Downsizing Services in Auckland

“I hired Anna from Cuthbert Interiors to provide consultancy services while we were renovating our family home. We ended up changing the entire interior of our house, Anna helped me choose colours, fabrics, textures and furniture for each room, from our family room with kitchen, our formal lounge and entrance to the kids bedrooms, bathrooms, master bedroom and study. Anna helped to create unique spaces for us to live in, entertain our family and friends in to be very proud of. Anna worked with me every step of the way, providing insight and advice and being very mindful of our budget. Anna would provide options and variations, took me to show rooms, made sure I was comfortable and happy with the decisions we were making. Anna worked with great speed and efficiency. She was honest and open and clearly had some fantastic connections both within New Zealand and globally to source products from. I could never have created this beautiful, stunning outcome without Anna, she was totally amazing.”

“I have used 5R Studio and worked with Margo on a number of occasions including several full renovation projects that included bathrooms, kitchens, changes to the layout and choosing internal and external colours. Some of the projects appeared challenging due to hidden issues, but despite this Margo was able to come up with clever solutions to keep cost down while not compromising on quality and end result. The real estate agents and people going through the open homes were always impressed with the properties and the way they were presented for sale. Margo is highly organised, responsive and extremely solution oriented. Her contractors and suppliers helped me keeping my budget under control. I would highly recommend her and 5R Studio to anyone considering not only undertaking a renovation but also for styling a home for sale or just changing the layout of a single room.”

“Jackie is a pleasure to work with, understood the brief, provided great options to work with, and was readily available to work through changes required. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie to anyone requiring a big or small design project. Best of all the outcome achieved for us looks amazing!”

“Danni-Lee was WONDERFUL in her help with our kitchen design and colour decisions of our new house build. I found building and designing a house overwhelming with how many permanent, expensive decisions had to be made but Danni-Lee made the process so easy. By asking us simple questions on our lifestyle, how we would use the house, what vision and taste we had she narrowed our choices down giving a few incredible options in the colours of our house inside and out. When it came to kitchen design now that was a whole new level of wow! Suggesting drawers over cupboards, suggesting dimensions which work for a family old and young, maximising storage and bench space.. she even managed to find room to create a huge storage/office area which would have otherwise been wasted space. If and when we build or renovate again we would definitely use Danni-Lee again as she saved us SO much time, money and stress! Thank you so much for helping create our dream space, we love it and get SO many compliments with people asking for our colours to use on their own home (friends new build interior, families exterior and friends exterior all going with Danni-Lee's colour suggestion) :)”

“Donna has designed two homes for me in Sydney in the past 3 years. I have been thrilled with the end result on both properties. Donna is great to work with and really listened to what I wanted to achieve. If I ever need design advice again I would definite use Donna.”

“Erina is a consummate professionale who has an excellent sense of color, style and design. She has helped us redesign our outside deck area, two living rooms and 2 bedrooms and we are thrilled with the results. Highly recommend her work.”

“We received durrant designs amazing consultations on our bathroom renovation. Jamie really thought through our space. She took on our needs and wants while also producing some really great ideas we hadn't thought to try. She was so thorough and that made us feel secure in our decision making progress. Something that could have taken weeks took a day to chose colours, lighting, layout, flooring, tiles etc. This helped us save so much time and money as we didn't make silly mistakes choosing the wrong things! I would highly recommend her services and we hope to have her consult with us again on our next renovation project. Thank you so much Jamie.”

“We engaged Lesley early in our renovation process (which is still ongoing) and she's been great in making suggestions (which have resulted in changes) to the plans. We love the fact she thinks about how people move in a house and how to set chairs/walls/storage etc up accordingly. We will be using Lesley to review final plans before they go for Council approval and I'll also be seeking her guidance when the house is nearly complete and we need to furnish and "dress" it. I also love the fact Lesley sends me emails randonly with photos of things we might like in the house. She sent us a picture of some light fittings which are on our list to buy as they're unique and gorgeous!”

“Hayley is one of the most inspiring young designers I have meet. Nothing is a challenge and everything is possible with her creative talent. Moving across from Commercial into Residential design has been effortless for her and the experience and knowledge she brings to her clients projects is extremely valuable. If you are looking for thinking outside the square and results beyond your expectations then look no further. She is a designer to be watching for sure.”

“Stacey was fantastic to work with. The ideas she put forward to us totally matched the vision we had described to her and absolutely what we had in mind. Stacey is professional, articulate and has a great eye for design. We would highly recommend her to any potential clients.”
