Seatoun New Build

About

Nestled on the east coast of Wellington, this unique and beautiful home artfully combines stylish sophistication with the practicalities of comfortable family living.

The home achieves a warm, welcoming informality alongside the owners’ obvious sense of style and appreciation of quality. The charming personal details have been given a base layer of consistent materials, colours, design features and bespoke joinery. The artful timber detailing is a key feature of the home’s design, providing a subtle connection throughout, applied at different scales or in varying materials in the kitchen, lounge, bathrooms, entrance-way and exterior weatherboards.

Colourwise, soft seaside tones are strengthened with contrasts of indigo, china blue and hints of pink/red for added warmth. Patterns are introduced through fabrics, joinery detailing and accessories. The light grey wall colour is unadorned in places to avoid a feeling of clutter but otherwise generously accompanied with furnishing, art and personal touches.

Careful consideration has been given to maximise space with dual purpose joinery and storage that is either open or tucked away in drawers and cupboards. The open areas are a mix of easy to access, strategically located shelves and ledges intended for display.

This home demonstrates the value of the interior designer being involved early in the design process, taking the time to develop a clear vision upfront which was amended and discussed. This shared vision provided clarity in the decision-making process with elements or features, although beautiful but not in line with the vision, discarded (perhaps for a future project!).

Two complimentary benchtop surfaces — we used a slim profile stainless steel around the hob and Caesarstone from Laminex for the island. Kitchen and custom joinery by Honour Creative.

Custom desk and seating joinery design by Honour Creative.

Ledges can be very handy for decorative and practical uses. They also add visual weight to fitted joinery.

This window seat down the wide hallway was such a great idea and the custom seating and storage we contributed is a multi-purpose handy piece... good for stashing stuff, sorting laundry

I love complex colours which offer different hues in different lights and this beautifully subtle blue/green/grey from Dulux is a current favourite. There are two crisp, clean bathrooms in this new build in Seatoun, one with custom joinery for the family and one in a more compact space as an ensuite.

The beautiful shade of 'only just grey' in this home gives my client much joy (I know, she told me 😁) because it changes from lighter to deeper and warmer to cooler throughout the day in just the way the room needs at that time. Choose your whites wisely and they will reward you for your consideration!
