▲ VERANDA The wraparound veranda painted in deep blue helps
set the tone for the interior and creates nooks for all family members
to retreat to. “Putting this mosquito net over there and pushing the
bench up against the wall was a really great use of space,” says Jamie. >▲ KITCHEN The dark-blue island bench is a highlight of the light-
filled kitchen, allowing plenty of space for the family to gather
for informal meals. The ‘Paris’ bar stools by Vorsen echo the Hamptons
theme. Judge Jamie applauded the choice to use woven exterior fabric
on the stools. “It was all about bringing the outside in,” he explains.FLOORING

THE TAKE-OUT
Lighting is key when creating
the perfect dining space. This
area is flooded with natural
light during the day, courtesy
of the large windows, while
the ‘Silhouette’ blinds from
Luxaflex can be closed
in the evenings to create
an intimate, cosy setting.
According to judge Jamie
Durie, the blinds, made
of sheer panels that allow
light through when needed,
were a highlight: they can
look like shutters when closed,
and they keep the heat and
provide privacy.let there be light
