Multi-residential interiors designed by the popular Bec Judd

Design-led developer and builder Lowe Living has unveiled the final interiors release of its in-demand Sera project in Brighton, which has been exclusively designed by Australian media personality and TV presenter, Bec Judd.

Located on the corner of Pine and Hampton Streets in Brighton, Sera is the first of two Bayside-based Lowe Living projects that Bec will collaborate on over the coming months, bringing her unique style and eye for interior design to what will be her first multi-residential interiors project, after completing a string of successful high-end residential home renovations in recent years.

Bec has selected a timeless Tundra natural stone that hails from Turkey as the feature throughout the interiors, accompanied by soft timber detailing and in-built feature joinery, such as the custom profiled doors in a premium 2pac finish. Curved timber lines intersect with the sharp mitred stone edges to create the perfect balance of crisp, clean lines, and curvilinear forms.

“I wanted to connect the striking external façade to the interior design to really give a sense of holistic design. The exterior arched detail is subtly repeated internally with the use of a curved leg on the kitchen island, curved joinery elements, a feature arch-like stone handle on the tv joinery and a gorgeous dome shaped wall light,” said Bec.

“Warm, neutral tones with a complementary mix of stones, timbers and tiles really elevate the spaces to feel luxe yet welcoming, sophisticated but unpretentious. The soft tonal palette gives the interiors a relaxed, calming ambience. I really wanted to design interiors that were warm, inviting, textural and of a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe.”

Bec’s top five trends from her Sera design collaboration are:

Curves: “ The striking façade of Sera lends itself to mirroring this iconic curve internally, seen through the arched kitchen island leg, dome wall sconces and bespoke curved joinery that provide a seamless transition from outside in.”

Warmth: “Inviting tones of warm greys and beige provide a luxurious yet welcoming palette, while also creating a spacious ambience throughout the project.”

Texture: “Layering timber, natural stone, wool and gloss tiles provides ample textural interest and accentuates exceptional luxury in every finish.”

Integration: “A key element in all my designs is to ensure appliances are seamlessly integrated into joinery to allow for hidden functionality. There is nothing more distracting than appliance cords and boxes detracting from beautiful interiors.”

Profile: “I love playing with gorgeous joinery profiles, and the modern Shaker profile in the main ensuite and kitchen at Sera is a key focal point, elevating the luxury and functionality of the space. The contemporary yet classic profile is slim in its design and is the cherry on top for the gorgeous joinery throughout the project.”

The final Sera collection, designed by Bec Judd, features a limited number of two and three-bedroom residences starting from $1,295,000.

Bec Judd’s home has chalet chic vibes: get the look

In the cooler months, there’s nothing like cosying up in a winter retreat set amongst nature. It’s hard to imagine anything better than coming home after a day on the slopes to mugs of hot chocolate by the fire, cosy nights in with friends and family, or gazing upon the winter wonderland outside from the comfort of your sofa.

Follow these tips from Kustom Timber to create a chalet-style haven inspired by Bec Judd’s Mount Buller holiday apartment (pictured), with a decorative scheme based around warm timbers, tonal hues and touch-me textures. Don’t have the luxury of your own winter cabin? No problem – this warming and on-trend scheme will work beautifully in your home too, while making you feel like you’re on holiday even when you’re stuck indoors!
 
Here are the key ingredients of the chalet look:

Start with the right foundations

Create chalet-style ambience and draw nature inside with a scheme based around warm timber. And don’t just think floorboards – embrace the chalet aesthetic by extending it to walls, ceilings and even custom furniture.

Add interest by using different timber tones for your kitchen, bathroom or walk-in ‘robe joinery, or consider painting cabinetry in a tonal shade drawn from your room’s colour scheme. Engineered timber is the ideal option for creating this look. It is solid, sophisticated and versatile enough to be used on floors, walls, ceilings, wardrobes and bespoke furniture. Unlike solid timber, it’s quick and easy to install and allows you to update the look of your home without a costly, full-scale makeover. It will even help keep your winter retreat naturally warmer, reducing your heating bills.

Cocooning colours

Set a sophisticated yet nurturing tone with a palette of warm neutrals, such as mushroom, nougat, warm white and greige. Play up the cocooning vibe by using these hues across everything from walls, furniture, painted timberwork, artwork and décor items.

Touch-me textures

Engage the senses with a medley of textures in different forms, such as a faux-fur or boucle-covered armchair, sheepskin cushions, velvet sofa upholstery, richly woven chair backs and striking, patterned marble in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Modern accents

Pops of sleek, matt black in furniture legs and light fixtures add a contemporary edge to this cosy scheme, while aged bronze hardware and taps bring warmth and a touch of luxury.

Fireplace as a focal point

Put the focus on relaxation and togetherness by positioning living room furniture around the fireplace and concealing the television within a built-in joinery unit.

Furniture with curves

Seek out sofas and armchairs with curved lines and deep seats that cry out to be curled up in. Carry the theme through with table legs with curved battening and round or oval mirrors in the bathrooms.

If your cabin or living area is on the small side, you’ll find that curved furniture is also a clever way to draw the eye throughout the area and maximise the sense of space.

Mood lighting

No cosy scheme is complete without great lighting. Rather than relying exclusively on harsh ceiling lighting, create a gentle, layered lighting scheme consisting of floor lamps, table lamps, pendants and wall sconces, which cast a warm glow across walls and surfaces. Adding dimmers allows you to dial up or down illumination levels to suit the mood.


Kustom Timber’s engineered timber boards are specially heat and moisture-treated to suit Australian conditions, which means they won’t swell or warp. You can even use them on the walls and ceiling of a drying room – pair them with a tiled or concrete floor to create a cosy and practical space to take off your wet ski gear after a day on the slopes.
