Modern looks for Lockwood homes
Here are some stunning ideas to create sleek, immersive interiors in your Lockwood home.
AI summary
Lockwood homes, an iconic part of New Zealand architecture, can be easily updated for a modern aesthetic, moving beyond their classic knotty pine interiors.
Renovating is straightforward, with options like painting walls, adding feature walls, or using blonded and knot-free timber. A minimalist "Scandi" decor style is recommended to complement the home's clean lines. Extending an older Lockwood is also a simple process, and modern builds feature advanced insulation systems that exceed current building code requirements.
