Four renowned creatives aim to inspire Aussie homes
Influenced by the latest design trends around the world, decorative surfaces design company Laminex is introducing the ‘Inspired By’ series following a partnership with four renowned Australian creatives.
Communications marketing manager Susan Foley believes it is time to rethink design. “What it is, how it works and the role it plays in our lives,” she says. “Just as form follows function, we believe good design enables good living and this is something we want to help every Australian achieve.
“By combining colour, shape and texture, you can create spaces that are as individual as your customers.
“The images created with the four muses provide homeowners, designers and builders even more design inspiration when creating long-lasting, stylish interiors for everyday use,” she adds.
Design guru and entrepreneur Chyka Keebaugh (of the Real Housewives of Melbourne fame) inspired the Classic kitchen and the result is a warm and timeless space that reflects her style.
Award-winning pastry chef at the Shangri-La, Anna Polyviou, has unbeatable creative flair and truly represents what ‘Inner Urban’ means to Laminex says Foley, “many styles blended into one from unstructured, to old school yet contemporary and very inner city”.
Steve Cordony is an interior and event stylist, and style director at-large for Belle magazine. “Mineral’ is a style that reflects those who not only live and breathe design, but want to make a strong statement also―and that sums up Steve perfectly.”
Owner and designer of the fashion label búl, Virginia Martin, reflects ‘Scandinavian’. “Designing simplistic, timeless pieces that subtly incorporate distinctive shapes and colour, Virginia truly represents the theme―one in which simplicity is highlighted by its core palette but also accented by muted pastel touches and geometric patterns.”
The other eight styles Laminex has identified include Glamour, Natural, Modern & Co, Noir, Industrial, Coastal, Vintage and Zen.
