A Hannah Excerpt: My favourite Auckland Apartment
Since it’s cuddle-season, I thought I’d talk about the ins and outs of my latest love affair.
As in I didn’t just like this particular job - I loved! Apartments like this don't just come up all at once but when I saw the freshly painted walls, spacious living room, thoughtful light fixtures, generous window allocation, curves and corners of this one I couldn’t resist but get romantic about it. It had all the natural lighting and views of the city a gal could ask for. Those are just a few reasons as to why this has been my favourite job so far this year!
The other reasons come down to (as per usual) the products we brought to this full-stage. Products like the complimentary white dining table to the wooden floors, gentle consoles against piercing walls, a neutral sofa holding autumn cushions in all their crisp glory, to the simplicity of the oak clock singularly scaling the kitchen wall. We kept the theme of autumn minimalism throughout the house as we dressed the beds with light bronze, burnt orange and faded mustard details.
We brought darker pieces to lighter rooms and vice versa to bring a consistency to the place. We also took advantage of the extensive outdoor area and brought an additional set of outdoor furniture to create a sense of privacy from the stretch expanding from the master bedroom to the living room. We told a story where you could go from having meals outside with friends on one side to cute wee coffee dates with your partner on the other. The visual narrative almost had me putting a deposit down too!
Side note, did you know that we as a brand like stick to luxury touches such as Ashley and Co. soaps, Compagnie de Provence sponges and bath salts, Citta towels and assortments of hand creams to our bathrooms? We like to have every room in our Auckland apartments keeping up with the rest of our aesthetic. Have you also noticed yet that we like to have our kitchens look like you could whip up a Penne Pasta with fresh herbs at a moments notice? I’m not quite sure as to why, but I think it’s because we can’t imagine anyone wanting to go a day without pasta. A fair call.
Finally, I loved that we’ve chosen My Father’s Florist as our floral provider because, especially at this property, you couldn’t help but drool over the bouquet of hers we brought in. I kept catching it in my peripheral on my stroll from the kitchen to the living room. It centered the flow of each space and gathered the rest of the wandering autumn features into a perfect understanding with each other.
If this hasn’t been a profession of love - I don’t know what is. Head over to our gallery for more pictures of this romantic piece of property and interior design.
