Interior Styling

Feeling like your home decor is stuck in a style rut? does that rut involved endlessly scrolling furniture websites until your brain melts.

Fear not, design disaster is averted! We're here to be your interior design superheroes.

Here's the deal: you tell us about your dream space (wine and cheese night central? Minimalist haven?), we unleash our inner design detectives to find the perfect pieces, and voila! A curated collection that'll make your neighbors peek in with envy.

We can tackle your entire home or just a specific room that's giving you grief. Plus, we can handle the installation, so you can skip the whole "how-do-I-even-lift-this?" struggle.

Basically, we take the stress out of creating a space you love. So ditch the design dread and let's get your home looking hot (or cool, whatever your vibe is).

Interior Design

Feeling the Interior Design Decision Fatigue? We Got You! Just bought a new place? Over your grandma's floral wallpaper? Finally building your dream house (lucky duck!)

Hold onto your paint brushes, because the decision avalanche is about to hit. Paint colours? A million. Tiles? Enough to pave a small country. Kitchen Tap? More knobs than a vintage radio factory!  

Fear not, overwhelmed friend! We're your interior design dream team, here to rescue you from the decision vortex.  

We love whipping up dream kitchens, spa-worthy bathrooms, and interiors so balanced they'll make feng-shui masters weep with joy.  

To make things smoother than a freshly paved driveway, we create:

Spec sheets + Moodboards: Think of them as the cheat codes for your project, listing all the furniture, fixtures and finishes so you don't have to memorise anything. 

Detailed floorplans: No more staring at house plans like they're a secret decoder ring. You'll see exactly how everything fits. 

3D Renders (when applicable): Basically, imagine a magic window showing your finished space before you even swing a hammer.

So ditch the decision dread and let us take the guesswork out of your project! We'll get your home looking like it stepped straight out of a magazine (or your wildest Pinterest board, no judgment).  

How do we work?

here is a snapshot into our our projects roll.
Project Brief

Spill the Beans! We Gotta Know Your Design Dreams. We all know the saying: the devil wears Prada... but when it comes to design, the devil's in the details! That's why this step is our design BFF. We gotta get to know you better than your favorite pair of fuzzy slippers. What makes you tick? What's your design dream (cool contemporary? Cozy cabin vibes?) We'll also dig into the nitty-gritty details (don't worry, it won't be painful!). We'll create a super-charged project brief that maps out your must-haves and, of course, the all-important budget. Once we have your stamp of approval, it's time to unleash the design magic! Get ready to rock and roll with a space that reflects your unique style.

Concept

Drumroll, please... it's time to reveal the magic! We'll unveil everything you need to see your dream space come to life, like a sneak peek into the future with your name on it. Get ready to feel all the textures and swoon over the perfect paint colors! We will have your specification schedules, floorpans, moodboards, 3D renders and anything else to help you see the vision. We want you to be 100% obsessed with your design, so don't be shy! We'll tweak and refine everything until your vision is brought to life perfectly.

Furniture + Styling Procurement

We're the Order Ninjas and Your Project's Biggest Fan! We've got all the furniture wrangling covered. We'll order everything you need and stash it safely in our secret (not-so-secret) warehouse. Now, lead times can be a real party pooper, right? We totally get the frustration. That's why we become your project's biggest cheerleader, figuring out your finish date and making sure all the bits and bobs arrive like a perfectly timed confetti explosion – all at once! No more waiting games or wondering where that missing table leg went. We'll have your space ready to rock on schedule, with everything in place and ready to shine.

Construction Assistance

If your dream space needs a little muscle before we can work our magic. No worries, we can often recommend some amazing trade wizards who'll get things ready for your grand finale. But here's the thing: construction can be a bit of a jungle gym. Even with detail drawings and specification schedules, questions can pop up faster than popcorn kernels, and issues might sprout like unexpected weeds. Fear not, fearless friend! Even though we hand the project back to you for the construction phase, we're never far. Think of us as your design cheerleaders and question-quashing ninjas. We're always here to offer advice, guidance, accompany site inspections and a high five (or ten) to keep you motivated. So, relax, breathe easy, and know that we've got your back (and your dream space) covered!

Installation

Brace Yourself for the Big Reveal (and Maybe a Few Happy Tears) Remember how excited you were about the initial design concept? Well, hold onto your hats because the finished space is about to blow your mind! We've seen it all: clients speechless with joy, some might even shed a happy tear or two. But one thing's for sure – nobody's ever fully prepared for this level of amazingness. Forget the unpacking marathon, the flat-pack furniture assembly party (that always ends in arguments!), and the "where the heck does this go?" decorating struggle. We'll have everything looking ship-shape, sparkling like a disco ball, and smelling like a dream come true! Oh, and did we mention there's always a celebratory glass of bubbly waiting? Because creating your dream home deserves a toast! So get ready to say goodbye to the cardboard graveyard and hello to a space you'll absolutely adore. This is the grand finale you've been waiting for!

That's why we offer a magic trick – we can handle all the unboxing, furniture building, and strategic furniture placement. So, instead of a weekend of frustration, you can walk into a finished space that's ready to be enjoyed!

Homewares might sound like a fancy word for, well, stuff. But these little guys are the finishing touches that take your space from "meh" to "magazine-worthy masterpiece"! Think of them like the accessories for your home. We're talking cushions that make you wanna snuggle, throws that add a cozy vibe, and all the other jazz that makes your space sing.

But hold on, there's more! We can also be your one-stop shop for full home fit-outs. Just imagine: you built a dream vacation home, but it's a blank canvas. No worries! We'll provide a list you can check off, from kitchen essentials (think dinnerware, cutlery, and all the gadgets) to a pantry stocked with the basics. We can even take care of linens (like fluffy towels, crisp sheets, and cozy throws) and appliances (like hairdryers and vacuums) – basically, everything you need to turn that empty house into a home sweet home in a flash! So, whether you need a sprinkle of styling magic or a complete home makeover, we've got you covered. Let's ditch the blank canvas and create a space that's as unique and awesome as you are!

Renovating or building your home can feel like a never-ending to-do list that haunts your dreams (literally – 3am toilet selection panic, anyone?). But fear not, We're here to banish the overwhelm and ensure every detail is nailed down before the trades roll in.

Space planning is like a magic trick where you use furniture placement, flow, and a sprinkle of creativity to transform your room into a functional and fabulous oasis. Think of it as a map for your furniture, ensuring everything has a purpose and a perfect spot, leaving you with a balanced space that feels both stylish and oh-so-comfortable.

Here's the beauty of it all: you get to choose your adventure!

  • Full Home Makeover: Feeling like your entire house needs a refresh? We'll design every room, creating a cohesive flow that makes your home feel like a masterpiece. 
  • Room by Room Rescue: Need a focused fix? We can tackle specific spaces, like turning your living room into a movie night haven or creating a bedroom that's a sleep sanctuary. 

We've even had clients who started with a living room transformation and then came back for a bedroom makeover – because once you experience the magic, you won't want to stop!

P.S. We're experts at those "tricky" spaces, the ones that leave you scratching your head. Bring on the oddly shaped rooms and awkward corners – we'll turn them into your favorite spots!

Let's face it, kitchens are the hardest working space of the home. They're where meals are made, memories are shared, and late-night fridge raids happen (we've all been there). That's why we don't mess around with kitchen design – it's gotta be both beautiful and super functional.

We'll whip up a design that's as easy to navigate as a perfectly labeled spice rack. We're talking ample storage space for all your culinary gadgets (no more spatula Jenga!), smooth traffic flow for stress-free cooking (say goodbye to dance-offs with the dishwasher!), and a layout that makes every meal prep a breeze.

But wait, there's more! Because a beautiful kitchen is the cherry on top of the perfectly baked cake. We'll help you create a space that looks as good as it works, with stunning finishes and a design that reflects your unique style.

Think of your bathroom as a spa escape. We'll help you craft a space that's both beautiful and functional. Imagine:

  • Showers fit for royalty (or at least royalty wannabes). No more wrestling with a wimpy shower head – we'll create a rain shower experience that'll make you feel like you're getting massaged by a cloud. 
  • Sinks that are as stunning as they are practical. Pedestal sinks? Double vanities? We'll help you find the perfect option for both your style and your needs. 
  • Storage solutions that make Marie Kondo proud. No more bathroom counter clutter! We'll find clever ways to stash away all your toiletries, keeping things tidy and stylish. 
  • Lighting that sets the mood. Bright and functional for mornings, or soft and calming for a relaxing soak – we'll create the perfect ambiance for any time of day. 

So, ditch the bathroom blues and let's create a space that's your own personal oasis! We'll help you find the perfect balance between relaxation and functionality, making your bathroom a room you'll actually enjoy spending time in.

Bonus tip: Don't forget the fun stuff! Playful towels, a statement bathmat, or some quirky artwork can add a touch of personality to your bathroom haven.

Here's why a well-designed laundry and mudroom are game-changers:

  • Boost Your Efficiency: Say goodbye to laundry day drama. Smart storage and organization will make washing, drying, and folding a breeze. 
  • Conquer the Chaos: Mud and clutter won't stand a chance! Your mudroom will be a well-oiled machine, keeping your entryway tidy and welcoming. 
  • Add a Touch of You: Don't forget the fun stuff! We can incorporate pops of color, playful patterns, or even a statement light fixture to make your laundry and mudroom feel special. 

So, ditch the laundry day dread and the mudroom mayhem! Let's create a space that's both hardworking and stylish, making your home run a little smoother (and a lot less messy).

P.S. We know laundry rooms and mudrooms can be small spaces. But fear not, we're experts at maximizing functionality in even the most compact areas.

Custom cabinetry allows you to create built-in awesomeness that perfectly fits your space, style, and needs. Say goodbye to awkward gaps and hello to cabinets that hug your walls like a well-loved sweater.

  • Wardrobes: Ditch the overflowing closet and create a stylish storage solution for all your fashion treasures. 
  • Living rooms: Say goodbye to bulky entertainment centers and hello to sleek built-in shelves that showcase your favorite books, movies, and maybe even a hidden bar (because, why not?). 
  • Offices: Conquer clutter and create a workspace that inspires productivity with custom cabinets designed for all your office essentials.

Who am I?

Well hello there!

I am Kate, a qualified Interior Designer. I started my career with a full service studio in Brisbane, before moving to Wanaka. I have had the privilege of working with some amazing clients and homes over the years. I guess you could say I am the creative brains behind the business and a walking encyclopedia of products and where to find them. I believe Design is more than the way something looks, good design should improve your life. Interior design, is about creating spaces that make us feel great happiness.

I love creating Interiors that make clients take a deep sigh and relax into their homes when they walk through the door, brushing off that hectic feeling of the world outside.

My inspiration usually comes from nature. Some of my favourite things to use within designs, are hand printed fabrics, natural materials and finishes to create beautiful interiors, that are bold yet uncomplicated.  Simple yet elegant.  I believe this connection between the inside and out is what creates a balanced Interior and gives us that relaxed feeling.

I guess you could describe the style as “Relaxed Contemporary”, but I don’t really like to roll with these titles, and rather get to the heart of what you love and create an Interior which is unique like you!

You are the heart of your home, not a kitchen as the saying goes. I believe that great design should be centred around the inhabitants.

The intention behind Interior Design is to create functional spaces, which in turn should make our life easier. The magic is bringing this functionality about in a way that creates a beautiful space.

Thank you for sticking around!

Feeling the design itch and ready to transform your space? We're here to make it happen! Think of it as a welcome pack on steroids. We'll pack it with info about our process, design tips, and maybe even a sprinkle of design inspiration (because who doesn't love a good before-and-after?).
