THIS AWARD-WINNING GOLD COAST HOME IS THE LATEST DOMINEE AND HER HUSBAND BEN HAVE CREATED AND THEY WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING

PRACTICE makes PERFECT

AHEAD OF THE CURVE "There's just a difference in vibe, and different feeling when you've got a beautiful curved arch," says owner Dominee (below) of her award-winning home. Plants such as dichondra 'Silver Falls' cascade down the facade of the new build, adding to the relaxed feel.

ENTRY The fluted table is one of Dominee's own designs from the furniture business she co-owns, Estilo Studio. On top sits a Louis Vuitton: Catwalk Series book and 'Alfie' vessel (used as a vase) from Kira & Kira. 

When designer and interior stylist Dominee and her builder husband Ben built their new home on the Gold Coast, it wasn't their first rodeo. In fact this is the ninth time that the couple, who tackled their first house when they were just 19, have built a place for themselves and their daughters, Macey, 10, and eight-year-old Willow.

LIVING ROOM A modular sofa from Trit House (opposite) follows the line of the balcony and its custom brass balustrade. "This room needed a beautiful curved sofa because of the way it's set up," says Dominee. The Home Bazar coffee table sits on a rug from Globe West. POOL Oversized pots bring a resort feel to the pool area (top). LOUNGE A chequered 'Harper' cushion picks up the tones in the twin armchairs from Estilo Studio and a white King sofa borders a large rug from Miss Amara (right). A 'Teddy' and 'Alfie' vessel from Kira & Kira sit on the coffee table.
