Nextdore is at the cutting edge of interior design innovation. We spoke to managing director Nick Dore and general manager Sharon Moore who told us about the extensive range on offer in their Christchurch showroom.
All in Colour
Designed with you in mind
McKenzie & Willis is the place to go for everything interiors with a complimentary, tailor-made interior design service led by Karen Powers.
The greatest of ease
This contemporary space is styled using neutrals from either end of the spectrum to create a harmonious feel and timeless sense of refinement.
One way or another
Our in-house colour visionary Alex Fulton brings out the best in the Forma Mean Chair from McKenzie & Willis with a backdrop of Dulux Southern Alps and flooring in Dulux Motutapu Island.
Neon lights
A playful approach to colour and a willingness to try new things combine in this beautiful London home of two architects and their children.
Coming in from the cold
With the change of season comes the need to warm up our homes. From natural décor and heating to the soft, warming texture of wool, we explore some wonderful ways to get cosy this autumn.
Out of the box
A tonal colour palette of green greys is translated into a unique living space with a clever wall feature and cosy, on-trend styling.
New lines and fresh forms
The team at Oakleys Plumbing Supplies tells us about some of the exciting new products set to change the look of our bathrooms in 2021.
The greatness of greige
Pairing up neutral shades with warm accent colours is a fresh and soothing combination that creates an especially inviting and cosy bedroom.
Nature's finest
Bask in the best nature has to offer with a conservatory that feels in-bloom all year round.
Indoor outdoor wow
Meet Abode's new columnist, interior designer and business manager extraordinaire, Kathy Husband, who tells us all about an exciting trend in outdoor furnishing.
Hygge haven
This bedroom has a tranquil and inviting Nordic mood brought together by Resene with layered natural fibres and neutral tones.
Make a statement
It’s easy to take your bathroom sink for granted. The water always flows out when you turn on the tap and only really requires our attention when it gets blocked. Stefan Warnaar of Crete Basins says it’s time to let your sink take centre stage.
Positively painterly
In this lounge, a wall in Resene Solitude has been given a gorgeous painterly treatment with a watercolour-style mural in shapes and colours inspired by an artistic cushion.
Art inspired
Rather than trying to find homeware to complement your décor, try taking inspiration from the tones and shapes in a favourite artwork and create your room around that.
Make a splash
Reminiscent of summer swims and exotic getaways, turquoise shades from Resene add energy and life to any space.
Dark and stormy
A bedroom is a room for so much more than sleeping in, so sail away with these colour and mood ideas from Resene.
Flexible fabrics
Advances in fabric technology mean we have a lot more to choose from when selecting fabrics for outdoor areas or that sun-drenched window seat, says Abode's resident interior designer, Sarah Eaton, of Tailormade Space.
Colour Box
The rich textures and bright colours of architect Kate Ottenés Johannesburg home mirror the lush garden, balancing a sense of energy and tranquility.
Welcome Home
Your entryway or mudroom is a pretty significant spot in your house. It’s the first point of contact with the place you call home – a spot to sit down, take off your shoes, and ease into the relaxed, at-home version of yourself.
