We first fell in love with Kyal and Kara when they appeared on The Block and have loved following their progress. Now we watch them undertake their first knock-down rebuild with the fabulous Blue Lagoon beachside family home. With their living, dining and kitchen space, Kyal and Kara have created a true heart of the home. Not only is this a space for family and friends to hang out, it also connects to every other area in the home. This fantastic open plan area screams both functionality and design – so what better addition than motorised curtains! The entire kitchen was designed around multi-tasking, and now with just the press of a button (or a quick “Hey Google”), you can be preparing dinner and close the curtains without taking a single step.

The key to creating a sense of continuity throughout a home is to choose a theme and stick to it – but this doesn’t have to mean creating a series of identical spaces. Kyal and Kara’s Australian coastal meets Mediterranean villa theme allows for plenty of different colours and textures, that play out differently in different spaces but with a few key elements connecting them – here this means our sheer designer curtains from the Allusion range in Marzipan in most, but not all, rooms.

Kara works her design magic to make them all feel connected to each other and the rest of the house.

Now we watch them undertake their first knock-down rebuild with the fabulous Blue Lagoon beachside family home. Every family home needs a luxurious parents retreat, so Kyal and Kara have turned the master bedroom into an oasis of their own. Kyal and Kara get the best of both worlds with double curtains for total control over light and privacy in their bedroom. Blockout curtains in Antsey oyster stone, block out as much light as possible for long weekend lie-ins, while sheer curtains in Alexandra smoke provide a subtle diffused light that gently accentuates the other textures in the room and providing the perfect match for this coastal colour scheme.
