Real estate agent Anthony Deyn shares his "minimalist yet characterful" home in St Albans, Christchurch. He creates a sanctuary by balancing clean lines and concrete floors with vibrant, colourful art that adds joy without sacrificing a sense of calm.

A key recommendation is investing in outdoor louvres, which he says doubled their living space by making it usable in all seasons. Anthony also highlights the benefits of a spa for unwinding and the advantages of living in St Albans.
