Sammy's perfect finishing touch

For Sammy and her husband, buying their first home in Christchurch was just the beginning. With a brand new build to style from scratch, every decision mattered and getting the curtains and blinds just right was the finishing touch that would bring the whole space together. Here's how Sammy worked with Russells to make it feel like home.

Open plan living

Sammy's open plan living area combines roller blinds and double track curtains featuring both sheers and blockouts for optimal functionality. The sheers are Odin from Maurice Kain in Shadow for textural appeal, while the roller blinds are Kanawa from Russells' own collection for a complementary aesthetic.

The perfect combination

Using a double track allows Sammy to achieve the light, airy atmosphere she desired while maintaining the practical advantages of blockout curtains. This combination provides complete light control throughout the day — sheers for soft, diffused light during the day, and blockouts for full darkness when needed.

Ready for styling

The bedrooms feature matching double track with Bali sheers from Nettex in Ash and identical blockout curtains. Solarline silicone in Quarry from James Dunlop creates a cohesive appearance throughout the home that Sammy enhances with furnishings and décor.
