Most people dream of a country escape, but this farming family has found a welcome change of pace in the regional city of Ballarat in the form of a cosy Californian bungalow.

Choosing the best Heritage Colour Scheme (or Heritage 'Inspired' Colour Scheme) for your redecoration project:

Heritage Decorating recommends that paint colour schemes chosen for heritage buildings (like Villas' and Bungalows') be in keeping with the era of the building - to compliment the architectural style and unique features of the structure.

Heritage Colour Schemes should be guided by the colours that feature in the Resene Heritage Colour Palette, particularly if the property is in a street where heritage character buildings are prevalent. Property owners would benefit from choosing a main colour for their building plus several accent colours.

Historically, decorative elements were painted lighter colours to accentuate the three-dimensional qualities of the feature.

BUNGALOW - FROM HERITAGE TO CONTEMPORARY

Patrick Reynolds

Random House New Zealand, 7 Nov 2014 - Architecture

"A glorious celebration of one of New Zealand's most significant residential architectural styles. If you live in a house built before 1940, chances are it's a bungalow. It may be small and utilitarian, or it may be a high-flown celebration of the Arts and Crafts movement, loaded with inglenooks, stained-glass windows and wood panelling...either way it's a housing style that's instantly familiar to New Zealanders: well built, snug, and full of character. LIke its antecedent, the villa, its style has given our older suburbs their generous atmosphere and tone. In this splendid book, edited by Nicole Stock, New Zealand's best architectural writers and historians document the bungalow's complex past and its varied and eminently modifiable present."
