Decorating and Colour Trends for Your New Longview Home

Building a new home is an exciting journey, and one of the most enjoyable parts is personalising it with your own decorating style. At Longview Homes, we don’t just build houses; we create homes that reflect your unique taste and lifestyle. That’s why we’re keeping a close eye on the latest decorating and colour trends in New Zealand, to help you make informed decisions for your Longview home.

Embracing Nature with Earthy Tones

Drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s stunning landscapes, earthy tones are becoming increasingly popular. Think warm browns, muted greens, and gentle ochre hues. These colours create a sense of calm and connection to nature, perfect for the relaxed Kiwi lifestyle. In your Longview home, consider incorporating these colours through:

• Interior Paint: Feature walls in living areas or bedrooms.
• Textiles: Natural fibre rugs, linen curtains, and woollen throws.
• Décor: Timber furniture, ceramic vases, and stone accents.

We understand the importance of bringing the outdoors in, especially in our beautiful Bay of Plenty settings. Large windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, key features of Longview Homes designs, work perfectly with these natural palettes.

The Timeless Appeal of Neutral Hues

Neutral colours will always have a place in home decorating. Soft whites, creams, and greys provide a versatile backdrop that allows you to layer textures and add pops of colour through accessories.

• Walls: Create a spacious feel with light neutrals.
• Furniture: Invest in neutral sofas and chairs that can be styled with cushions and throws.
• Flooring: Timber floors or neutral carpets add warmth and elegance.

Longview Homes focuses on creating homes that are both stylish and liveable. Neutral tones provide that timeless appeal, ensuring your home will look beautiful for years to come.

Adding Personality with Bold Accents

While neutral and earthy tones create a harmonious base, don’t be afraid to inject your personality with bold accents.

• Feature Walls: A pop of colour can transform a room.
• Artwork: Choose pieces that reflect your style and interests.
• Accessories: Cushions, throws, and vases are easy ways to add colour and texture.

Remember, Longview Homes is all about customisation. We can work with you to incorporate your favourite colours and design elements into your new home.

Sustainable Choices for a Brighter Future

Sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a way of life. At Longview Homes, we’re committed to using sustainable practices and materials where possible. Consider incorporating sustainable elements into your decorating:

• Recycled Materials: Timber flooring made from recycled Rimu framing or decking made from 100% recycled materials.
• Energy-Efficient Lighting: LED lights are not only stylish but also energy-saving.
• Locally Sourced Materials: Support local artisans and businesses.
