Editor’s note

Wallpaper is a lot like fashion. Designs and patterns may come in and out of vogue (think serpentine florals versus dramatic geometric prints) but it’s one of the most satisfyingly creative ways to change the look and feel of a room in an instant – much like the way a new outfit can make you feel fabulous. If committing on a large scale feels intimidating, papering a feature wall in a smaller space is the perfect way to tiptoe into the wild and wonderful world of wallcoverings. This month we showcase the transformative power of manifold prints – some dainty, some bold – as part of our bumper bedroom issue, which begins on page 72. From colourful to soothing to luxurious, we have advice aplenty on how to create the ultimate…

Just what I need to keep track of my spending versus saving. anorganisedlife.com My platter game just went up a notch, thanks to Peel & Tonic’s preserved and dried fruit.

Ponsonby MY HAVEN

Where do you call home? Wherever my family is, wherever we can be together. We live in Ponsonby, in Auckland, and on the weekends and in the holidays, we spend a lot of time at the beach house in Omaha. Who do you share your home with? My husband Onny, my three children – Rocco, Hawk and Kai – my mother-in-law Nellie, my dog Boo and our cat Vampire. What is your home like? It’s quite a relaxed space. My husband is super orderly so the house tends to be quite neat and tidy. We like to cook and entertain and have people over for meals and drinks and things like that. Also, with our kids and their friends, we love having them round to hang out and swim in the pool. How…

Ponsonby MY HAVEN

Leading lights Furniture and design brand Coco Republic is going sculptural and timeless in its latest lighting collection. “Lighting is as important, if not more crucial, to the room’s overall feeling than the furniture within,” says chief executive Anthony Spon Smith. Case in point: the curvaceous, attention-seeking Milli resin table lamp (left), pared here with the Nokita occasional chair. The collection favours textural shapes in black, white or clear resin, with brass finishes. cocorepublic.co.nz Stay crazy Got an idea for a wacky Airbnb in your backyard, like Marton’s yellow submarine (left)? The accommodation booking giant has launched a global contest to find the craziest workable concepts for guest accommodation – and help to finance them. A hundred creative winners will each receive US$100,000 (about NZ$160,000) to make their outlandish design a reality. airbnb.com/omgfund HOME WEAR Wear 1970s…

BOOK OF THE MOMENT

Here’s how to liven up a dinner party – throw the P-word into the conversation. “Property”, that is, one of the most loaded issues in today’s society, from who has it and who wants it to why it’s so darn expensive. The media is awash with stories of how inflation and an overheated market are impacting prices, of Kiwis trying to get on the home-ownership ladder and, at the other end of the spectrum, how to invest in property without losing your life savings. Nichole Lewis’s first book, Property Quadrants, addresses the latter part of the housing conundrum. Investing in bricks and mortar, she says, is as much a part of the Kiwi DNA as Dave Dobbyn and a mince and cheese pie. But how do you go about it and…

BOOK OF THE MOMENT

When did you decide to create the “home away from home” pop-up showroom and why did you choose Wānaka? We wanted to create something new and exciting for South Island locals and visitors in the height of winter. It was designed by my frequent collaborator and interior designer Katie Lockhart. Customers stepped through residential doors and were immediately enveloped by the warmth of a nearby fireplace. After shaking off the snow from their coats and peeling off their hats and scarves, they discovered a cosy living room, fitted out with bespoke shelves and railings filled with clothing. You say you’ve collaborated with Katie before – what design aesthetics do you both share? Katie designed our first showroom and it really has been such a beautiful and effortless creative relationship. She has…

When Sandra and Wade McMillan moved from Auckland to Methven for a mountain lifestyle, they began searching for a new home that was smarter for the environment, high-quality and affordable – and discovered this wasn’t the most realistic combination in New Zealand. Because Wade is a design engineer and pretty handy, they decided that he would build the family a home, as his father had done years before. The couple moved into a rental in the township, which lies near Mt Hutt, to give them time to do some research and hunt down the perfect spot to build. It appeared in the form of an unusually large 4000sqm section a stone’s throw from the local pub, and next to a reserve, with beautiful mature trees. “It’s hard to find land this size in…

Carolyn Austin and her husband Damon came to house-hunting the second time around with very different ideas. Damon, a Wellingtonian, liked more modern houses. Carolyn, who’s originally from Northern Ireland, favoured a home with oodles of character, overlaid with a Hamptons beachy-style vibe. The couple, who met a week after Carolyn arrived in New Zealand in 2013, finally settled on this 1920s art deco house in the Wellington suburb of Seatoun. “We’d bought our first home, on the Seatoun hills, in 2014,” says Carolyn, a floral artist and the founder of Forever Floral Press. That 1950s house underwent a total renovation, a process the couple weren’t keen to repeat when they started looking for a bigger place for them and their sons – Micah, now seven, and Jack, four – who…

Petite perfection

A compact studio apartment, strict body corporate rules and a limited budget are not factors that usually lead to an exciting design outcome. But for Auckland writer Jo Bates, they provided a challenge to create the perfect inner-city apartment. It helped that Jo has written for architectural and interiors magazines here and in Australia for years, so was adept at understanding how a property works. Liaising with architects and viewing the interiors of countless houses also meant she had plenty of design ideas in her arsenal. “I actually had grand renovation plans,” says Jo, who bought the Herne Bay studio three years ago.“I was going to totally gut the space and push out the back wall. An architect had drawn up the plans but then the body corp said no.” Instead, Jo…

Petite perfection

In the pink Fall in (puppy) love with a dreamy bedroom kitted out in a chic combination of pastel pink and deep forest green. Plain linen sheets, pillows and duvets make the perfect choice for homes with kids and dogs, as they have a lived-in look that doesn’t require ironing. To counteract the room’s simplicity, a single ornate lamp hangs low beside the bed. Living luxe This luxurious bedroom features grasscloth wallpaper in a soft grey and a bespoke wooden headboard coated in bronze metallic paint that will oxidise over time. Pale floorboards topped with plush-pile rugs, brass pendants, soft scatter cushions and a handwoven throw complete the uber-glam look. FINE FORM In this bedroom, a feature is made of fine, thin lines, as demonstrated by the upholstered bedhead, stacked white curtains and ribbed bed…

ONE ROOM TWO WAYS

FACE PLACE Get ready to sleep like royalty under a sumptuous Wallace Cotton velvet quilt as your head sinks into natural linen pillows with the most delicate of frilled edges. Finely striped double pillows rest against a white-painted headboard with criss-cross detailing, evoking bedroom design rule number one: “Thou shalt always place a headboard against a solid wall.” In this case, the wall is beautifully wallpapered in a whimsical design from Resene that features a series of illustrated visages. Subtle, artful and with just the right amount of pattern to add interest without being overpowering. GRAPHIC DETAILS This stunning Resene wallpaper comes in a variety of hues. Choosing soft pink tones means the feature wall remains bold and striking, yet muted enough to be soothing in a calm space such as a bedroom.…

ONE ROOM TWO WAYS

RHAPSODY IN BLUE

When it came time to renovate her spare room, Jane Strange based the design on her late father, Fred, honouring him with a colour palette that is dramatic and moody but with a hint of masculine glamour. “I wanted the room to incorporate artworks I inherited from my dad that are meaningful to me, but were not consistent with the rest of our home,” she explains. Having recently given up the corporate world to study interior design, the Auckland woman experimented by curating a gallery wall, trusting it was the perfect way to combine her love of old and new, placing her dad’s paintings and artefacts alongside more contemporary pieces. “Dad’s paintings are mostly traditional landscapes that reflect his rural roots – farms, rivers, mountains and bush. I used frames and images…

Designer’s guide to BEDROOMS

When it comes to designing bedrooms, I try to have a clear idea of the mood my clients are looking to achieve. With master bedrooms, generally they’re looking for an oasis – a space away from the busyness of the home, a retreat. Something a little bit luxurious, warm, comforting, and most of all, relaxing. It doesn’t have to be overly fussy – but of course it can be if you love colour and pattern! Think of it as taking a mini holiday every time you escape to your bedroom. Kids’ rooms are so much fun to design. I start by encouraging clients to think about their child’s personality and what they love – hobbies, interests and favourite colours. From this I like to build on a theme to create a…

Designer’s guide to BEDROOMS

TOP TIP Our winner used Resene Black so it would pop against the light plywood pattern. Inspired by an image she’d seen of a geometric wooden feature wall in a café, Papakura resident Mallory Hoffman decided to jazz up her old front door in a creative way – and save herself the cost of a new door in the process. She began by painting the door with Resene Black, then bought 7mm plywood and cut it into strips. She worked on the design totally freehand, and the intricate pattern took her a few hours to finish. “I think it was well worth the effort,” the Auckland woman says. “It feels like an artwork rather than a front door.” Now, the much admired door is a hot topic of conversation for visitors. “Usually,…

Portrait of a gardener

Artist, jewellery maker and lifelong gardener Violet Faigan, her partner Malcolm Deans and their daughters Clara, 14, and Emerald, 12, live in a Victorian villa with a naturalistic garden in the Dunedin suburb of Belleknowes. When did you move here and what was the property like when you arrived? We moved here in 2010. What had been a considered planting of specimen trees and shrubs had become leggy and overgrown. There was a neglected rose garden, no perennial planting and a pittosporum hedge along the street front that occupied the sunniest position on the property. How has the garden evolved under your influence? I removed the rose bed and this area is now the pond. The shrubbery has been radically thinned – a cotinus and a pollarded maple are among those retained.…

A WINTER’S TALE

Even if you weren’t around in the 1990s, you will be familiar with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Not that Vivaldi was around then either, but British geezer violinist Nigel Kennedy was, and his recording of the classic suite of concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra sold millions of copies. In the provinces where I grew up, it became standard café music to accompany your nachos. The music for “Winter” was also used on National Bank ads for years, back when we all watched broadcast TV, and its namesake is certainly the most suspenseful of the seasons. But while my love of nachos endures, the Four Seasons and I have grown apart. I will not tire of the real ones though, even winter. For what may seem like the sleepiest, dreariest time…

A WINTER’S TALE

SORT THROUGH YOUR SEED STASH Even if it’s too cold and wet to be in the garden, you can still spend time preparing for spring. Sort through packets of seeds and bin any that are past their expiry. If you want to be doubly sure before ditching them, there’s an easy way to test their viability. Sprinkle 10 seeds on a damp paper towel, roll it up and place it inside a ziplock bag in a warm spot. Check the seeds every few days to see if they’ve germinated. Depending on the type of seed, this can take up to 10 days. If half your seeds germinate, this means that around half your packet will grow in your garden. You can test the viability of larger seeds such as corn, beans…

Snap, crackle, pop!

Create pots of gold (and brown) This project is a perfect mindful activity for a winter’s day. As well as selecting and arranging flora, you can get out your paintbrushes and have fun experimenting with colour when you decorate the vases. For this project I’ve embraced a romantic 1970s bohemian vibe that harks back to that era’s love of pottery, velvet and dried flowers – all in a blur of burgundy, mustard, brown and terracotta. Use preserved dried flowers and foliage if you want a semi-permanent display. They’re available from many florists, and there’s a wonderful range of colours and textures to tickle your floral fancy. Colours that harmonise When using repetition in an arrangement, as I have here with three vases, colour is key to achieving a consistent look and mood. Choose…

As a child, Jessica Agoston Cleary would beg her parents for a dog. “But they wouldn’t allow it,” says the co-founder and director of online art gallery Art full. “Instead, I had rabbits, but as soon as I bought my own house, I got dogs.” Jessica and her husband Bryden share their 1900s Auckland villa with Duke, an 11-year-old retrodoodle, and Bowie, a 10-year-old Old English sheepdog, who works at promo events as “the Dulux dog”. Jessica has had both since they were pups and says they’re real characters. “They’ve got arthritis now, so can’t walk far, but every day we wander down to Morningside’s Kind Café, where Bowie gets a date and orange scone. She won’t eat any other kind!” Duke, meanwhile, is “a bit of a ladies’ man” who charms the punters at…
