Meet Britt and Taz

Britt and Taz delivered a standout kitchen design to tie for the win in one of the most coveted weeks on The Block – Kitchen Week! True to the light and bright aesthetic that defines their home, the kitchen is welcoming, refined, and full of thoughtful details that make it a true showstopper- a space designed to impress while still feeling inviting and comfortable. Contemporary shaker-style Cora kitchen cabinets are used throughout, pairing the soft tones of Winter Wheat with the rich woodgrain of Caribou Oak. Together, they create a timeless dual-tone palette, elevated by the sleek new Marco Bar handles in Brushed Nickel and minimalist Touch Catch hardware. The warmth of timber is balanced with the sophistication of stone, including the showstopping Dekton Nara by Cosentino on the kitchen island bench and splashback, complemented by Dekton Aeris on the rear benchtop. Designed with an open waterfall edge, the island bench provides generous seating space while anchoring the open-plan layout with a sense of flow and spaciousness. Behind the scenes, functionality is maximised with new Hettich AvanTech YOU Illuminated Drawers and Inner Drawers, Cutlery Trays with Knife Block and Foil Compartments, Non-Slip Mats, a Häfele Cooking Agent, and Ninka Bins. The White Häfele Quartz Sink and Stainless Steel Goose Neck Tap with Vege Sprayer add the finishing touches on this beautiful kitchen.

Britt and Taz designed their laundry as a stand-alone space, separate from the pantry, to give it its own sense of purpose. The cabinetry pairs Cora Winter Wheat Smooth with Caribou Oak, while Dekton Avorio benchtops and splashbacks by Cosentino provide a durable work surface. Finishes are completed with Touch Brushed Nickel Bar handles and Touch Catch, tying the design back to the rest of the home.

The layout focuses on efficiency, with pull-out Ninka hampers for sorting, a Häfele Tandem Side Broom Pantry to keep cleaning items organised, and a silver hanging rail for added utility. The Häfele sink and tap make washing tasks easy, while the long run of bench space above allows for folding. Warm LED strip lighting ensures the room is bright and functional without overcomplicating the design.

Britt and Taz have created a winning pantry that seamlessly echoes the design of their winning Freedom Kitchen. The combination of Cora Caribou Oak Woodmatt cabinetry with the softer tones of Cora Winter Wheat Smooth creates a balanced look that is both warm and refined. Dekton Avorio benchtops and splashbacks and Brushed Nickel Bar handles with Touch Catch complete the palette.

Designed to function as a secondary kitchen, the pantry offers generous storage and practical solutions for busy family living. Hettich AvanTech YOU drawers, cutlery trays with spice tray, knife block, and foil roll holder, plus non-slip mats and a Häfele Ninka pull-out bin, maximise organisation. Everyday tasks are supported by a white Häfele quartz sink and a stainless-steel goose neck tap with vege sprayer, with Warm LED strip lighting completing the highly functional layout.

Britt and Taz introduced a mudroom that brings order and practicality to the entry of House 3. The layout makes use of a symmetrical design, with storage to accommodate coats, boots and everyday items, while a built-in bench provides a place to pause as you come and go.

Their neutral colour palette continues with Cora Winter Wheat Smooth and Caribou Oak Woodmatt cabinetry, paired with Brushed Nickel Bar and Touch Catch handles for a clean, cohesive finish. A custom cushion and wall panelling by the contestants adds a personal touch, while Häfele warm LED down lights ensures the space is well lit and easy to use.

In their Guest Suite, Britt and Taz delivered a large built-in wardrobe and a stylish kitchenette. Designed with new Classic doors in Alabaster Satin, the wardrobe also features our new Wave Timber handles in Clear American Oak, and Nordic Oak Woodmatt interiors illuminated by Häfele LED light bars with sensors. At the centre, a dedicated section for a TV and bench seat adds versatility.Balanced, sophisticated, and highly usable, this wardrobe offers plenty of style and storage.

The Guest Suite also features a compact yet highly stylish kitchenette that combines timeless design with clever functionality. Showcasing our new Ava doors, in both Alabaster Satin and Caribou Oak Woodmatt, the look is warm and textured. Touch Catch handles keep the look sleek and seamless, Dekton Kode Avorio benchtop and splashback add elegance, Hettich storage solutions and Häfele accessories ensure organisation is a breeze, and the warm LED strip lighting completes the look.

Britt and Taz’s winning L-shaped walk-in wardrobe combines elegant design with exceptional functionality. Framed by our new Linea Amaro Smooth wardrobe doors, the Nordic Oak Woodmatt interiors bring a warm, timeless feel to the space. The central island which is topped with Xeron Cascade Gold by Cosentino — provides generous wardrobe storage while serving as a stunning visual anchor. The Marble Ova Pull handles in Roman Travertine add subtle texture and natural warmth, while touch-catch cabinetry keeps the look sleek and uncluttered. Inside, the built-in wardrobe is fitted with premium wardrobe inserts to keep every item in order, from the Häfele Rotating Shoe Rack, to a Varano Hamper and Hettich safe drawer with fingerprint access. NEW Häfele LED Flexi Strip vertical lighting with sensors softly illuminates the interiors, ensuring both everyday ease and a sense of luxury. A dedicated makeup table completes this beautifully considered space, balancing style, comfort, and organisation.

Winners of this week, Britt and Taz focused on a timeless palette and design for their bedroom, allowing their wardrobe design to seamlessly fit into the rest of the space. Warm and inviting, their built-in wardrobe look showcases Pale Almond Natural wardrobe doors and Nordic Oak Woodmatt internals.

The addition of the sculptural Clear American Oak Wave Timber handles add interest to the design, opening to interiors that are illuminated by Häfele Sensor-activated Warm White Bar Lights. Within the robe, the wardrobe storage is plentiful, thanks to full and half hanging garment space, open shelves and soft-close drawers. The open shelving on the side of the robe is visible as you enter the room- adding the perfect place to style décor and add personality and colour.

Britt and Taz’s winning built-in wardrobe design seamlessly blends the warm, inviting tones of Pale Almond Natural wardrobe doors with the earthy, rustic charm of Nordic Woodmatt internals—also featured on the open shelving at the side of the design.

The soft, creamy beige tones of the cabinetry provide a gentle, neutral backdrop to the winning bedroom, while sculptural Clear American Oak Wave Timber handles add visual interest and contrast. The use of contrasting timber-look internals adds depth and texture, all beautifully illuminated by Warm White Bar Lighting by Häfele.
