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