One of our favourite projects to date is this luxury Coastal Hamptons unit renovation, perfectly positioned on the beachfront at Happy Valley, Caloundra.

The apartment was in need of a full transformation, and the result is a blend of relaxed holiday vibes and elevated design. Holiday homes are often among the most exciting to renovate, as clients tend to approach the process with a more open mind- willing to explore bolder colours, richer textures, and standout design choices.

For this project, we drew inspiration directly from the landscape outside, bringing in the soft pastel blues, gentle greens, and floaty whites of the ocean and sky to enhance that magical “holiday by the sea” atmosphere.

To create a sense of serenity and softness, we layered sheer, billowing curtains with custom fabrics and upholstery. White played a starring role- used throughout the walls (Casper White Quarter), VJ panelling, cabinetry, and window treatments—to create a crisp, clean backdrop. This foundation was warmed up with layers of oatmeal tones, timber elements, and soft neutrals.

Touches of gold in the lighting fixtures and styling accessories added a hint of glamour and refinement, while carefully selected furniture, bespoke lighting, and plush soft furnishings elevated the space to a new level of luxury.

We affectionately named this our Coastal Luxe project—it beautifully balances beachy charm with an upscale, curated finish. It truly was a dream project for everyone involved.

Living

 

The living room has been designed to invite the coastal colours found outside, inside. The custom-upholstered lounge, which injects a large dose of powder blue, recedes enough to allow the beachfront views to be the focus. The rest of the room is comprised mainly of whites, timbers and natural tones. The gorgeous mirrors reflect the abundance of natural light and the use of symmetry provides an element of formality.

 

 

Kitchen & Dining

 

The kitchen and dining zone is generally the heart of the home, and this holiday home-away-from-home is no exception! The two pack kitchen island was topped with 20mm stone in Caesarstone ‘Snow‘. The built in breakfast nook by the dining table provides extra seating and storage, and has become a casual, inviting extension of the kitchen. The electric fireplace from Dimplex was built into the custom built tower and clad in Easycraft VJ Panels. The VJ Panels add texture and character, without visually crowding the compact space. The flooring from National Tiles was a warm, soft and durable flooring choice with enough variation in the timber to work with all the different timber furniture pieces throughout the room.

 

 

Girls’ Bedroom & Main Bathroom

 

 

The girls’ bedroom is a holiday haven of pastels, whites and dreamy clouds. The silvery ‘Cumulus’ wallpaper reflects light and adds whimsy. The custom upholstered bedheads repeat the seafoam colour palette, with the strength of the blue in the feature cushions providing balance.

The main bathroom largely kept to a soft, warm white and neutral backdrop, allowing the showstopping feature vanity to shine. The Paloma aqua tile has a beautiful tonal colour variation which elevates the look. Traditional style plumbing fixtures add character and classic luxury, and the shine of the chrome finish contributes to the overall glistening, dazzling effect. The back-to-wall bath from Reece was selected to give the illusion of a freestanding tub as well as free up space in this tight bathroom.

 

Master Bedroom & Ensuite

 

 

The master bedroom is the ultimate dreamy, coastal bedroom. Keeping to an all-white base with layers of oatmeal was the key to creating a serene, calming bedroom. The only pop of colour is the soft minty seafoam in the cushions and chunky throw, which ties in with the beautiful bathroom feature tile. The vintage washed linen white coverlet is the perfect fabric to sleep under after a long day at the beach. A corner is filled with a leaner mirror framed by driftwood, a practical way to fill the space and reflect more natural light.

The ensuite vanity wall was the perfect location for another feature tile. The little peek of colour seen from the bedroom is just perfect. Being natural stone too it’s only a relatively small area to be resealed and maintained. As with the main bathroom, the Ming tile has a natural colour variation throughout, creating a wonderful depth and natural feel.
