Curved spaces with a natural timber finish

December 3, 2025

Working with Shaun Lockyer Architects, we built all the interior and exterior furnishings. A beautiful, warm, solid timber look to contrast with the concrete construction. The curved kitchen island, wall paneling, built-in window seats, all the doors, cupboards, walk-in robe, laundry, and barbecue area were designed and built to complement and create a sense of unity throughout the build.

Wall Divider for Living/Dining

December 3, 2025

This space needed a divider and the designer did not want a completely solid wall, and a solid slatted wall was the solution.
The dividers are supported by brass pins to allow the LED lighting to run under each section, as well as letting the LED light come from both ceiling and floor.

The owner was taken away with the detail that we were able to add to this room divider.
The slats allow for the dining area to still be part of the lounge and fireplace and makes for a warming dining experience.

Owners Testimonal:

We engaged Finer Living to build our new home and Entertainment unit, with a sliding door to cover the TV when not in operation, this unit also has many other features. Piano black edge details, LED lighting, 2 pack seal, 3 m fireplace and the unit is floating. The level of detail Matthew and his team put into this piece was amazing, he thought about every section to make sure we were happy with the end result.

We also had a Wall Divider made, this divider is made up of tapered sections that acts like sails, with top and bottom LED lighting and each divider is supported by two brass rods. The detail is just amazing.

I would highly recommend Matthew and his Team.

The family needed a large display unit with a fireplace and sliding TV cover for their Grand Home.

Working with the designer we were able to find a way to fulfill all of the clients needs.

The designer wanted the edge detail to be in black and high gloss.

With the addition of the LED lighting, The final result is simply stunning and the client is very happy.

Bespoke TV Wall Unit

December 3, 2025

The owner wanted a bespoke wall unit for the living room to create something special and unique for the whole family to enjoy whenever they were viewing the TV or just lounging.

Each piece of moulding is made by hand and each piece is glued as a single section.
The curve wraps around the sides but comes away as you open the drawer.

This unit has a tilt back wall in sections, the top is a poured resin top with a scalloped front detail to match the scalloping on the drawer section, also the designer wanted a 2 pack paint finish in different sections.

The owners are very happy with their stunning new wall feature.
