmer humorously compared to a "Flintstones fireplace." Shaynna Blaze also recommended painting the walls. The judges concluded that despite its potential, the room appeared rushed and constrained by budget limitations. A prominent artwork, "Love Full Bloom" by Jen Shewring, was highlighted as a magical piece in their design. The judges loved the Rinnai fireplace and the antler chandelier. The article concludes by inviting readers to explore the featured products from each couple's living and dining room reveals on The Block Shop website. #TheBlock2022 #LivingDiningRoom #RoomReveal #CountryLuxe #HomeInspiration #InteriorDesign #DesignTrends #RachelAndRyan #TheBlockShop

The blog post reviews the mezzanine ensuite room reveals from The Block 2024, featuring critiques and scores from the judges for five different couples. Each section details the specific design choices, highlighting both positive and negative feedback from judges Marty, Darren, and Shaynna. Maddy and Charlotte secured first place with a score of 27.5. The judges praised their well-designed and constructed ensuite, particularly noting the Mount Olive basin, bold Cosentino stone vanity, and high-quality workmanship. Darren admired their Beaumont tile choices, vanity, mirror, and fixtures from Reece, describing them as simple and stylish. While Marty questioned the placement of the toilet and a potentially too safe lighting plan, Shaynna defended their "Classic Simplicity" style. Ricky and Haydn placed second with a score of 25. Despite the small size of their bathroom, Shaynna noted that "tiny's not a bad thing." Darren appreciated the layout, the mustard basin with a terrazzo plug, the Rebels Mustard Structured Textured Handmade Tiles, the smart use of James Hardie panelling, and a horizontal towel rail. Shaynna liked the face-level storage but desired more sophisticated styling. The judges agreed the couple was finding their unique style, aligning with the Phillip Island theme. Mimi and Kristian shared third place with a score of 24.5. Their signature Porta Timber features, which had previously won praise, were deemed unsuccessful this week by Shaynna and Darren, who felt they were included for inclusion's sake and appeared "formulaic." Darren found the Kado Era vanity and Pill Sink too small and noticed an unleveled mirror. In contrast, Marty appreciated the Sand in My Shoe artwork, the small stool, and blue tiles, seeing them as consistent with the house's overall design rather than repetitive. Brad and Kylie also earned an equal third place with 24.5 points. Their dark and moody ensuite was well-received this time, with Darren stating it was exactly what he expected from them. The timber-look tiles and wall sconces complemented the Dekton Keryla and a "peach fuzz" pedestal basin. Marty believed the bathroom would photograph well for their Domain listing and attract a specific market. The Night Float Artwork was a highlight, although Shaynna pointed out missing grouting and caulking and desired more from the styling. Courtney and Grumpy came in fifth with a score of 24. Their striking and bold bathroom divided the judges. Shaynna was impressed by the combination of marble, tiles, and an ISSY Adorn double vanity. Marty, however, found the extensive use of tiles overwhelming and felt too much space was taken from other areas for insufficient benefit. Darren, while agreeing the layout with the toilet in the tallest part and shower in the lowest was imperfect and the tiles were borderline, ultimately found the room "gorgeous, dramatic and impactful" after initial reservations. #TheBlock2024 #RoomReveal #MezzanineEnsuite #BathroomDesign #InteriorDesign #HomeInspiration #DesignTrends #TheBlockShop #Renovation

This article provides a detailed review of the main bedroom room reveals from Week 5 of The Block 2024, highlighting the designs, styling choices, and judges' feedback for each of the five competing couples. The competition saw new couple Maddy and Charlotte settling in, with all teams facing budget constraints while aiming to impress with their 'main bedrooms'. Courtney and Grant secured first place with their 'Moditerranean' main bedroom. The judges, particularly Marty, praised it as the "most marketable room" of The Block 2024, citing its arched ceiling, hidden HomePro sheers, and bullnose plaster accents. The styling, featuring artwork, a Globe West Occasional chair, Kolbi Luna Moon side table, and Create Estate Fern bed, was highly regarded by Shaynna. The Kinsman wardrobe, with its shelving, stone, and leather-textured cabinetry, also received commendation for its luxury and market appeal. Kristian and Mimi tied for first place with a 'Coastal Holiday' themed room. Their design incorporated a raked ceiling with HomePro sheers, a Wave bedhead, Foundation bedbase, Dot ottoman from Steph and Gian’s new Japandi Estate collection, and Artist Lane artworks, including the Cape Woolamai Phillip Island piece. While the overall room was well-received, some imperfections were noted, such as unfinished paintwork, mismatched door handles, and a potentially jarring LED lighting choice near the Porta Timber feature. Despite these minor flaws, the judges considered it a strong contender. The Kinsman wardrobe, featuring Budino Walnut joinery, Hafele upgrades, drop-down hangers, leather boxes, and trouser and shoe racks, was deemed "luxury upon luxury" by Darren. Kylie and Brad achieved third place with a "classy and luxe" main bedroom that maintained Kylie’s signature dark and moody aesthetic. Marty admired its personality, and Shaynna lauded the Shou Sugi Ban feature wall with uplighting, burgundy accents, metallic Grafico ceiling, and Globe West furniture pieces including the Arthur console, Wyatt Milan bedside, and Bonnie Occasional chair. The room's functionality, including a Mitsubishi split-system, and adherence to feng shui principles were also praised. The wardrobe continued the luxurious theme with another Grafico ceiling and wall, a Wild Yarn Marley rug, and complementary panelling. The only critique was from Shaynna regarding the styling of ripped jean shorts, suggesting a more upscale choice would have been appropriate. Darren described the room as "like walking into a jewellery box." Maddy and Charlotte, the new couple, secured fourth place with an elevated neutral palette and floor-to-ceiling crushed linen sheers, moving away from the previous occupant's "Grandma Chic" style. Judges appreciated the Velux skylight and Hardie Groove feature wall, along with subtle decorative elements like the Bordeaux Candle and T. House Zoi bowl. While a good start, Shaynna suggested larger furniture, such as the Kave Home Luisa armchair and bedsides, would have enhanced the space. The Kinsman wardrobe was a hit, with Darren commending its on-trend colours and well-executed fittings. The judges acknowledged the challenges faced by the couple, given that three teams had worked on the room, and believed they were progressing in the right direction. Ricky and Haydn finished in fifth place. Their room initially impressed with Grafico wallpaper featuring custom palm trees, a custom ceiling and panelling, Bohteak Bora Bora lamps, and a single teak Branch Mirror. However, the unfinished state of the room became a significant point of concern. Marty questioned if the effort expended on the ceiling led to a lack of time for completion. Although the Kinsman walk-in wardrobe was complete and praised for its scalloped door profile and Brown Bronze handles, judges raised questions about carpeting the wardrobe area when the bedroom had floorboards and the placement of the door. Darren summarized their effort as an "unfinished symphony." #TheBlock2024 #RoomReveal #MainBedroom #HomeDesign #InteriorStyling #CoastalHolidayDesign #ModiterraneanStyle #LuxuryInteriors #RenovationCompetition
