Emma & Ben – The Block 2025
WALK IN WARDROBE
Couple Emma and Ben were the only team to retain the original floor plan for their main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe. Designed to feel warm yet contemporary, the rich burgundy cabinetry paired with light oak timber earned high praise from the judges.
The space itself is expansive, with a striking central bench reminiscent of a luxurious kitchen island. Every detail was considered, from the plum marble handles and dark chocolate timber interiors revealed upon opening, to the textured pendant light that adds a dramatic finishing touch.Seamlessly connected to the main ensuite, Emma and Ben’s wardrobe exudes elegance at every turn — a design that secured them second place for the week.
the KIDS BEDROOMS
Drawing inspiration from their own teenage years and the rich character of Daylesford, they delivered two very different designs.
The blue room was created with a teenage boy in mind. At its heart was a bold circular wall cut-out, complete with a bench seat and hanging space for skateboards. The judges praised the attention to detail, noting features such as the timber shelving and bed — elements not often seen in a children’s space. The second bedroom, designed for younger girls, took a softer approach. With twin beds and a pink-toned palette accented by bold maroons,
Emma and Ben again brought in the colours of Daylesford in a fresh and playful way. The room’s standout feature was a striking floral wallpaper, adding depth and personality to the space. Practicality wasn’t forgotten either. The pair integrated Hettich Sensys hinges into the cupboards of each bedroom, ensuring both function and form were elevated to the same thoughtful standard as the rest of their renovation.
