Escape into one of our newest displays - The Valiente Three. There’s something special about the Lakehouse aesthetic—it’s relaxed yet refined, airy yet grounded, and always feels like a peaceful retreat. Now, you can bring that same warmth and calm into your everyday life with our newest display home, the Valiente Three, now open and styled in a Modern Coastal Lakehouse look.
Whether you’re dreaming of building in the future or still in your research phase, the Lakehouse style is all about natural textures, soft tones, and a layout that flows effortlessly. Let’s take a closer look at how the Valiente Three captures this feeling—and how you can recreate the look in your own home.
Want to bring this timeless, tranquil style into your own space? Here’s how to get the look:
• Opt for light-toned timber furniture, soft linen upholstery, and woven textures.
• Add rattan, leather, and matte black accents to balance softness with structure.
• Use oak or similar timber flooring for a warm, grounded base.
• Add wallpaper in soft prints or textures at your entry or powder room for an elevated first impression.
• Incorporate neutral carpets with a touch of warmth—think sand, wheat or oat tones.
• Choose classic cabinetry styles with natural textures, like Polytec Woodmatt finishes.
• Add soft curves with arched doorways or wall features to create flow and interest.
• Base tones: soft whites, warm greys, and natural timber.
• Accent colours: sage green, soft blue, or charcoal.
• Keep the overall palette earthy, grounded, and inspired by nature.
As soon as you step through the door, the Valiente Three wraps you in a sense of calm and connection. The home is designed to embrace natural light and flow, with thoughtful material choices that bring warmth and texture into every room.
