Elevated design thinking, coupled with great craftsmanship can take a basic building material like Gyprock and shape them into timeless, sophisticated architecture. When you walk into a room, you want to feel seduced by all the elements. Having more organic shapes is a considered design choice that focuses your attention and captivates you into wanting to stay longer in the space. The walls and ceilings are the envelope of the room and form the foundation of the design. Adding a curve to a bulkhead, or rounding the inside of a coffered ceiling adds drama and elegance. Not all walls and ceilings are the same, so talk to your builder to ensure you get a product that meets your design, acoustic, impact and moisture requirements for each room.
“Cornices can also play a key part in a design – and they don’t always need to be white.” Greg Natale - Greg Natale Design.

“Walls and ceilings are an essential layer of the interior design and architecture.� Greg Natale - Greg Natale Design. Simple to Stunning 2020
“For this Art Deco-inspired residence, I embraced the lines of the era in the interior architecture, taking the curved rectangular shape of the entrance and recreating it in the ceiling coffers. The result is a restrained and elegant layer of detail that suits the house’s soft palette of blush pink, grey and white. Again, ensuring that the ceilings are part of the overall design, I echoed that shape throughout the house in cabinetry and mirrors, adding warmth via brass trims. In the custom staircase, the moulded soffit allows the ribbon-liked shape to thread its way upwards, creating a strong form that continues the house’s story of curves.”

“It was important for us to give the feeling of less is more. Pairing strong statement lines with soft curves in the wall achieved using Gyprock Superchek™, the style incorporates classic coastal, minimalist and organic themes.â€? Simone Mathews - Soul Home. Simple to Stunning 2020
“Make your home different to others on your block.” “Curves are a great way to soften a space and add detail and interest without overpowering the space. Why not curve the wall or edges on the ceiling and bulk heads. You can also build in custom shelving and seating. Using plaster is a great idea as it is so flexible and has a soft look.”
