This beach holiday home was renovated by local Ohope builder Sheldon Hill and incorporates the clients wish to keep all surfaces either black, white or dark timber. The use of brass accents warm the space and create a luxurious vibe that is in line with the clients aesthetic. The use of bronzed mirrors as splashbacks, especially in the kitchen bounce light around the room and in the kitchen the beautiful view of Ohope's West End is reflected. An entertainers delight, this home will be enjoyed year round with the covered deck complete with ambient lighting, fireplace and outdoor kitchen. When it is too chilly to be outside guests will enjoy the wet bar adjacent to the dining room.

About the
Professional

Akin Design is a boutique Interior Design service located in Ohope, Bay of Plenty. Sherrie at Akin Design covers the wider Bay of Plenty (Tauranga, Rotorua, Whakatane) and Gisborne area and as the name suggests, strives to work to create a style akin to your aspirations for your home, office space or place of work. Sherrie is passionate about creating beautiful spaces that reflect who you are and how your family lives. From custom furniture design, to material selection to renovations and new builds, Sherrie can create design solutions that will transform your space to not only look beautiful but which will also meet all your practical requirements for day to day living.

Sherrie will work closely with your architect, builder and landscape designer to ensure a cohesive design that minimises your time output, or enables you to be as involved as you like in the process. Akin Design works with and can recommend a trusted team of tradespeople that can realise designs to a high specification and exceed client expectations.

Alongside the build part of a renovation, Akin Design uses a wide range of wholesalers, retailers and craftspeople to design the final layers for your home in furniture and decor. A well designed space deserves to be furnished with consideration so it can become a home to be enjoyed everyday. Sherrie can work with the special pieces you already own and tie these together with carefully selected pieces, adhering to your budget and time constraints or start from scratch to build a collection of lovely pieces to turn a house into a home.

Sherrie loves what she does and looks forward to taking future clients on the journey where considered design is the process and living is the product.
