For those discovering her for the first time, Veronica King is the creator behind The Builder’s Wife, one of Australia’s most trusted and relatable renovation and interiors platforms. She has built a dedicated audience by teaching homeowners what truly works, sharing the dos and don’ts, the smart shortcuts and the lessons that only come from experience.
And by her side is her husband, a registered builder who has brought many homes to life with his craftsmanship and calm precision. Together they form a team built on design intuition and practical expertise, showing their community how great homes are created from both vision and skill.
This project is their most personal yet. Veronica designed the home. Her husband built it. Their family will grow within it. And partnering with Luxaflex® allowed Veronica to select window coverings that support the way they live, while reflecting the calm, cohesive aesthetic she naturally gravitates toward.
In the main bedroom, Veronica wanted a space that felt instantly restful. Luminette® Privacy Sheers in Linea Marble proved the ideal choice. Their clever design combines two functions in one, shifting from room darkening to a soft sheer finish with ease. This gives the room the flexibility to feel cosy at night and gently illuminated during the day.
Their minimal projection ensures the space stays open and uncluttered, while the elegant drape enhances Veronica’s refined palette. The result is a serene retreat where softness and functionality work seamlessly together.
In her three daughters' bedrooms, Veronica created a layered window covering solution that delivers comfort, practicality and gentle elegance. Duette® Honeycomb Shades in Thea - Ivory Pearl Blockout help support restful sleep by managing light and contributing to effective temperature regulation.
To introduce softness and a relaxed daytime atmosphere, she paired them with Luxaflex® Soft Roman Shades in Lucent- Sheer Linen. Together, they allow the rooms to shift effortlessly from quiet rest to softly lit, inviting spaces for play, reading or unwinding.
In the upstairs living area, Veronica used Luxaflex® Curtains in Lucent - Birch Bark to bring warmth and texture to a family space designed for gathering. The fabric’s gentle movement softens the room and complements the neutral palette that flows throughout the home.
The front living room is defined by soaring 4.5 metre ceilings and beautifully detailed wainscoting. To complement the impressive scale, Veronica chose Luxaflex® Curtains in Lucent - Birch Bark. The long, elegant drop accentuates the height while balancing the architectural lines with softness. The result is a space that feels calm, refined and beautifully proportioned.
This room needed to adapt to many moments, from movie nights to quiet study time. Luxaflex® Curtains in Lucent - Birch Bark create a soft foundation, while Pirouette® Shadings in Satin - Chamomile Translucent add precise control over brightness and privacy.
The sculptural vanes of the Pirouette® Shadings adjust smoothly, creating the right atmosphere for any activity. It is a balanced, flexible combination that supports the rhythm of family life.
The living and dining areas are expansive, framed by wall-to-wall window doors that connect the family to the outdoors. To soften and unify the space, Veronica selected Luxaflex® Curtains in Lucent - Birch Bark.
Given the scale of the windows, automation was essential. PowerView® Automation ensures the curtains move effortlessly, allowing the family to set scenes for the curtains to automatically open the space in the morning and close at night. It brings together convenience, performance and the quiet luxury Veronica envisioned for this central part of the home.
Automation plays an important role throughout the home, adding a layer of everyday ease. With PowerView® Automation, Veronica can adjust key window coverings with a simple touch or by using preset schedules that match the family’s routine.
In large areas, especially those with expansive windows, PowerView® Automation ensures a smooth, controlled movement that enhances both comfort and functionality. It is an intelligent pairing of technology and textile, supporting the home’s atmosphere without compromising beauty.
In the guest bedroom, the window coverings help shape a warm, welcoming environment. Luxaflex® Curtains in Lucent - Birch Bark sit on a custom bent track, allowing the fabric to sweep gently across a wide section of the wall. This design choice adds softness and dimension, turning the curtains into a subtle feature within the room.
For added comfort and privacy, the curtains are paired with Luxaflex® Roller Blinds in Montana - Mascarpone Blockout. Guests can enjoy complete darkness or a softly layered aesthetic depending on their needs, ensuring a stay that feels thoughtful and considered.
The media room was designed for true immersion. Luxaflex® Curtains in Emerson Raw -Blockout help eliminate glare and improve acoustics, creating a cinematic feel that enhances family movie nights. The fabric’s depth and texture contribute to the cocoon-like atmosphere that sets this space apart.
The study reflects Veronica’s love of practical design decisions. She chose Duette® Honeycomb Shades with Top Down Bottom Up control in Birch Bark Translucent to manage brightness while maintaining privacy. This flexibility supports focus, comfort and the shifting needs of the day.
This home reflects years of thoughtful decisions, refined tastes and the combined expertise of a designer and builder who know how families truly live. Every window covering was chosen with purpose, supporting both comfort and aesthetic continuity.
The collaboration between Veronica and Luxaflex brought together her vision and our commitment to beautifully crafted, custom-made solutions. The result is a home that feels calm, cohesive and deeply personal. A place designed to evolve gracefully with the family who created it.
