A once dull, outdated home has been transformed into an incredible home inspired by those found in the stylish desert resort city of Palm Springs in California.
Owners Carol and Wayne Styles bought the Gold Coast home, which was once dubbed the street’s ‘ugly duckling, in 2020 for $655,000 and have since transformed it into a luxurious summer oasis.
With clean white walls, retro old Hollywood touches, desert landscaping and vibrant pops of colour, the Palm Springs theme runs throughout the whole house and into the backyard.
The home’s exterior is now completely unrecognisable after it was given a fresh lick of white paint and a large carport and retro breezeblock walls were added

Through the orange double front doors, the entryway oozes elegance and would make any guest feel as though they’ve entered a chic Californian hotel with palm-leaf wallpaper and wood paneling

The new and improved open-plan designer kitchen has stone benchtops, a curved island with natural timber and high-end appliances including two ovens
Off the kitchen is the modern, spacious, and light-filled dining and living area that opens out onto the stunning entertaining deck
