“It’s absolutely beautiful – great application, great thinking,” said Darren Palmer.
Britt and Taz took the controversial step of creating a wellness room instead of a rumpus room. The focus was on creating a retreat that offered calmness and tranquillity, with the WA couple choosing a muted palette of layered whites for the room, anchored by a pale timber floor.
Soft sheer curtains wrapped the room from floor to ceiling, topped with billowing sheers above and the inclusion of a bar fridge for refreshments and a television flanked by two full-length arched mirrors.
It was an elegant response to a wellness aesthetic. All the accessories were in white, including two Reformer Pilates machines, a yoga mat, weights and ball, creating a Zen-like atmosphere.
Britt and Taz designed the room with their landscaping plan in mind, where they hope to include a spa, sauna and ice bath just outside the room for a complete experience.
Reformer Pilates is a very popular fitness trend, offering low-impact exercise that combines strength and flexibility training. While classes can be expensive, an at-home solution provides an affordable way to enjoy a workout.
The paint colour that Britt and Taz used in their rumpus room was ‘Colorbond Paperbark’.
