Palm Springs Serenity with a Mid-Century Modern Edge

Wodonga might not be the first place you expect to find Palm Springs vibes, but Trentwood Homes have pulled it off with ease. This home is a real paradise retreat. With its flat rooflines, dramatic stonework and a pool terrace that feels like it belongs in a boutique resort, the design is bold. Yet inside, the palette is calm and timeless, shaped by surfaces that are as hardworking as they are beautiful.

Designed for Light and Life

The vision was clear, to create a home that looks effortless, feels welcoming, and doesn’t demand constant upkeep. Mid-century lines and Palm Springs nostalgia are softened through timber, concrete, and warm white tones. High ceilings and courtyards pull in natural light, while big panes of glass connect living areas to the outdoors. The result is a home that feels generous but not showy.

Surfaces That Do More Than Look Good

In this home, Caesarstone^® isn’t just chosen for style. It’s the quiet backbone of daily life with each surface playing its part in creating spaces that feel welcoming, durable, and effortlessly beautiful.

Dreamy Carrara™, from the Caesarstone^® ICON™ Advanced Mineral Surfaces Collection, brings a sense of calm to the busiest parts of the home. Its soft white base and gentle veining brighten the laundry, butler’s pantry, and even the living room’s TV unit, carrying that same elegance throughout.

But it’s in the kitchen where Dreamy Carrara™ truly shines, by wrapping the island and splashbacks in a surface that’s as inviting as it is practical and setting the tone for the heart of the home.

Cloudburst Concrete™, also from the Caesarstone^® ICON™ collection, transforms the bathrooms into calm retreats. Its cloudy veining softens the rawness of concrete, echoing the textured stone walls and pairing seamlessly with ribbed timber vanities. The combination feels both modern and natural.

Concrita™, from the Caesarstone^® Porcelain™ collection, comes into its own in the bar and servery, where entertaining takes centre stage. With its layered grey patina and rugged finish, it’s the surface that sets the tone for conversation, laughter, and long evenings with friends. Porcelain is tough enough to handle the busiest nights, yet striking enough to make the space unforgettable.

These three beautiful surfaces don’t just sit side by side; they create a material rhythm that carries through the house, making every room feel like part of the same story.

A Home That Feels Like a Holiday

Step outside and the mood shifts again. The pool, outdoor lounge and bar blur the line between weekday life and holiday living. Inside, the home theatre offers another kind of escape — a cocoon for quiet nights in. This is a house designed not just to be lived in, but to be enjoyed. A place where every corner has been thought through, and every surface works just as hard as the people who live there.

Trentwood Homes have shown that when design, lifestyle and materials work together, a house becomes something more — a place to escape, recharge, and connect. This home feels like a retreat because every choice was made with real life in mind: sunlight that follows you through the day, spaces that invite people to gather, and surfaces that stand up to it all without losing their beauty.

That’s where we come in. The Caesarstone^® ICON™ Advanced Mineral Surfaces and Porcelain collections not only sit quietly in the background, they make the kitchen easier to cook in, the bathrooms calmer to step into, and the bar a place people naturally linger. They’re beautiful, yes, but they’re also practical enough to take on every messy, joyful, everyday moment.

It’s proof that the right surface isn’t just about style. It shapes how you feel at home. Explore the Caesarstone^® collections and find the surfaces that could make your own home feel like a retreat.
