Julia's family home refresh

When Julia and her young family moved into their Christchurch home, it ticked almost every box. The renovation was beautiful — but a few finishing touches weren't quite right, and the curtains in the main living areas were top of the list. So Julia called in Russells. Here's how we helped her turn a house she liked into a home she loves.

Behind the look

Julia’s dining room features a full length, lined curtain with a single reverse pleat heading style. The fabric used is Simplicity by James Dunlop in colour, Riverstone. Simplicity is a linen yarn woven with textural interest for an added dimension.

Light but dark

In the media room is another full length, lined curtain with a single reverse pleat heading style. This fabric is Envoy 2 in Whisper, also by James Dunlop which has a beautiful organic appearance with subtle colour variations throughout the weave — ideal for a room that needs to block light on demand.

A look that lasts

Julia's venetian blinds are from our faux-wood range in a 50mm slat size in the colour Snow White, fitted inside the window frame. Faux wood looks like real timber but is made from 100% polyresin, providing a more rigid and durable blind. A timeless choice that will look great for years to come.
