Newtown House, Wellington

The Newtown Residence classic kitchen and spacious walk-in scullery have panel doors, with feathery grey cabinetry and white bench-tops. The pantry’s glass front doors display beautiful vases and ceramics. Brass hardware, a chrome Perrin & Rowe Oberon kitchen tap and a marble tile splash-back are the perfect finishing touches. The family bathroom exudes a French influence throughout.  An antique sideboard, originally from France, was converted into a large vanity.  Behind the freestanding bath, a delightful pair of antique French doors enhance the sense of space and serve to reflect natural light from the skylight above.  A walk-in shower features marble-look wall tiles, contrasting with the dark grey herringbone tiles on the floor.  Brass and reeded-glass wall lights from ECC add to the room’s restrained formality. The divine, dark & moody Powder Room with bold floral wallpaper is reflected strikingly in the Perrin & Rowe Deco chrome tapware & accessories.  A palette of greys, whites and marble lend the laundry an enviable calm. Panelled joinery provides generous storage, supplemented by exquisite detailing of hooks and rails for hanging. An ample benchtop and stunning marble tiled splashback are completed by the Perrin & Rowe Oberon tap in Chrome.  Photographer: Bonny Beattie Designer: Charlotte Minty
