Chic Bach
The good old kiwi bach is increasingly evolving to be no longer your second family holiday home. With house prices on the rise, the ability to holiday abroad and the more flexible way we work today means the commute to the office is no longer a necessary consideration for a lot of people.
Old baches in the suburbs are being bought up and upgraded to family homes as people set up their own offices with a view, space and some peace and quiet.
Finding yourself a lot more connected to nature can be reflected in changes in the architecture of these homes. More portals to soak up the space and the views outside as well as capturing the senses woken all around you.
These homes are stretching to accommodate a more permanent dweller. And with that also the need for comfort and style. You can still cling on to that holiday vibe without having to have a seashell and sailing boat in every room, with the sustainable use of organic décor and the occasional nautical stripe. You don’t have to live in the Hamptons to create a sophisticated look and … blue? … well, there are also plenty of other colours to showcase from outside your open door.
Simply upgrade by creating a piece of luxury such as a patterned rug on the floor or wall, hand embroidered accessories, a stylish lamp, a crafted coffee table, art that speaks to you and creates a memory. Your options are endless.
