Interior designer Carley Lloyd relished the chance to practise on her own “cold, dark” first home in Lower Hutt. The Korokoro home needed “a huge interior overhaul and significant upgrades to the water, insulation and heating,” says Lloyd, whose business Colourbolt Interior Design is based in Māpua, Tasman. When you use dark colours on a wall and dark aluminium joinery, it disappears. Supplied Before: The bedroom felt cold and dark and needed a lift. New Rhino carpet in a lighter colourway (dark carpet shows every bit of dirt and dust) and dark grey block out blinds from Window Treatments, were a no-brainer in order to allow maximum light into the room.
