See How Timber Mouldings Help Define this Luxury Riverfront Interior

Architectural detailing has a way of shaping how a home feels, adding a sense of luxury and refinement without demanding attention. Skirting, architraves and wall panelling may sit in the background, but when handled well, they also bring clarity, balance and cohesiveness to interiors. This Gold Coast home shows how considered moulding choices can add warmth and structure without competing with the architecture itself.

Set along the Nerang River in Broadbeach Waters, the Annead Residence is expansive in both scale and intent. Spanning more than 2,000 square metres, the home brings together generous proportions, layered interiors and a strong sense of continuity throughout. Intim’s timber mouldings play a key role in that continuity, helping define spaces, guide transitions and establish a consistent visual language from one room to the next.

While the overall design and construction were overseen by Bravia, much of the home’s character comes from how architectural detailing has been applied. A single skirting profile runs throughout, creating a steady thread across the interiors, while more expressive detailing appears in key areas. In the six-metre-high entry foyer, full-height wainscoting helps temper the scale of the space, working alongside the staircase, chandelier and piano to create a sense of arrival that feels measured rather than overwhelming. In homes of this size, it’s these decisions around proportion and detail that hold everything together.

The brief for the project was to create a home that reflected the owners’ elegant and vibrant personalities while remaining warm and liveable. Each of the six bedrooms carries its own colour palette, walk-in robe and marble ensuite, yet every space feels intentionally connected. That cohesion comes from the consistent use of Intrim’s timber mouldings, particularly the WB01 wall battens used to create custom board-and-batten wainscoting. This approach has become increasingly sought after where wainscoting is used not only decoratively but architecturally, grounding colour, texture and pattern within a refined framework.

The master suite, complete with his and hers ensuites finished in custom Bisazza tiles, continues this dialogue between individuality and consistency. Here again, Intrim’s mouldings quietly define the edges, bringing precision to areas where luxury materials take centre stage. Throughout the living zones, the CR19 chair rail and IN16 inlay mould amplify the home’s sense of scale and softness. These profiles introduce structure in the open-plan spaces while creating an intimate atmosphere in the library, cinema and office, a balance that is often achieved through considered mouldings in premium residences.

Beyond the interiors themselves, the home includes a wide array of lifestyle features, from a teppanyaki-style alfresco and Palm Springs-inspired pool pavilion to a wine cellar, cinema, bar and a comprehensive wellness zone with steam room, ice bath, massage room and gym. Despite the diversity of these spaces, the architectural continuity remains seamless, thanks to the recurring use of Intrim mouldings. Their ability to unify both expansive entertaining areas and calm, private retreats is a key reason homeowners across the Gold Coast increasingly turn to timber mouldings and wainscoting as essential design elements rather than purely decorative choices.

The Annead Residence is a testament to how mouldings can completely transform a home. While the furnishings, materials and custom features all play their part, it is the presence of Intrim’s profiles from skirting and architraves to wainscoting and wall battens that brings harmony, sophistication and lasting architectural integrity. This riverfront renovation is more than a luxurious transformation, it is an example of how expertly executed mouldings create a sense of place, elevating a home from visually impressive to truly memorable.
