A parents' retreat and epic spiral staircase: Inside Kyal and Kara from The Block's 'forever home'.

Kyal and Kara Demmrich are no strangers to home renovation.

Since renovating their first home together over 10 years ago, the couple have competed on Reno Rumble and The Block (which they won), run their own successful design company, and now, have just completed designing and renovating their very own 'forever home' for their family of four.

WATCH: How to make a room look bigger. Post continues below.

The house, which Kyal and Kara bought pre-children and pre-reality TV, was formerly a small beach shack on the New South Wales Central Coast - a find they knew would someday be transformed into a tropical family oasis.

Documenting the whole process on their blog and Instagram, Kyal and Kara shared how they brought their build to life, from beginning to end.

And now, after over a year of designing, building and project managing, their home is complete.

The beachside house, which Kara explained has an 'Australian Coastal-meets-Mediterranean villa' style, has gorgeous features such as an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, a parents' retreat, and our personal favourite, an epic spiral staircase.

Here are all the glorious photos.

The Mud Room.

On their Instagram, Kyal and Kara explained that the mud room was essentially created for extra storage - hats, shoes, bags, the lot. And well, we think that's genius.

Not necessarily my style, but beautifully done. The place is huge! I love the mudroom floor tiles, and am quite envious of all that kitchen storage!

This would have cost a bomb! Very nice though. Modern yet homely, such high ceilings, so much room for everything, visually easy on the eye.
