A perfect partner for a highly attended annual event. 13 FRoM tHe eDItoR PUBLISHER star Media EDITOR Gaynor stanley There are few thing sadder than drab white walls, I reckon, and yet New Zealanders have long surrounded ourselves with them. So when a painter started splashing some plucky pigment around Star Media’s open plan office, I paid close attention to reactions. As a cosy mustard yellow spread over the entire far wall, the brightening of mood was palpable. People commented on how happy the colour made them feel, how much warmer the atmosphere was, how the sunny tone somehow lightened the load of constant deadlines. It was grea to see more confidence using colour, pattern and texture in the newly completed private homes we feature in this magazine too. Where not so long ago we might have felt neutral shades of brown or grey were somewhat audacious, today’s newly built homes pop with vibrant blues ( Jay and Rebekah’s place, page 6) and copper hues (Ryan and Jen’s, page 30). Matt and Celia (page 18) champion a monochromati colour scheme inside and out, while Sridhar and Susanna (page 63) chose dramatic black iron contrasting with smooth golden cedar to colour their new world. It was also eviden that more homeowners and building industry professionals are getting behind the movement to build better homes for the Christchurch climate. Warmer, healthier and cheaper to run is the brie from owner seeking builders with the know-how to construct their home from smarter building materials and designs that keep the cold out and the dust and electricity bi ls down. I really hope this magazine, and its associated Home & Living Show ( June 28-30), leave you brimming with the knowledge and inspiration to smarten up your home too.
