5 fireplace design ideas worth considering for your coastal bach.

1. Double-sided fireplace between living and dining — one fire, two rooms.
2. A built-in firewood alcove integrated into the wall joinery.
3. A concrete or plaster surround — not tile, not brick.
4. Position it on a different wall from the view — gives the room two focal points.
5. An outdoor fire pit in addition to the indoor fireplace — extends evening deck use.

Which one would you include first?

The kitchen island is the piece everyone designs first.

It is also the piece that causes the most problems when the clearances, the sink position, and the seating have not been thought through.

How did you position your kitchen island — and what would you change?

5 things that make an outdoor shower worth having.

1. Position it at the entry — sand and salt off before you go inside.
2. Hot and cold — a cold-only shower gets avoided from April onwards.
3. A proper cedar slat enclosure with a draining floor.
4. Brushed brass or stainless fittings — chrome pits in salt air.
5. Hooks for a towel and wetsuit adjacent to the shower.

Which one would you include first?

5 things to think about if you're including a home office in your coastal bach design.

1. Face the desk toward the view — it reduces eye strain and makes long sessions sustainable.
2. Acoustic separation — a sliding door so calls aren't broadcast to the living room.
3. Built-in desk and shelving — freestanding furniture never feels resolved in a small space.
4. Concealment when not in use — cavity slider so it becomes a bach again on weekends.
5. Side-lit or north-facing natural light — direct window-facing creates screen glare.

Which one would you include first?

The handover isn't the end of the job. It's the proof of it.

Full walkthrough. Every system explained. Documentation you'll actually use.

That's the last impression we leave. We want it to count.

The door system between your living area and your deck is one of the most used elements in the house.

The type you choose determines how open the connection feels and how much of the opening you actually get.

Bifold, stacking, or sliding — which did you choose and would you change it?

5 things that make a bach bunk room genuinely good.

1. Individual recesses with a built-in reading light and power point per bunk.
2. Natural light — even one casement window changes the whole feel.
3. Under-bunk storage drawers for bedding, beach gear, bags.
4. Timber lining boards on ceiling and bunks — warm and cosy rather than confined.
5. A full-height door — not a hatch, not a low door.

Which one would you include first?

The covered outdoor area is the one thing Coromandel bach owners say they wish they had included.

An open deck works in the photos. A covered deck works on a Friday evening in March when the rain sets in at 4pm.

Covered or open deck — which did you go with and would you change it?
