Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 May 08, 2009 10:36 pm Was looking through realestate.com.au and came across this house - http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rs ... 1241786004 Is their design and colours partially minimalist? I'm not sure if it is or not, but they have fully white walls, fluorescent downlights and lack of furniture. I like the house- looks pretty stylish! The facade reminds me of a Big M house - maybe it is? Or could it be a PD H@milton or someother? What do you think? Built the Atlantique 37 Mk2 with Carlisle Homes - WE'RE IN!!

I think minimalist is more neutral schemes too... lotsa white! Annie A thankful person is a happy person.

It does look like that is what they are aiming for though. I think the kitchen in this one is very minimalist. http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rs ... 1241790095 Custom build!

I'm not sure about minimalist.. I think i may agree that its just a work in progess.. I honestly don't think i could ever do orange and green. That is way to brave for me, but its turned out well! I am in awe of the stacked stone feature wall with the fishtank though.. nice! Building with PD - Regent 23 Cascades on Clyde Estate HomeOne Building Thread - PCI Completed - 28th August.

Annie Exactly what I was thinking, Annie! Looks to me like they've hired furniture for some rooms and stuck with their own crappy stuff in others. I'm not being critical - we have crappy furniture too. But having nice furniture and matching accessories in certain rooms only accentuates the crappiness of the other rooms. It looks like a Big M house - there's a very similar one near us. Definitely not PD. Gee, the built-in fishtank was a brave move. Although it looks good, I think it limits the appeal. It would put me off as a buyer anyway.
