Bold Colours and Statement Pieces
Gone are the days of grey, monotone and minimalism dominating every design choice. Now, bold colours and unique statement pieces are taking centre stage, allowing homeowners to express their personalities.
Whether it's through colourful tiles, statement wallpaper or eye-catching furniture, you have free reign to stamp your style on your blank canvas.
See the project we completed in Rimene House for a great example of how colour can be used to infuse a home with personality.
Warmer, Cosier Design Elements
Post Covid-19, there's been a steady shift towards making homes less “showhome” and more inviting. We’ve seen a big rise in the use use of natural materials, the addition of fireplaces, textured walls, and soft furnishings.
Our team excels in bringing warmth and character into homes, adding unique features that reflect the style and preferences of our clients.
Wellness Home Upgrades
The growing focus on health and wellness has extended into the home, with renovations now including features that promote wellbeing. Home gyms and saunas are becoming increasingly popular, whether as extensions to existing homes or retrofitted within the dwelling.
And it doesn't have to be a significant change to improve your wellbeing either! Something as simple as adding a deck can create indoor/outdoor flow that helps reconnect you with nature. Take a look at this recent deck project we undertook in the Marlborough Sounds.
Multi-Generational Living
With older generations living longer and younger generations not flying the nest quite as soon, there is a growing trend for multi-generational living. Reflecting the desire for closer family connections, people are adapting their homes to create more comfortable living solutions for the wider family.
Renovations include self-contained in-law suites and designing flexible living spaces that have multiple uses. Our experience in crafting multi-generational homes allows us to create spaces that bring families together while ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Upgrades
Between the rising costs of living and the push towards sustainability, eco-friendly renovations are more popular than ever. Homeowners are choosing home renovations that reduce their carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency.
From installing low-flow fixtures and energy-efficient appliances to choosing recycled materials and adding rooftop solar panels, the options are limitless. As Master Builders, Ihaka Construction has experience with a wide range of green solutions. We’ll work with you to create a home that offers a more sustainable lifestyle.
