Love Shack TV

A month ago, the Luxaflex team joined forces with Bec, George and their new baby Archie from the Block to transform a humble 1970's shack. The 6 part series followed the challenges of renovating a beach front property in Tasmania with the hopes of maximising the space and making this renovator's delight their holiday home or 'love shack'. 


Bec had a vision to create a place that was both inviting and restful, and inspired by the coastal beauty surrounding the property. The colour palette was a mixture of greys, indigo and greens, where the soft furnishings chosen were a wonderful array of wools, linens and furs.

 

With the help of Luxaflex Gallery dealer Fabrique, Bec and George found the perfect window covering for the theming of the Love Shack. Luxaflex Silhouette Shadings combine the beautiful characteristics of curtains, shades and blinds in a stunning design like no other. Silhouette Shadings can be opened for a full, soft focus view, closed for privacy or tilted for light control. We love a good make over, and definitely think that the window covering choice was perfect for that 'oh so awesome view'.

The inventor behind the popular Luxaflex Softshades range

Softshades are becoming an increasingly popular window furnishing option in Australian households. The soft vanes create a sophisticated and stunning environment for the home. Softshades come in a vast array of colours, fabrics and textures, to suit any home's style.

Wendell Colson is the inventor behind the exclusive Luxaflex Softshades range. It is a story about real people with real homes and real life problems. Over the years, Wendell has continuously developed ways of keeping cool air inside the house in summer, and warm air inside during the warmer months, making the exclusive Luxaflex Duette Shades energy efficient.

Selling Houses Australia - 1950's Time Warp

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia Episode 10

WEST RYDE - 1950's Time Warp

OVERVIEW: Andrew and Erika Coombe managed to secure their own slice of country in the Sydney suburb of West Ryde. What they call 'country' is an overgrown bush block with an old style country house featuring dark wood panelling and cluttered rooms. With a price tag of almost a million dollars, the place needed to be brought into the current century in order to be sold.

PROBLEM: The country house needed a modern touch, which would brighten up the rooms and add a consistent theme throughout the home.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex Silhouette Shadings in Originale fabric in colour 'White Diamond' were the perfect solution to lighten and modernise the dark rooms and give the home some personality.



HOW IT WORKS: Luxaflex Silhouette Shadings combine the unique features of curtains, shades and blinds into one window covering, exuding elegance and providing ultimate functionality.

The shadings feature fabric S-shaped vanes suspended horizontally between two sheer fabric facings, which can be opened for a full, soft focus view, closed for privacy, or tilted for light control. Designed to offer a dual effect, the front facing is a fine weave sheer and the back facing is a more open weave, which provides the best view-through effect. To ensure a seamless appearance, no cords are present throughout the fabric.
