Three homegrown brands have collaborated to provide insight into how top colour trends for 2021 are interpreted within the New Zealand lifestyle and design ethos.

“A rolling organic shape that defies seating, hand crafted with the use of modern machinery to create furniture on a global scale.”


New Zealand designed and manufactured, the Harper Chair by David Shaw is the canvas upon which these colour trends are explored. Made to order at their design house in Christchurch, the Harper chair draws its inspiration from the natural lines of our landscapes. Its organic shape emulating the natural movements and shapes of New Zealands beloved coastal regions and mountains. Constructed from sustainable timbers, the Harper chair holds the colours and texture of the Vintage Deux by Mokum velvet fabric beautifully, reflecting the truest essence of the colours in question.

“Colour trends inspired by our New Zealand landscapes, bringing calm and comfort.”


While nature itself has long been a common inspiration for home décor, in New Zealand this is particularly true as we are heavily influenced by our diverse and striking surroundings. Globally trending colours, blues, greens and blacks are epitomised in our unique tonal variations that can be found in our native forests, extensive coastlines and high country landscapes.

Hi Hamilton,

Would you be put off by a health warning at your local swimming spot?

Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season this year.

Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Some of these sites have had consistently low scoring that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming.

Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made hazardous by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.

Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments featured in the conversations section of your local paper.

Care Labelling

It is mandatory under the Consumer Information Standards (Care Labelling) Regulations 2000 for many new textile goods supplied in New Zealand to comply with specific sections of the Standard AS/NZS 1957:1998 Textiles – Care labelling.

The purpose of the care labelling consumer information standard is to make sure that:
• consumers are aware of the method and cost of caring for textile products when they are buying them
• a cleaner can confidently use the information to take care of the textiles
• the textile’s life is not shortened by inappropriate care information or no information

• the textile is not damaged or destroyed by inappropriate care.

It is illegal to supply textile goods that do not comply with this standard and the regulations.

The regulations set out the types of textile goods covered by the standard and what parts of the standard apply to New Zealand.


The standard sets out the words, terms and symbols to use on a label to show the correct way to care for textile goods, including dry-cleaning and washing.


The regulations are issued under section 27 of the Fair Trading Act 1986.

Who do the regulations apply to?

Any person supplying, offering to supply or advertising the supply of new textiles, that require care labelling information, must comply with the regulations. Any person includes retailers, importers, distributors and manufacturers.


Types of supply include textile goods for sale in a shop, on internet auction sites, at markets or stalls or in craft shops.

What textile items have to be labelled with care information?
The care labelling standard contains more details and requirements, some of which are very technical. You should read both the regulations and the standard to make sure you understand all the labelling requirements.

Hi all.
But of situation here.
I got one of those "grumpy old man" neighbour who is a bit abusive, grumpy, f words to every sentence (he is a pakeha).

Examples of what he's done...
Two years ago he called me names in front of my 7yo kids because I was giggling when he told me I should cut my tree down because the leaves were going to his gutter and driveway.
Two weeks ago he cut the wire that holds my clothes line and it was wrapping around the fence post. Rather than talking to me to remove the wire he decided to cut it. That wire had been there for ages way before I bought the house he never complained about it. When I asked him why he had done it, he gave me the finger telling me to "get f'ed" and "keep my f* stuff in my side of the fence"

Anywho.... One other neighbour told me yesterday he saw the Grumpy neighbour inside my property looking along the fence between both houses.
He shouldn't be there to start. It's my property. He didn't do anything around. Nothing had been handled or moved. But he was there....

My question ... Is it possible to get a trespass order from police without evidence?
I really don't want to have to deal with the neighbour. Don't want to talk to him.
What's the best I can do to make sure he will not step inside my property?
I can't prove anything at this stage. I got No videos or photos.

Thanks in advance
