The Sunshine State produced two of the top three national winners at this year’s Awards Gala, and a successful first time entrant will be sure to join their ranks in coming years.
Jaclyn Doyle of Enigma Interiors was a worthy winner of the accolade for Designer – Large Bathrooms QLD. Her beautiful bathroom design later won her the title of KBDi Bathroom Designer of the Year 2015 – QLD.
About Jaclyn’s winning project: A raked ceiling and poor planning had created some impractical spaces for the home owners, and they sought a solution from their designer when renovating this bathroom. The designer cleverly borrowed some redundant space from an adjoining walk-in-robe and relocated services for a much-improved layout. A thoughtful selection of fixtures and finishes, including a range of tiles and tile accessories, has complemented both the new design and the home’s architecture, resulting in a classically styled bathroom that will be appreciated for many years.
Darren James of Darren James Interiors collected his trophy for Designer – Medium Kitchens QLD, and returned to the stage later in the evening to accept the coveted award and title of KBDi Australian Certified Designer of the Year for the second year running. This award will once again see Darren taking his place on the KBDi Designers International Tour 2016, enjoying Milan Design Week, Salone del Mobile and more!
