Netballer Storm Purvis makes over her rental’s bedroom every time the season or her mood changes. The latest incarnation is a tranquil space with a soft colour palette, ornate decorations and a little rock-and-roll attitude to throw it all together
There are so many fun ways to do up a space without renovating and I’ve been lucky enough to experiment with many of them over my eight years of flatting,” says netball star Storm Purvis. After making her Silver Ferns debut in 2016, Storm has recently returned to Auckland to play for the SkyCity Mystics. Her bedroom in the Westmere townhouse she shares with three others is where she unwinds from the fast-paced action on court and hones her decorating skills.
How would you describe your interior style?
Constantly changing! My room could reflect my outlook on life at the time, or the season, or could be based purely around a single interior item I’ve fallen in love with. Not so long ago my room was really different to this. It was a white-out filled with indoor plants, Indian-themed wall hangings and lots of crazy little pieces I found at stores like The Third Eye on K Road.
