Local Projects, By Barnes Interiors

Barnes Interiors works with the best interior designers in the Illawarra region. This Austinmer detailed Kitchen/Living room faces the west and is extremely hot, it also hosted some daytime privacy issues on street level. The Luxaflex Architella Duette Shades in the Gallery exclusive Designer Range of Fabrics using Top-Down Bottom-Up Operation is operated by the amazing PowerView automation system. With the PowerView Hub our clients have programmed in particular personal daytime scenes so that their window furnishings will act automatically at certain time of the day.

Architectural Design Home with uninterrupted ocean views, downside here was the unrelentless morning sun coming directly in to the living room, causing UV damage to furnishings, amazing art and to remove the point of having to wear sunglasses whilst inside.

This incredible Wollongong property is totally automated by Control 4 home system, our specialist technicians seamlessly integrated the Qmotion Zigbee, Luxaflex Edge Roller blind to be operated from anywhere in the world. Using the Proscreen Fabric we were able to reduce the UV damage, sun glare and Still maintain some amazing views.

This a beautiful kitchen space that kindly looks directly onto the neighbor’s property in Thirroul.  It was a southern facing room that required maximum light through out the day, providing daytime privacy and then in the evening it was nighttime privacy.

The Luxaflex Pirouette Shading was the perfect choice to compliment this designer styled property, utilizing the exclusive Designer Range of products available through our Gallery Store. Coupled with PowerView operation for child safe, clean looks and ease of use made this the perfect choice for this Hampton home.  Home automation was paramount on the clients requests and we met that beautifully with PowerView System.

Luxaflex Polysatin Shutters were not only a stunning choice for the finishing touches to our client's bathroom renovation, but they are beyond practical - in fact you could barely justify choosing any other product for moist areas in your home.

Guaranteed for 20 years not to peel, blister or flake, these easy care shutters can literally be hosed down (or you can simply wipe them with a damp cloth). Exceptionally durable, they are also very easy to manoeuvre for when privacy or light is required. For an impressive result in your bathroom or kitchen, look no further than these customisable and stylish shutters.  Call us on (02) 4284 0722 to find out more.

For this installation in Wollongong Harbour, we replaced our clients dowdy old curtains with these translucent Luxaflex Silhouette Shadings in a silken French linen. Unlike curtains, the signature “S-Vane” allows the blinds to be completely opened, closed for privacy or tilted for light control.

Not only has the room been transformed by the increased access to light, these beautiful window shadings have instantly updated the look of our client's interiors.

When your room is exposed to the street, it can really hinder your livability, even rendering a room to becoming a dead space in your home. This was the case for our client's living room in Bulli which fronted their corner block home. To reclaim the space for our clients, we installed Luxaflex Pirouette Shadings. These classically elegant shadings have horizontal fabric vanes attached to a sheer backing. Similar in concept to shutters, the vanes can be open and closed for light and privacy control and have allowed our clients to make full use of all the rooms in their home.

If you have privacy concerns in your home, talk to us for a stylish solution.

With continued high density living, finding privacy solutions for your exteriors becomes paramount for guaranteed enjoyable outdoor rest and recreation. We installed these fabulous Luxaflex exterior shutters on our client's terrace in Woonona which have enabled them to make the most of their lovely outdoor space.

The grey powdercoated finish perfectly suits the contemporary style of their building adding to their already stylish aesthetic. The louvres are so easy to manoeuvre and can be opened and closed to control light and wind, increasing the opportunities for alfresco relaxation. There is no doubt these shutters have extended the living space of our client's home. Call us on (02) 4284 0722 if you want an exteriors solution for your home.

We installed these stunning S-wave fold sheer curtains in our client's lounge room in Wollongong using Mokum's luxurious Infinite Rice Paper Italian linen. For simpler operation, our client opted for motorisation, so we installed a Silent Gliss 5600 motorised track. The track was recessed into the ceiling for a suitably seamless and elegant finish. The best part is that the motor is whisper quiet - so zen!

If you are looking for a flawless and refined finish to your home with beautiful window furnishings that incorporate the very best and latest technology, talk to us.

When our client in Towradgi asked us to redecorate their entire bedroom with a classic but relaxed mood, we took our inspiration from the Hamptons. The casual and relaxed but sophisticated American coastal style is easily transferrable to the Australian lifestyle, whether it be in the bush or by the beach.  Using a neutral palette with touches of colour, texture and pattern in the soft furnishings and accessories, the interiors are easy to add to or change whenever our client feels like an update or added twist. We incorporated shutters and sheers (with a triple pleat) for the window furnishings to achieve the classical easy ambience our client was after.

There is no doubt sheer curtains are having a moment. No longer are they hung to simply obscure the view, these tantalising lightweight drapes give a contemporary and breezy look to any room.

To achieve a slighty more finished look to these curtains, our client in Wombarra chose to have them made with a triple pleat as opposed to the popular s-wave.  The result is a relaxed but refined feel to the room that perfectly suits their interiors. Talk to us about the ambience you want to create in your home and let us help you execute it.
