Friday Flatlay: Mediterranean Meets Modern in a First Series Home

A warm, modern Mediterranean look brought to life using First Series finishes.

Welcome to this week’s Friday Flatlay, where we’ve taken inspiration from a recent client palette and reimagined it through the lens of our First Series range. The vision? A Mediterranean-inspired home that blends warmth, texture, and rich finishes – all while staying true to the accessibility and practicality of a First Series design.

Starting Outside – Mediterranean Warmth from the Curb

We kicked things off with the exterior – because Mediterranean design is all about that sun-drenched, earthy feel.
The base? Hebel cladding in Natural White, paired with Vanilla Quake quartz for subtle movement and a stone-like finish. These two work together to create depth and texture while keeping the tones light and welcoming.

Key Elements:

  • Hebel for texture and thermal benefits

  • Warm white render for softness

  • Stone-look surfaces to reflect that Mediterranean earthiness

Flooring – Autumn Oak Brings It Together

Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by Autumn Oak flooring – a warm-toned timber look that instantly sets the mood. It’s a classic Mediterranean move: natural flooring that feels lived-in, grounded, and inviting.

There’s no stark white or cold tones here. It’s all about warmth underfoot.

Kitchen – Refined Walnut for Rich, Rustic Style

The star of this palette is the Refined Walnut cabinetry in the kitchen, paired with a matching 16mm Refined Walnut benchtop. This rich timber grain brings drama and depth to the space while staying cohesive with the rest of the interior palette.

It’s bold but not overpowering – a nod to the timber tones found in traditional European homes.

Soft Finishes - Warm Carpets & Seamless Styling

To continue the warmth throughout the home, we kept things cosy in the bedrooms with a soft, warm-toned carpet. It’s all about layering - no harsh contrasts, no bright whites.

Instead, the palette flows naturally from room to room, creating a soft and grounded interior that feels Mediterranean with a modern Australian twist.

The Takeaway - Mediterranean, First Series Style

You don’t need a custom build or imported finishes to get the Mediterranean look. By focusing on:

  • Warm, earthy tones
  • Natural textures
  • Rich, layered timber

You can create a design that feels luxe and relaxed – even within the First Series range. So there you have it: our Mediterranean First Series. Warm, rich, and full of charm – without breaking the budget.
