The growth of apartment buildings across the Auckland region is driven by the ongoing housing shortages and the demand for different styles of living by an ever-changing range of home buyers.
Whether buyers want more practical benefits like less maintenance and more security, or the desire for a different and more urban lifestyle, new builds and refurbishment developments are meeting the demands of a wide range of purchasers. From first home buyers to professional couples and the 60 plus age group, a more modern and sophisticated way of living is sought.
Lahood® Window Furnishings partners with a number of existing and new builds to provide purchasers with a comprehensive interior design service. Lahood helps navigate the body corporate rules and maximises the ambience and style unique to apartment living. Whilst window furnishings are the focus of Lahood’s service, they work with all elements of the interior décor to achieve an inspiring and seamless result.
With windows often featuring prominently in new apartments, there is a large “blank canvas” to work on, so the way glass walls and doors are treated is a big part of the overall look and will greatly influence the rest of the interior design.
Lahood’s Interior Design Consultant Tricia Dunlop says “Working with the spatial elements of an apartment is critical. With our experience we can add lots of value to the design decisions and avoid costly mistakes.”
Sheer curtains or light filter blinds let more light in and make a room appear brighter but still provide plenty of privacy. This is especially important for those north and west-facing windows that receive the most natural light. “It’s important to provide long term solutions. Apartment windows are usually subject to the harsh New Zealand sun, so high-quality products are always suggested and warranted,” says Tricia.
Lahood has a wide range of fabrics to inspire. They can cater to all tastes, whether it be a natural palette including linens and textural weaves, brightly coloured botanicals and abstract patterns, to luxurious velvets and metallic fabrics.
To fit with the modern styling in new apartments, automating window furnishings is another popular recommendation for Lahood customers. Nearly all blinds and curtains today can be fitted with fully automated systems, and owners can manage all rooms remotely via mobile device apps.
