Tuhaere Road House

After an addition and an extensive renovation little was left of the original home.

Timber floors were stained dark and the higher ceilings painted in a rich dark brown.

Walls were painted white except where wallpaper was applied. The double story entry wall features a stencil design in a gloss white paint on the white matt wall, giving a subtle element of surprise.

The same design was repeated in the kitchen on the glass cupboard doors.

Handmade wallpaper was applied in grids on the master bedroom wall.

Venetian glass bedsides added a luxurious feel to the room when combined with the bedding and headboard. Black patterned drapes and a Chaim Mae Armchair covered in a striking velvet completed the room.
