Enhancing the design features

The couple’s home is a modern design with an exterior of white brick and timber cladding and striking black joinery. Large stacker doors in the downstairs living area maximise the sunlight and create seamless flow onto the deck and into the lavender-edged garden beyond.

The light, airy interior is enhanced by a light timber look in flooring, kitchen cabinetry and occasional furniture. There are also accents of warm brass in drawer handles, tapware and feature lights. A seasoned interior specialist, Quinn was quick to spot how the timber-edged design of PDL Iconic Essence would add to their home. “It’s so beautiful. I loved how slim it was, and the curve, because we’ve got lots of curves in the house. And its timber feature matches our aesthetic.”

The perfect finishing touch

The couple added USB-C Fast Chargers to bedside power points for convenience and used Iconic pictograms to easily identify switch functions around the house. Andrew says the Essence range was the perfect finishing touch. “I think one of the best moments was when we installed the Iconic Essence cover plates in the kitchen and Quinn got to stand back and see that the design had come together well.”

Now that the electrician has installed the Iconic base plates around the home, the couple can also easily swap different covers on and off. The Iconic range is compatible with PDL’s Wiser smart home system too, so it was straightforward for him to add some smart home features to make the family’s daily life easier.

Family living made simpler

PDL Wiser is a wireless scalable smart home automation system that links to the Wiser app for easy control of lighting, blinds, plugged in devices, sensors and more. “Now we have lamps that we can control from our phones — it’s things that just make life so much easier,” says Ben. “Having the blinds on automation is a game changer!”

The design cohesion continues upstairs into the main family bathroom, where accent features are complemented by a stunning forest green tile feature wall. A Wiser Water Leakage Sensor has been included next to the bath, which can send an alert to their app to let them know if it detects water on the floor.

A year on and the family still love living in their home. “It’s beautiful, the details are right on point for us,” says Quinn.
