The recent renovation of this stunning property on Valley Road in Mount Maunganui highlights the essence of modern interior design in New Zealand, combining bold aesthetics with a light and airy feel. As part of our full-service interior design offering, this project reimagined the home's functionality and elevated its style, creating a harmonious blend of sophistication and practicality.
The Transformation
Our design began with a new interior layout, thoughtfully reworking the space to suit modern living alongside ata. A former hot water cupboard was transformed into a sleek new powder room, while the bathroom received a complete redesign featuring a fresh layout and contemporary finishes. Updates extended throughout the home, including new carpet, curtains, exterior joinery, exterior cladding, and roofing, all carefully chosen to reflect a cohesive aesthetic.
Premium Materials and Details
The heart of the home is the kitchen, showcasing Calacatta Viola porcelain benchtops for a luxurious touch. Complementing this are VidaSpace Frozen Walnut Veneer cabinetry and brushed nickel tapware, and custom designed lighting by Gemma Chapman Design creating a refined yet approachable space perfect for daily living and entertaining.
The original wide Tawa floorboards were sanded back and lightened, preserving their natural beauty while seamlessly aligning with the home’s modern interior design style. Custom joinery, including bespoke kitchen cabinetry and a cozy banquette seating area, was meticulously crafted by Pacific Coast Kitchens, ensuring both style and functionality.
Artworks by Devon Made Glass and Tom Mackie were curated to enhance the interior, adding personality and a distinctly New Zealand touch to the design.
A Light, Airy, and Modern Interior
The overall look is light and airy while incorporating bold, modern elements. This renovation exemplifies the best of residential interior design in New Zealand, blending timeless materials with contemporary trends to create a home that feels both welcoming and stylish.
