The Design House NQ

At Design House NQ, we ditch the "one-size-fits-all" approach & create kitchens that fit YOU & your unique space.

But before you demo your walls, consider these key factors:

- Walls & doorways influence your options - galley, L-shaped, or U-shaped? We'll help you find the perfect fit!

- Islands offer space & seating, but consider walk-around room!

- Existing plumbing might affect your sink & fridge placement, but don't worry - rerouting options are on the table!

Staircases are more than just a way to get from one floor to the next. They're a design element with the power to transform your home's flow and aesthetic.

Our approach considers functionality, traffic flow, and visual impact to create staircases that are as beautiful as they are practical.

To get you started on crafting your dream kitchen, we recommend creating a wish list that reflects your personal needs and cooking style.

Here are some inspiring features to consider for your kitchen wish list:

The Centerpiece Island: Imagine a large island for prepping, dining, and storage.

Storage, Storage, Storage: Ample storage is key to a kitchen that feels organized and serene.

Servery Window for Easy Entertaining: Create a seamless flow between your kitchen and entertaining space with a servery window. This allows you to easily pass dishes and drinks to guests without interrupting the flow of conversation.

Embrace the Natural Light: North Queensland is known for its sunshine, so take advantage of it!

A Walk-In Pantry for Everything: Having a dedicated walk-in pantry provides the ultimate storage solution. Here you can store all your kitchen essentials, from bulk groceries to seasonal appliances, keeping your main kitchen clean and clutter-free.

Remember, this is just a starting point! We encourage you to brainstorm your own personal must-haves and discuss them with us. Together, we can create a layout that is functional for your day-to-day and reflects your unique style.

A thoughtfully designed pool area can be an extension of your living space, offering a place to relax, unwind, and entertain. Let's dive into some key ideas for crafting your perfect backyard oasis:

1. Make a Splash with Design:
Explore a variety of pool shapes and styles to match your backyard's features and your personal taste. Geometric shapes like circles or squares can add a contemporary touch, while a beach entry pool with a gentle slope is perfect for families with young children.

2. Light Up the Night:
Extend the enjoyment of your pool area into the evenings with strategic outdoor lighting. Underwater lights make your pool sparkle at night, while path lights and strategically placed spotlights create ambiance.

3. Location, Location, Location:
Consider not just proximity to your house for easy access, but also how the pool area will integrate with your existing outdoor living spaces. Create a cohesive indoor-outdoor flow by incorporating design elements like similar pavers or extending your patio decking around the pool. This will visually connect the spaces and encourage seamless movement between them.

What's your dream pool area feature?

Louvre Windows: Louvres feature horizontal blades that can be angled to control airflow and light.

Creating accessible housing means prioritizing inclusivity and functionality for all. From wheelchair ramps to wider doorways, incorporating universal design principles ensures adaptability and convenience, promoting independence and enhancing the quality of life for residents of all abilities. Functional kitchens and bathrooms are essential components, featuring grabrails and open benches to accommodate mobility aids and promote ease of use.

Collaborating with Design House NQ, we can assist you in creating a more inclusive future through innovative design solutions.

Every kitchen deserves to be a beautiful and functional space, but the ideal layout depends heavily on your unique floor plan. Here at Design House NQ, we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We work with YOU to create a dream kitchen that seamlessly integrates with your existing layout.

Considering a Kitchen Refresh? Here are Key Factors to Consider:

- Walls & Layout: Your existing walls and doorways will dictate the possible layouts – galley, L-shaped, U-shaped?

- Connecting Your Kitchen: Think beyond the kitchen itself! Would you like easy access from your garage for groceries? Perhaps you dream of a seamless connection between your laundry and pantry for ultimate functionality? Let us know your vision and we’ll design a layout that reflects your lifestyle.

- Pantry Power: Food Storage vs. Appliance Haven?This is a great opportunity to consider your needs! Do you crave a dedicated space for all your food and snacks? Or perhaps a walk-in pantry with an appliance bench for your toaster, blender, and air fryer sounds more appealing? Think about how you cook and what would be most functional for you.

- Island Dreams? Center islands offer valuable additional workspace and seating, but they require adequate walk-around space to avoid feeling cramped.

- Plumbing Considerations: The location of existing plumbing fixtures (sink, dishwasher) can influence the optimal placement of your sink and plumbed fridge. Don’t worry, we’ll work with you to explore rerouting possibilities if needed!

Embarking on a renovation or new build is an exciting adventure, but it can also feel overwhelming. Here at Design House NQ, we believe the key to a successful project lies in clarity and communication. That's why we highly recommend creating a wish list before we delve into the design phase. This helps prioritize what matters most to YOU, ensuring your dream home aligns with your budget and lifestyle.

So, grab a pen and paper (or your favorite note-taking app) and brainstorm your top 5 renovation must-haves! Here are some ideas to get you started:

Indoor-Outdoor Flow: North Queensland boasts beautiful weather, so blurring the lines between your indoor and outdoor spaces might be high on your list. Imagine seamless transitions to a patio for entertaining, or a tranquil sunny space for morning coffee.

A Statement Kitchen: The heart of the home deserves special attention! Do you crave a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, or is a sleek, minimalist design more your style?

The Perfect Sanctuary: Your master bedroom should be a haven of relaxation. Consider features like a luxurious ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe, or even a private balcony for enjoying a gorgeous sunset.

Maximized Storage: Let's face it, life comes with stuff! Creating a functional and stylish storage solution is key to maintaining a clutter-free and organized home. Think built-in cabinetry or a walk in linen cupboard.

Multifunctional Spaces: Modern living often demands flexibility. Maybe you need a guest room that doubles as a home office, or a play area for the kids that can be easily transformed into a media room for movie nights.

Remember, your wish list is a dynamic document! It's a jumping-off point for Nathan to collaborate with you and turn your vision into reality. Once you have your top 5 priorities in mind, it becomes easier to navigate budgetary constraints or spatial limitations. We can help you prioritize your must-haves and explore creative solutions if compromises need to be made. Ultimately, your wish list ensures we're all on the same page, creating a space that reflects your needs!

We understand the need to deliver tailored solutions for professional spaces, from dynamic office environments to function-driven warehouses.

Our commitment to the best result is reflected in our meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each commercial space we design not only looks impressive but also aligns seamlessly with your budget and functional requirements. Our goal is to foster productivity, efficiency, and success.

In tropical North Queensland's glorious weather, you deserve outdoor areas designed for relaxation and entertainment!

We excel in creating custom living spaces that effortlessly merge indoor comfort with our stunning outdoor surrounds. Let us help you optimize your home for endless enjoyment throughout the year.

We love seeing beautiful homes come to life from our plans. 😍 This build will be by Pro-View Homes Pty Ltd!

We believe in embracing the unique shape and style of each lot to craft a house plan that feels truly bespoke. From working with the contours of the land to incorporating architectural elements that resonate with the surrounding environment, every detail is thoughtfully considered. Our goal is to create a home that not only reflects your individuality but also maximizes functionality and comfort.

In today's busy lifestyles, we find our clients are searching for a way to create a serene sanctuary to escape to at the end of the day. It all
begins with thoughtful design.

Here are three key ideas to consider for crafting a tranquil master bedroom and ensuite retreat:

1. Create a private space: Consider positioning the master bedroom in a separate wing or secluded corner of your home, away
from high-traffic areas and noise. This dedicated space offers privacy and tranquility, allowing you to escape and unwind without
distractions.

2. Embrace an open plan concept: Elevate your ensuite to a luxurious retreat by integrating an open-concept layout, reminiscent of upscale hotels. Incorporate features such as large
walk-in showers or a free-standing bath as the ultimate luxury features, creating a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own
home.

3. Reduce clutter with clever planning: Create a spa-like oasis by utilizing clever storage solutions to reduce clutter and maintain a
clean, calm atmosphere. Incorporate mirror cabinets, clever walk in robes, and floating vanities to keep essentials neatly organized
and out of sight, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in relaxation and rejuvenation.

By integrating these layout design strategies into your master
bedroom and ensuite, you can cultivate a sanctuary-like atmosphere that promotes relaxation from the second you walk
into your room.

What's your must-have for your own bedroom?
