The project showcases the seamless blend of traditional charm and modern aspects in a Colonial style bungalow renovation. The clients' vision to focus on the traditional style came to life with a new kitchen featuring a striking combination of a new benchtop, bronze handles, a sink mixer, and cabinet fronts, complemented by textured glazed subway tiles and bronze button mosaics. The industrial-style light fittings add a contemporary edge, while enhanced door hardware enhances the traditional feel. 

To create a cohesive look, the laundry received a similar upgrade, ensuring every detail exudes timeless appeal. A decorative dark blue wallpaper at the end of the hallway visually elevates the space, creating the illusion of a shorter area. The en-suite continues the theme with traditional-look tiles, bronze tapware, and a bold black and white colour scheme. Experience the perfect harmony of traditional elegance and modern upgrades in this stunning project that preserves the character of the bungalow while incorporating modern elements.
