NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2021
W
here did this year go? If you’re anything like me, it’s been a busy one, with a lot of new projects and places to enjoy. With Covid-19 still very much present in our world, it’s been a challenging one, too. We can only hope that in a year or so, we will be safe to enjoy similar freedoms to the ones we had before the pandemic. In the meantime, many of us are still directing our travel budgets into our homes and visiting previously undiscovered corners of Aotearoa. In this issue, we look at how Covid-19 has changed the way we inhabit our homes and how that could mean the end of ‘open plan’ living. There’s some excellent advice and design inspiration for interiors as we look at getting the guest bedroom ready for the holidays, changing things up with wallpaper, kitchen design and landscaping. The abodes in this issue are a celebration of the good life in some great places. We travel to Twizel to see a bach designed with three generations of one family in mind. In Wānaka, we visit a beautiful, lakeside sustainable home with stunning cedar joinery built for a young family embracing a relaxed lifestyle. A lightfilled oasis near Timaru is an entertainer’s dream with poolside living and in central Ōtautahi we celebrate the renovation of a unique historical home with a sympathetically designed modern interior. Our international home is a Brazilian-inspired architectural wonder which brings the outdoors in. We hope you find something to inspire you.

CO U NT RY K I D Soft tones of green (Resene Green Spring and Resene Paddock) and pink make this room cosy and full of whimsy with a country twist. Adding a timeless mid-century chair to a bedroom brings up the relaxed vibe and makes a space for reading under a canopy of organic green tones. Adding bold stripes adds a modern touch for your little person.

WHIMSICAL DESIGN Add whimsy with linen patterned with wildflowers. Bedding is an easy way to change the mood of a bedroom. The wall paint choices were chosen from the colours of the duvet cover. Città Design created this duvet by hand painting a design based on a meadow of wildflowers – and it’s beautiful.
RESENE GREEN SPRING
M I D - C E NTU RY C L A S S I C Inspired by Scandinavian design, this 1970s Scandi Chair is crafted by Levin-based furniture artisans Craftbuilt Industries. Available in different woods and fabrics, this chair is simple but very effective in a variety of home spaces.
A D D E D TE X T U R E Conventional ar t doesn’t need to hang on walls – try something a little different to add texture and interest. This piece is from Spotlight and is inexpensive, cheerful and fun.
N ATU R A L R O OTS Organic and natural products like this side table made from the root of a tree softens the space and is also useful for a side table lamp and displaying favourite trinkets.

M O D E RN TOW N Grey is often considered a cold colour, but by adding warmer tones it creates a comforting and sophisticated space. I emphasised colour by adding a customised artwork in the same colour but with a texture that modernises any space. By adding a textured sand to paint and painting onto a canvas in a random way you can create a great effect. The grey colour is Resene Double Concrete, and I added Resene SRG Grit for the texture.

INTERIORS B R I G HT S H A P E S A selection of shaped vases helps move your eye around the space and adds interest. Modern shapes bring a sense of design wow-factor. Adding seasonal not-so -traditional blooms increases the architectural form for the zone.
TO N A L FLO O R I N G The tonal story of the grey walls, the canvas and the rug are the perfect backdrop to the colours of the other items in this room. Think of it like a theatre backdrop making the accessories the central characters in the play. We have set the stage for colour, pattern and texture.

This beautiful pattern ties in the colours of the space. Scatter cushions are an easy addition. Or adding substrate from a chair or a sofa often ties together the room's design and colour elements. The subtle design of the cushion softens the block colours of the wall and vases.
