YOUR HOUSE, YOUR STYLE
Pottery Barn emerged from New York in 1949, originally selling pottery and homewares. Fast forward to present day and the brand is well-loved and trusted, worldwide. Ballantynes is proud to be the sole New Zealand stockist – not only for Pottery Barn but Pottery Barn Kids and sister brand West Elm.
The overall aesthetic from Pottery Barn means there are plenty of opportunities to incorporate your own treasured pieces. From rustic dark wood farmhouse tables to lush rugs, modern tableware, and exciting lighting designs. You get a calm, contemporary space that is texturally interesting, but not one that is prescriptive. It’s your house, with your vibe.
We all know house trends come and go but creating a space you love is all about developing your own style. The Ballantynes team curated a range exclusively for New Zealand homes, so you can add some Pottery Barn magic to your abode.
2020’s evolving looks include Rustic Modern, European Chateau, and the return of the bar cart.
Grounded in neutrals, the Rustic Modern look layers rich textures with reclaimed woods. Play around and add different metals – wrought iron, galvanised metals, and pops of brass for contrast.
European Chateau is inspired by nature and contrasted with warm gold and cool tones, this look is cosy and soulful. Weathered woods, patinaed leather, comfy sofas, and décor in shades of blue and grey give this a nod to the countryside.
A bar cart is perfect for entertaining and an excellent conversation starter. The Ludlow Vintage Truck is reminiscent of the beautifully appointed trunks that were popular during the golden age of travel. This piece has been built with durability and style in mind.
Pottery Barn pieces are designed not only to look beautiful, but to stand the test of time. Drawers pull smoothly, performance fabrics are easy to clean, and finishes are forgiving, holding up to the daily wear and tear of a Kiwi household. The quality represents true value, because of the many years it can be enjoyed.
Alongside the stylish look and feel of the brand, is a strong commitment to sustainability. Did you know Pottery Barn is currently ranked in the Top 10 global companies using organic cotton and responsibly sourced wood? They have an aim to be 100 per cent sustainably sourced by 2021.
The design team at Pottery Barn understand that happiness at home starts with the little things – that’s why they pay so much attention to them. Button tufting on a sofa, contrast piping on a pillow, a cleverly hidden outlet in a bookshelf – passion, quality, and comfort are infused into every one of their products.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a home styling enthusiast, with plenty of ideas and extensive Pinterest boards, or you are nervously putting together your dream home – Ballantynes can help you. The homewares team love to talk home styling, it’s their speciality! They’ve got the experience to back it up. Whether it’s a house you need to furnish, or a simple update to your bedding, or floor rugs, to planning a table lay – Ballantynes, along with Pottery Barn, both have the know-how to make your house distinctively yours.
