Casa Verde, Bentleigh

Set in the heart of Bentleigh, this renovation brings a fresh, natural warmth to a dated home. The kitchen now features rich walnut cabinetry, green handmade tiles, and herringbone timber floors. The bathroom was reimagined into a sleek, floating vanity—blending earthy tones with timeless simplicity.

Kitchen, Laundry & Colour Scheme

The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with a practical L-shaped layout and a central island bench, offering ample workspace and integrated storage. Dark walnut cabinetry brings vertical emphasis and elegance, paired with stainless steel hardware for a subtle contemporary edge. The island features drawers, cupboards and a casual bar zone, making it both functional and inviting. Aged green mosaic tiles add depth and character, balanced by a crisp white stone benchtop that nods to retro-modern styling.

The Toorak Residence bathroom embraces a philosophy of refined minimalism, where natural materials and pure geometry create a serene retreat. The seamless blend of marble, soft-toned tiles, and curved glazing brings a sense of harmony and flow, while subtle lighting enhances intimacy and calm. Every element—from the sculptural freestanding bath to the understated fixtures—has been considered to balance function with atmosphere, resulting in a space that feels both grounded and elevated, private yet connected to its natural surroundings.

The laundry continues the walnut and green mosaic palette, ensuring visual cohesion across utility areas. Tall cabinetry accommodates both linen and pantry storage, blending everyday practicality with a refined, unified aesthetic.
A warm-toned colour scheme runs throughout the home, reinforcing its vintage-inspired direction. Walls are finished in a soft cream blend, while crisp white window and door frames highlight architectural detailing. A feature door in the central corridor bright green with art glass echoes the kitchen’s mosaic tones, adding vibrancy and visual interest.

Gunmetal tapware adds subtle contrast, and warm-toned tiling across floors and walls brings a sense of comfort and cohesion. Natural materials and soft forms come together to create a calm, understated elegance that suits everyday use and quiet retreat alike.

Across both wet areas, the bathroom design reflects a warm, tactile sensibility anchored by custom joinery and a cohesive material palette. Walnut timber veneer cabinetry with curved, textured door fronts introduces a sculptural softness, complemented by matching wall-mounted units that enhance vertical storage without compromising visual clarity. The vanities are paired with white integrated benchtop basins, offering a seamless, refined finish.
