In the coastal Victorian town of Warrnambool, a thoughtfully curated home demonstrates how premium tapware and architectural hardware can elevate everyday living. Designed by Kimpton Interiors, the project brings together heritage inspiration and contemporary colour, with English Tapware Company products playing a defining role in shaping the home’s character and cohesion.
Across the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and entry points, Perrin & Rowe tapware, Joseph Giles hardware and Armac Martin fittings contribute both functional performance and refined aesthetics. The result is a home that balances craftsmanship, personality and durability.
Kitchen combines heritage and vibrancy
The kitchen exemplifies the project’s overarching design philosophy, honouring heritage elements while introducing fresh, modern energy. Perrin & Rowe tapware sits comfortably alongside marble benchtops and handcrafted joinery, reinforcing the room’s traditional foundations while delivering contemporary performance.
Carefully selected hardware, including brass shelf brackets from Armac Martin, enhances the layered aesthetic, while bold citrus-toned walls and tiles introduce colour and vitality. These details combine to create a functional workspace that feels both timeless and expressive.
Laundry balances practicality and warmth
Often overlooked in residential design, the laundry was treated as an equally important transitional space. Soft cream and warm beige tones create a calming environment that connects the interior to the garden beyond.
Perrin & Rowe tapware provides understated refinement, while brass hanging rails and cabinet hardware introduce warmth and visual continuity. The careful material selection ensures the laundry is not only practical, but also aligned with the home’s overall design language.
Master ensuite delivers elegant personality
In the master suite, attention to detail continues with Joseph Giles door hardware, bringing a consistent sense of craftsmanship and quality. The adjoining ensuite pairs Perrin & Rowe tapware with distinctive pink cabinetry, creating a sophisticated yet playful environment.
The tapware’s classic form complements the colour palette, demonstrating how well-chosen fixtures can enhance a space’s personality while maintaining long-term functionality.
Powder room reinforces cohesive design
Even smaller spaces, such as the powder room, were given the same level of attention. Premium tapware and hardware selections reinforce the home’s cohesive design approach, ensuring continuity across every touchpoint.
This consistent specification of high-quality fixtures ensures reliable performance while contributing to the overall visual identity of the home.
Tapware as a defining design element
The Warrnambool House project highlights the importance of specifying tapware and hardware that deliver both durability and design impact. By integrating Perrin & Rowe tapware alongside Joseph Giles and Armac Martin hardware, the home achieves a seamless blend of heritage influence and contemporary living.
More than functional components, these fixtures become defining design features by enhancing usability, reinforcing the architectural vision and ensuring the home will continue to perform and impress for years to come.
