Moroccan Tile Panels

We’ve always had a deep love for Moroccan Zellige and Bejmat tiles, but recently, we were introduced to another level of Moroccan tile royalty: Moroccan panels. When we tell you, our jaws hit the floor, they seriously could have caused an earthquake! No exaggeration.

Made entirely by hand, each piece is meticulously glazed, hand-chipped and pre-assembled with an epoxy resin for quick and easy installation. The result you’re left with is an incredible patterned panel with all the texture, variation, and colour you could ask for. Moroccan tile panels are perfect for use on kitchen splashbacks, counters, bathroom floors, walls, or hearths.

Sustainable Grout

Unlike most cement-based grouts on the market, Fugabella Color by Kerakoll is made using a resin-cement. This means it has a lower absorption rate and achieves other performance characteristics such as high surface hardness and high resistance to the most common acidic substances. The resin component also helps eliminate the risk of efflorescence, shading, and provides long-term colour stability.

Formulated using a new mix of pure and natural binders, Fugabella is green building certified and features a very low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, which is safe for people’s health and in-turn has a lower environmental impact. Available in 50 impressive and decorative colours, Fugabella Color is the grout you need in your life.

Parquetry Flooring

We can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with parquetry every time one of our awesome clients select it for their project. Parquetry flooring achieves a timeless aesthetic with every application and will create a beautiful canvas for your furniture and interior furnishings to sing.

What we love most about parquetry flooring is its versatility – especially in porcelain form. Available in classic patterns and contemporary colours, parquetry-look porcelain tiles allow you to bring that style into wet areas and, in some cases, externally for a seamless and continuous look throughout your home.

Japanese Mosaics

Our new range of Japanese mosaics are full of history and character. The range, Mino, is named after the city they are manufactured. Mino is located within the Gifu prefecture, which has a long history of producing and innovating fine porcelain products.

A contemporary celebration of the manufacturing traditions and practices of this prefecture, our Japanese Mino mosaics are the perfect solution for anyone seeking an organic aesthetic in their home. In all honesty, they’ve made us want to tile every single surface of our own homes, they’re that perfect. Available in two distinctive styles – Linen and Crosshatch – and four colours each.

Vilo Sink Mixers

The Vilo Pull-Out Mixer, a true icon of the sink mixer realm, has new friends! And they’re glorious. Just launched by Oliveri, the Italian-made Vilo now comes in an additional four colours: Gold, Gunmetal, Natural Brass, and Satin Chrome & White.

Now more versatile than ever, these sink mixers will complement many different styles and colour schemes. We personally love the height of the Vilo and think it will make the perfect statement in your kitchen, pantry, or laundry space.

To say that we are grateful to have crossed paths with interior designer and colour-extraordinaire Julia Green would be a gross understatement. We were lucky enough to help Julia bring her home makeover to life by supplying her with tiles and tapware for her laundry and powder room. And we only have two words to describe the final spaces – holy smokes.

With a mix of Moroccan handmade tiles, raw brushed brass tapware, and patterned encaustic tiles, Julia’s humble abode captures everything we love about tiles and more. In just two spaces of the home, Julia has showed us just how epic a tiled wall or floor can look with the right amount of colour and confidence.

“I like an element of surprise in an interior. Something that will catch people off guard, make them think, and possibly push them out of their own comfort zone,” says Julia. With that in mind, it’s hard to ignore her love of colour and eclectic design aesthetic in these spaces.

Laundry Goals

For the love of Morocco

In what is quite possibly the most epic laundry we’ve ever seen, Julia took one look at our Moroccan handmade tiles and knew they were the ones for her. Spanning from the benchtop to the ceiling, the imperfect sizes, surfaces, and sage glaze on the handmade tiles bring a raw perfection to the space. As Julia explains, her love for Morocco made the decision even easier.

“I have a strong affiliation with Morocco and take guests there twice a year on design tours. It’s like a second home. So, it only felt right to put those handmade tiles in. Those tiles are one of my very favourite things in my whole house!” she says.

Following that same Moroccan, eclectic vibe in the powder room, Julia selected a green-hued patterned encaustic tile for the floor. While only a small space, the feature floor screams, ‘YES, I’m here!’ and we love it. It’s bold, colourful, and proves the days of mundane powder rooms are forever in the past.

Timeless tapware to match

Just as important as the tile selection for these spaces was the tapware. Knowing this, we introduced Julia to Faucet Strommen. As a locally manufactured product brimming with customisation possibilities, Faucet Strommen offered the best in quality, finishes, and service.

“I hadn’t heard of Faucet Strommen before this, but I instantly loved what I saw. Then, when I found out they were local manufacturers right here in our own state, I loved them even more!” she says.

In the end, the perfect range and finish for Julia’s home was the slim, Pegasi M range in raw brushed brass. Striking the perfect balance between contemporary design and an ageless finish, the Australian made product is right at home here. Designed to naturally patina over time, the raw brushed brass brings a refined element to the space and will remain timeless.

Local suppliers create success

Reflecting on her home makeover experience, Julia credits its success to the local suppliers and trades working on the project.

“Finding the right suppliers and trades was crucial and was a big part of our success. Every part of the process involved local suppliers and trades and now I feel like I have a fab team to call on for all parts of the process,” she says.

The final spaces are not only testament to the quality of suppliers and trades on the project, but also to Julia’s tenacious eye for design and confident use of colour.
