ART FOR ART’S SAKE

If one had to pinpoint a defining feature of

Evie and Sam’s home, art would be it. Their extensive art collection adorns every available space, and the house is essentially a private gallery with sculpture, objects, framed art and everything in between jostling for space.

This is a home where bright Rachel Castle prints sit happily alongside framed tea towels, and neon signs intermingle with vintage advertising. A self-described statement maker, Evie’s passion for art is evident in her line of eponymous art prints and homeware that combine bold lines, colours and animal motifs.

Evie and Sam’s house is nothing short of inspiring, and their chameleon-like natures will almost certainly guarantee that at every fresh visit, there will be a new colour, room arrangement or perfectly placed artwork to admire; a new reason to wonder if this is all just a crazy, beautiful dream.

EXTERIOR Evie and Sam’s home is close to the Auckland Botanic Gardens in the leafy suburb of Hill Park, an area blessed with a number of local parks and a wealth of mid-century modern architecture.
