This 1950s Wellington home was restored in bold bauhaus colours

Ann and Duncan’s efforts were a big success at the recent Resene Total Colour Awards. In the awards, which recognise excellence in colour and paint use, the couple won the Resene Total Colour Heritage Residential Award.
They also took away the colour competition’s top gong, the Resene Total Colour Master Nightingale Award, named after the Nightingale family, who founded Resene and still runs the company today.
When Ann and Duncan purchased the home in 2013, the house did not have its kaleidoscopic gush factor.
The gorgeous rimu ply walls and cabinetry were mostly faithful to the original 1957 design. However, Nancy’s original Bauhaus-inspired colour scheme, which saw the walls, floors and cabinetry painted in contrasting colours, had been painted over in the blandest-of-bland whites.
