Art & Matilda’s Forever Home

When Art and Matilda Green set out to transform their 1990s Warkworth house into a warm, functional forever home, LaBella Kitchens designer Louise Robertson turned to VidaSpace to help bring the vision to life. The kitchen and laundry were among the biggest changes in the renovation – spaces that needed to work hard for a busy household of five while still feeling considered and personal.

Louise paired a curved kitchen island and Beverly Rose marble benchtop with cabinetry that could stand up to everyday family life. For the laundry, the brief called for something equally durable but with more warmth and personality, tying into the pink tones and copper accents running through the space.

We partnered with LaBella Kitchens to supply our newly released ALT™ laminate panels in two finishes: MasterOak Natural Copper in the kitchen, and SolidVelvet Terracotta in the laundry.

"VidaSpace had just launched their ALT™ SolidVelvet range in a beautiful terracotta colour. It was perfect in terms of both tone and durability. As soon as I received the sample, I dropped it off, and they loved it. The ultra-matte, silky-smooth finish brings a softness to the space, while offering impressive durability, is scratch-resistant, UV-stable and designed to handle everyday wear." – Louise Robertson, LaBella Kitchens

The finished home reflects that balance of style and practicality throughout – a renovation the Greens describe as warm, fresh, and full of little moments of surprise and delight.
