This is Emma's second flip
"This 110-year-old villa is my second home and renovation project. 3 years ago at the age of 22, I bought my first home in Tararua to renovate. It’s fair to say my interest in all things renovation, home and interiors grew rapidly, I was hooked!
When I saw this villa listed for sale, I knew I was ready to do it all over again!"
Emma's vision
"My vision for this home is for it to be a haven where I can switch off from my full-time day job, using neutral tones throughout and minimalist styling. It may only be half renovated but I’m also taking on a new project - subdividing and building a townhouse, taking full advantage of my quarter acre section."
How to get @themissflips look
The double track curtains - sheer and lining
Emma has installed a double track system - which we love! The front track is the Float sheer curtain in Linen colour. This allows for soft light and privacy during the day.
The back track is a Tripleweave fabric called Solar, colour Pearl. This second layer helps with heat and blocking out light. The curtains have a single pleat with a 3-meter drop and semi-puddling, softly touching the floor to create that effortless look.
The Akaroa wool carpet
"I was set on getting a really nice thick, quality carpet. Not only am I a sucker for great textures but I think a quality carpet can add value to this home for resale." - Emma
Akaroa (500/cream) is made from 100% pure New Zealand wool, this chunky textured loop pile is stylish, durable, naturally warm and stain-resistant. Plus it's a completely renewable fibre.
At Harrisons, we colour match with Resene. This 500/cream in particular is colour coded with Resene Biscotti and Spanish White.
The warm tones of this carpet perfectly go with the curtains Emma has chosen. This combination makes for a seamlessly put together space.
Neutral tones and minimalism
We love Emma's style, a classic yet effortlessly chic look. With minimal accessories and earthy tones she really creates a sanctuary. We love the dried arrangements paired with wooden earthy tones. It's those simple touches that really pull together a beautiful cohesive room.
