Coastal Farmhouse

Escape the city to Oak and Orange's Coastal Farmhouse: A 5-bed, 3-bath dream home in a peaceful serenading setting.

As part of their Dream Home renovation series, the Oak and Orange design duo Heather and Sarah have gone bigger, bolder and braver with the design of House 7 named ‘The Coastal Farmhouse’. Located on an 890sqm corner block, Heather and Sarah have created a dream home that is sure to impress. Drawing on their experience as builder's wives, they have incorporated the latest design trends and innovations to create a space that is a perfect fusion of aesthetics and function. One of the standout features of the Coastal Farmhouse is the use of a light color palette. Whites, sage greens, and earthy tones create an inviting, light-filled space that is both calming and serene.

Beautiful and Unique Atmosphere
The flow of the color palette throughout the house is particularly evident in the kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. The green panels of drawers and cabinetry, along with the wooden floorboards, create a beautiful and unique atmosphere. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a benchtop that not only ties everything together but also functions as a hidden bar and storage nook, helping to keep the bench space free of clutter.

Additionally, Hettich’s WingLine L folding door system has been creatively integrated into the design to provide functional spaces while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. The system is situated behind the benchtop, allowing for practical storage solutions without compromising the kitchen’s overall design.

Innovative and Clever
The Coastal Farmhouse boasts an innovative laundry room that doubles as a mud room, providing a small space for removing footwear and outer garments before entering the house. With its ample storage options in the form of cabinets and drawers, this space offers a clever solution to keeping the home tidy and organised.

Innovative and Practical Design
The laundry room also includes pull-out laundry hampers, which are a great addition to any laundry room. These hampers also utilise InnoTech Atira with included pull-out baskets, making it easier for the lucky homeowners of this coastal home to sort their laundry and keep the room clutter-free. Overall, the Coastal Farmhouse’s laundry room is a testament to innovative and practical design.

Perfect Organisation
One of the standout features of this room is the InnoTech Atira drawers located at the bottom, which also serves as a bench. These drawers are easy to open and have a soft-closing mechanism, making them perfect for organised shoe storage, ensuring that shoes are neatly stored away.
