When planning a renovation, most homeowners spend hours choosing laminates, colours and finishes.

But here's one question that's often overlooked:

👉 What plywood is being used beneath it all?

The plywood behind your built-ins isn't something you'll see every day, but it's a material you'll live with for years.

You've probably heard of E1 and E0 plywood. But have you heard of ENF?

ENF plywood uses no-added-formaldehyde adhesives, making it a lower-emission option for homeowners who prioritise indoor air quality.

At Cite Design, we believe good design goes beyond aesthetics. Every material we recommend has a purpose, and we believe you deserve to know what's going into your home, not just what goes on the surface.

Swipe through to learn the questions every homeowner should ask before confirming their carpentry. 💚

One home, beautifully tailored spaces. 🪵☁️

Swipe to see how we brought a balance of mature elegance and playful charm to these bedrooms.

For the adults, we wanted a hotel-style experience. We designed a custom divider that separates the sleeping zone from a dedicated mini walk-in wardrobe and built-in dresser desk. The standout feature? The curved silhouette of the carpentry. It beautifully softens the bedroom’s overall aesthetic and keeps the environment completely safe and child-friendly.

For the little one, we embraced a lighter, joyful approach! A clean sliding door wardrobe maximizes room utility, while a cute, patterned feature wallpaper turns their bedroom into a cozy personal haven. ✨

From smart storage to beautiful textures, we build homes that grow with you. 🏠❤️

The raw truth? Hiring an Interior Designer isn’t for everybody. 🔑❌

If you have the time to run a construction site, going direct to a contractor can save you thousands. But “saving money” always comes with a hidden cost. 📉

By skipping the ID, you become the project manager—answering dozens of frantic daily phone calls from workers. Worse, you take on massive financial risks. Did you know a staggering 97% of renovation scams involve unverified, rogue contractors?

The cheaper option can quickly become an expensive nightmare.

The perfect recipe for a timeless, hotel-worthy retreat. 🏨✨

When designing a master bathroom for a modern condo, the goal is always to create a space that feels like a private sanctuary while maintaining enduring style. For this project, we brought together three powerhouse elements:

💎 The Canvas: Large-format marble-look tiles wrap the walls and floors, introducing organic movement and a bright, expansive backdrop.
🪵 The Warmth: A custom floating vanity finished in rich, deep dark oak wood grounds the space, adding immediate texture and a high-end hospitality vibe.
🖤 The Contrast: Matte black detailing and hardware—from the frame-lit arched mirror down to the sleek rain shower and tapware—punctuate the look with sharp, modern sophistication.

By balancing the cool luxury of marble with the earthy depth of dark oak, you get a bathroom that feels incredibly classy, deeply relaxing, and completely timeless.

One Home, Two Vibes: The Art of the Bathroom Split 🪐

Who says every bathroom in a home needs to look identical? For this condominium project, we designed two entirely distinct spaces tailored to different moods:

🟢 The Common Bath: Playful yet curated. We paired a striking sage green kit-kat tiled feature wall with terrazzo-effect wall tiles and light wood tones to keep it bright, fresh, and full of personality.
🟤 The Master Bath: Deep relaxation. Here, we leaned into sophisticated utility with rich walnut cabinetry, elegant marble-veined tiles, and a signature vertical wood slat louvre feature that seamlessly conceals overhead storage.

Which mood speaks to you more—fresh & vibrant, or warm & sophisticated? Let us know in the comments! 👇
