New Zealand Beach House

Red Rata fabric from Homebase Collections

Homebase Collections' Hoki fabric is used for the drapes.

Here's a nice chilled out beach house based in Waimarama, New Zealand. Spotted via ES Design, most of the fabrics are by Homebase Collections - a New Zealand textile company. They have the Dick Frizzell Woodgrain, Red Rata and Hoki fabrics featured in this beach house. I also noted the white Small Steel Table by Conscious Design and Angle Table Lamps by WORKROOM.
I have profiled Homebase Collections before on CMID (see here), as well as the cool home of the Culy Family and their Seabreeze Beach House (see here and here).

If you have enjoyed the postings about Home Base Collections and their Seabreeze holiday home, be sure to read the article in NZ House and Garden about Brian and Leanne's Culy home in Napier. Find it here. You will see the great photo gallery of their electic home. I had a email yesterday from Eleanor from ES Design, who has stayed in the Seabreeze holiday house and it is very highly recommended. You can source Home Base Collections from your Interior Designer or from ES Design who are the Wellington suppliers.

Home Base Collections - 'Seabreeze' Beach House

I was checking out the Home Base Collections website and I saw that they have a fantastic holiday home, 'Seabreeze' available for rent at Haumoana Beach - about a 15-20 mins drive from Havelock North. Styled by Leanne Culy, the Home Base Collections textiles are used throughout and follow the brand's philosophy -making it a lovely beach house to stay at.
Hmmmm, it's nice to think about the promise of summer that is on its way...

Check out this fresh looking range from Kiwi company, Home Base Collections. I was introduced to this textile range some years ago and I have a recent job that I know that the fabric would be ideal for. My client has a great Crown Lynn ceramic collection and appreciates all things stylish and kiwi. The Swans fabric is perfect for the job, as well as the gorgeous Nature Nuture and Rata.

Printed on hemp fabric, the textile range was designed by artist, stylist and designer Leanne Culy and if you check out the website, you will see all the photography is by her husband, Brian Culy.

There are other sideline businesses online - their homeware range (which includes lampshades and bases), greeting cards and art. A very talented pair...
