When I was completing my certification in Interior Design, I never thought about using concrete in my design choices.  Over the past year though, I have been enamoured with all of the design portfolios that I have seen that predominately feature concrete as part of the overall design.  When I first saw today’s Inspiring Interior, it immediately captured a piece of my design loving heart.

Located in Victoria Australia, the designers received a commendation from the Victorian Architecture Awards (2016) for this carefully crafted piece of architecture.  The timber, brass and gold details add a level of warmth and sophistication while the white marble contrasts beautifully with the concrete to produce a stunning yet laid back family home. Light filled and spacious, the lines between indoors and outdoors are blurred creating a calming yet charming space. The entire home is gorgeous, but I am obsessed with the kitchen in particular.  The combination of the statement marble backsplash and concrete island with the black cabinetry and appliances is sheer perfection.  The modern gold hood and lights help to elevate this space to a level of creativity I rarely see.  It is the perfect place to inspire and encourage creative and delicious new recipes.
