"Cavalier Bremworth carpet was selected for the Marketing Suite and Display Home for its quality, style and durability."

The Gracewood Community is an initiative of Baptist Community Services (BCS). It is a purpose built community service model designed to provide seniors with accommodation and care that is tailored to their specific needs. 

BCS engaged Gilmore Interior Design (GID) to create interior schemes for the 271 independent living units (ILUs). The general interior scheme has been recreated in an existing building on site as the Marketing Suite and Display Home to help potential residents visualise the apartment interior.

The brief for the Display Home was to create an environment that is welcoming and colourful with a contemporary feel. GID used neutral tones throughout for the carpet and paint colours, but selected a warm sunshine yellow feature colour in the Foyer and through into the Kitchen and Marketing Suite.

Cavalier Bremworth carpet was selected for the Marketing Suite and Display Home for its quality, style and durability. The carpets used include Troika and Dashes II which are both thick wool, loop pile carpet and help to create a homely environment while being easy to maintain with the constant flow of people viewing the Display Home. The natural tones complement the main paint colours and furniture. The carpet provides a neutral base for the brighter colours used throughout the decorative finishes.
