How did your background in interior decorating evolve into your unique career today?

Living in five different countries before the age of 16 really broadened my perspective on different cultures and lifestyles. I’ve always had a creative side thanks to my father, who was a painter, and I naturally developed an eye for decorating.

My passion for interior design truly blossomed when we renovated our second home. We bought a 1980s brick house on the Gold Coast, and I was eager to transform it into a classic American Hamptons-style home with a relaxed coastal vibe. That’s when I decided to start an Instagram page to share our renovation journey and inspire others with their homes.

What do you love most about our Contura range?

I absolutely love the sculptural style and practicality of the Contura bathroom collection. The smooth, curved edges and elegant finishes are simply beautiful. It’s a modern collection that also incorporates timeless design elements.

How do you envision the Contura range complementing different bathroom designs?

One of the great things about the Contura line is the wide range of finishes available. The basins, with their thin, elegant rims, come in different styles – Above Counter Basin, Inset Basin or Hand Wall Basin – and are available in Gloss White, Matte White and Matte Clay.

This variety means they can fit seamlessly into any home, and suit many different styles. The same goes for the showers, bathroom mixers and accessories, which come in five different finishes: Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Brass, Brushed Bronze and Brushed Nickel.

What do you look for in a bidet suite?

The Urbane II Bidet Cleanflush® Invisi Series II® Wall Faced Toilet Suite has been on my wishlist for a while. Growing up in Italy, I was used to seeing a separate bidet next to the toilet, so the integrated bidet/toilet concept is fantastic to me.

I love the sleek, minimalist design, the clean flush technology and the added GermGard® antibacterial protection on the seat. Plus, it comes with a remote control that lets you adjust various settings like water and air temperature, water flow and nozzle reach. To sum it up: I really need one of these in my home!

What does Caroma’s commitment to being ‘Made for Life’ mean to you?

What I really appreciate about the Contura line is not just its striking design that’s sure to catch everyone’s eye, but also its practicality and durability. These products are built to last, making them an excellent choice for any family home.

It’s reassuring to know that Caroma products are designed for longevity and come with a 20-year warranty, which gives you peace of mind that they’re made to stand the test of time.
