Facebook Tweet Help Stories New Home Sunny, inviting Waiheke home with interiors by Yellowfox Share Tweet Help Interiors project by Yellowfox with timber finishes, black steel and crisp white surfaces Everything about this new home on Waiheke Island is atuned to warm weather and relaxation. Interior design and spacial planning specialist Yellowfox created an easy continuity between indoors and out with a simple palette of contrasting yet complementary colours. When opened up, only a clear glass safety balustrade comes between the dining table and the inviting swimming pool. The best design work often looks effortless but reality is it takes careful planning to achieve.Detailing is the key to this light-filled home on Waiheke Island. The builder and the designer, Teri Donnelly of Yellowfox, have used materials that are both contrasting and complementary to create a welcoming ambience indoors and out. The living spaces and kitchen in this home all open up to the pool and landscape. "Timber finishes run along side black steel and crisp white to set off a summer home that lends itself to fun in the sun'," says Donnelly.The durable kitchen, in lacquer and veneer, features a slender stone benchtop which offers a feminine line to the overall masculine colour palette. The bathrooms are awash with light. Understated contemporary benchtop basins on a floating wood bench and hidden lighting details make this bathroom as summery and light as the rest of the home.
