THE 'UNIVERSAL' GO-TO COLOUR COMBO FROM OAK & ORANGE
Just like the looks-good-on-everyone lipstick shade, we have a magical colour combination that works for any home style.Â
Plus, itâs trendless and timeless.
Whether your style is coastal or farmhouse, modern or Mediterranean, Palm Springs or country there are certain tones, colours and materials that will never go out of style.
Not only do they suit all of the above home styles, they can be integrated into your style of home to ensure your abode is still lookinâ good 10 years from now.
Look no further. They are:
WHITES
GREYS
NEUTRALS
AND TIMBER
Â
Remember, you donât need to play it safe or be boring!
The variety and combinations within this palette are practically endless.
Weâll show you how we incorporated these tones and materials to create our coastal luxe home.
WHITE
A BRIGHT, ‘BLANC’ CANVASÂ
We say, âWhen in doubt, paint it whiteâ so many times, it should be tattooed onto us. In our coastal luxe build, weâve chosen white very liberally. Itâs the perfect base for the accent colours, and it completely opens up the space and lets dreamy natural light bounce around.
Spot this shade:
The windows, doors, internal walls are painted in Taubmans âCotton SheetsâÂ
Kitchen cabinetry is White Linen by Laminex.
Window furnishings sheers and roller blinds from Home Blinds Australia.
GREYS
MORE GLORIOUS THAN GLOOMY
Grey is a versatile tone we always come back to. Thereâs so many undertones and hues, weâre actually never bored of the ways we can play with the colour combos. In our own home we incorporate grey through our polished concrete floors, but for our coastal luxe home we had a little more fun.
SPOT THIS SHADE:
Our Marble look engineered Caesarstone bench top in London Grey.
Laminex bench top Carrara Bianco Natural Finish
Pot by Flower Power.
Driveway French grey.
Marble coffee and side table hired from our good friends at Huntley and Co.
NEUTRALS
THE ULTIMATE COLOUR CHAMELEON
We never shade neutrals here! What they lack in colour, they definitely make up for in versatility. Itâs hard to mismatch a colour that âtechnicallyâ isnât a colour!
Contrary to popular belief, a dreamy bedroom or a blissful bathroom isnât achieved by going all-out-white (hello, clinical) – itâs achieved through the incorporation of soft neutrals that give that calm, serene and easy-on-the-eyes vibe.
SPOT THIS SHADE:
Bathroom floor and wall tiles from Color Tile
Carpet colour. Kensington 230 Amulet Stipple Godfrey Hirst
Rugs.
Bedroom linen.

TIMBER
BEAUTIFUL, BY NATURE
In a modern world filled with technology and digitised living, isnât it wonderful to feel organic textures under your feet?!
Timber is timeless (and weâve seen our fair share of restoration videos to attest to this), and in our coastal luxe home, is the natural element that ties the whole colour palette together. Thereâs so many wood tones and textures to choose from – you canât go wrong.
Spot this shade:
Godfrey Hirst vinyl flooring Laminate classic oak.
Bathroom cabinetry.
Timber bench on the porch.
Timber Dining table from Lounge Lovers.
Timber bar stools from Life Interiors.
Along with loads of styling items through the home.
