| Real homes: Pool boss’s eclectic Paddington abode Posted: 15 Nov 2021 04:00 PM PST Remonda Martinez makes no apologies for her quirky and bold interior style. “It speaks volumes about my taste and personality. I would say that my style is chic, contemporary and serene. My humble abode mirrors this as it incorporates lush greenery, vibrant fixtures and pops of colour.”   Situated in Sydney’s Paddington, Remonda, CEO of Blue Haven Pools, her partner and three teenagers moved here five years ago. Inside, the home is an eclectic mix of print and colour, signalling decadent Italian influences. The home was revamped in collaboration with local architect Luigi Rosselli.  It has a European aesthetic with a touch of modern Australia, especially where the indoors truly meets the outdoors with open-plan living and (of course!) a pool. Remonda hopes her yard is a testament to the impact of small pools in inner-city spaces, creating a private oasis amidst the bustle.  Remonda chose Paddington for its rich history, vibrancy, and proximity to bars, cafes, parks, restaurants and quality schools. “I saw the potential and decided to add my own stamp to it,” she says. “With designing pools as my job and making sure they integrate well with a home, I have developed an eye for detail and exquisite taste.”  She doesn’t have time for people who say her style is too much. “If the person is an expert in design, I'd love to know their thoughts, but I decide on my own. At the end of the day, I'm about being authentic and making sure that the design of my space works well with my everyday life.” Remonda says having a backyard pool will serve a family in more ways than one. “For me, it's a sanctuary where I can relax. It's also the perfect addition to my entertaining space, not only for big family celebrations but also for laidback Sunday afternoons.”  She really enjoys making her house a home, saying design has always been part of who she is. Working in the traditionally male-dominated pool industry, Remonda says she has something different to offer. “I think men prioritise functionality whilst women prioritise creating harmony. We want to find that perfect balance between aesthetic and functionality. This mindset allows us more freedom and creativity in exploring other options and angles.”  Waterproof wallpaper the star in interior designer’s bold bathroom It’s a myth that interior designers live in perfect homes, and Donna Allen waited a long 15 years to get her dream bathroom renovation, complete with a bold waterproof wallpaper!…  Inside Sydney Swans co-captain’s stylish new duplex abode Home to the co-caption of the Sydney Swans AFL team Luke Parker, and his partner Kate Lawrence, this new duplex build is situated in the city's eastern suburbs.

| Popular New York paint brand launches in Australia Posted: 15 Nov 2021 12:00 PM PST Founded in New York in 1883, the leading US paint brand Benjamin Moore has just arrived in Australia and with more than 3,500 colours to choose from, the range has something for every taste and interior style.  "Benjamin Moore recognises Australia's passion for renovation and is excited to provide homeowners, interior decorators and painters with exceptional paints in unique and unmatchable colours," says Brian Hamilton, general manager of Tenaru, the Australian distributor. Interestingly, the company uses its own proprietary colourants in manufacturing which means that they can never be matched by other brands.  "The Benjamin Moore difference is its quality ingredients, process and Gennex colour technology, which deliver truer colours, a long-lasting result, and reduces the need to repaint over time," says Brian.  In other news for the brand, it recently announced its Colour of the Year alongside a 2022 Colour Trends palette that draws inspiration from flowers. The Colour of the Year, October Mist 1945, is a gentle sage green that is complemented by the rest of the trends palette that includes a variety of tranquil shades including lilac, linen and yellow.  Different flowers and their green stems were explored, when coming up with the latest palette. "By using greens as connecter colours, homeowners and interior decorators can be creative with colour to bring an overall colour scheme together.”  Currently available to buy online only.
