Personal space
Modern design is tempered with touches of country retro in this warm,
welcoming decor by interiors specialist Yellowfox
Above: Polished concrete floors soak
up the northern winter sun in this
house – the interior was designed
by Yellowfox. The open staircase,
in oak and cedar, is a feature of the
home, with the warmth of the wood
balancing the cooler floor treatment.
Right: Out of the past – the living
area features a retro-styled bookcase
designed by Yellowfox. The overall
palette is neutral and the furnishings
durable and comfortable.
Getting the balance right in a home interior
can be tricky. Everyone wants a clean look and
the ease of living that comes with a modern
design, but a home is also about people and
family – so it has to have personality, too.
The contemporary merges effortlessly with
character accents in this compact home, which
was built to weather the elements on a very
windy site in Auckland.
Interiors specialist Peta Davy of Yellowfox,
the designer who worked on the project, says
a sense of space was an important factor in the
design, given the relatively modest footprint.
