Inside the Stunning Home Renovation of Gogglebox Stars Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd

By 17 April 2025May 12th, 2025No Comments

Featuring Premium Tiles and Natural Stone from Design Tiles

Television favourites and design enthusiasts Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd—beloved for their appearances on Gogglebox Australia—have recently completed a breathtaking renovation of their 1960s family home.

What once was a charming but dated brick house has now been reimagined into a modern, timeless sanctuary, designed with growing family life and effortless style in mind.

At design tiles, we were thrilled to collaborate on this transformation, supplying key tile selections that helped define the home’s sophisticated yet welcoming aesthetic.

From luxurious natural stone in the bathrooms to durable outdoor porcelain tiles, every surface was carefully chosen to blend beauty with everyday functionality.

Working alongside acclaimed interior designer Priscilla Elasi of Studio Priscilla, Sarah Marie and Matty envisioned a space that felt warm, refined, and effortlessly elegant.

With architectural expertise from Habitat Housing and construction by EXM Projects, the result is a design-driven home layered with texture, tone, and timeless materials.

Among the standout features are custom herringbone timber floors, sleek black joinery, French-inspired finishes, and of course—carefully curated tiles that elevate each room with character and class.

Luxe Tile Selections That Define the Space

One of the most show-stopping spaces in the home is the master ensuite, a spa-like retreat anchored by our Art Series Herringbone Indian Green Marble Tiles.

These rich green marble tiles bring a bold, organic elegance to the space, complemented by aged brass tapware and warm walnut cabinetry.

For added texture and contrast, the green marble is paired with Bianco from our Limestone Look Series, offering a soft, neutral foundation that balances the design. 

“The ensuite is a beautiful blend of contemporary and classic,” says Priscilla. “The tile combinations add depth, interest, and a luxurious finish.”

Seamless Outdoor Living With Porcelain Perfection

For the alfresco entertainment area, Sarah and Matty opted for our Ivory Stone Porcelain Look Tiles—a go-to choice for those seeking durable outdoor tiles that mimic the refined look of natural stone.

With their balanced light and dark tones, these porcelain pavers are both stylish and slip-resistant, making them ideal for high-traffic outdoor zones.

“These outdoor tiles offer the perfect mix of beauty and practicality,” shares Sarah Marie. “They create a clean, cohesive look that works year-round.”

Elevating Exteriors With Textural Stone Cladding

The home’s curb appeal is next-level thanks to the use of Cz Avoca Stone Cladding—a natural stacked stone chosen for its earthy texture and architectural charm.

It adds instant visual interest to the garden and exterior walls, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
