Get the Look, Palm Springs
GB Masonry’s Honed Blocks in Porcelain creates a visual interest through the use of clean, architectural lines that forms a mid-century modern facade. Paired with Austral Bricks La Paloma in Castellana, this off-white brick is smooth, yet hard wearing and easily maintained.
The mid-century modern design staple, the breeze block – continues its architectural moment in the sun for every Palm Springs aesthetic. While suitable for a range of styles, the breeze block is an essential element to achieve the Palm Springs look. Coming in a variety of shapes and colours, from the lighter Porcelain to authentic terracotta colours, the easy breezy breeze block will add subtle elegance to the Palm Springs-inspired home.
Whether you’re renovating or embarking on a new-build, incorporating breeze blocks for feature walls indoor or outdoor will add architectural interest and achieve the look and feel of a Palm Springs abode.
No palm springs-style home is complete without soft pastel hues that run throughout, adding to the dreamy resort-style aesthetic. Splashes of citrus yellows, corals and flamingo pinks on a mostly all-white base are signatures to this look.
Palm trees with synthetic lawns and low-maintenance succulents both in and around the home are a must for any Palm Springs-inspired home. Cacti and soft drapes of banana palms complete the Palm Springs look with whitewashed pebbles as a contrast to the smooth paving that surrounds the home.

As the Palm Springs aesthetic remains one of the biggest home style trends of the past two years, America’s desert design hotspot continues to inspire homes across Australia in 2021.
With a demand for increasing the synergy of indoor/outdoor living, the Palm Springs style is an effortless take on the mid-century modern home which favours low-slung profiles and dramatic roof lines. Ideal for coastal home lovers, this style is brought to life by lush green gardens, stone pavers, terracotta colour palettes and breezeblock retaining walls.
The Palm Springs style has cemented itself as contemporary coastal living stemming from the clean lines of a mid-century modern design that focuses on easy-living in a hot desert environment.
Indoor-outdoor living means minimal, hardwearing materials that can harsh the desert climate like that of Australia and cultivate a sunny state of mind. In this series, designer James Treble demystifies a cohesive palette of colour, finishes and materials so you can create your own unique look.
