Bespoke Interior Designer - Best Of Houzz Winner

page_type: prop_plus_profile

It’s lovely to meet you! I am delighted that, in your search for an interior designer, you are considering my talents for your home which is, of course, one of the biggest investments you will ever make in your lifetime. In a nutshell, my designs are like snowflakes with no two ever being the same. Each of my bespoke projects speaks to your personal aesthetic, goals for use, lifestyle and preferred colour palette. Nothing is ever forced upon my clients from budget to concept, to timeline. You will never be handed a completed room design with everything selected according to my opinions and preferences for your space. That’s just not how I work! Rather, from start to finish my room designs are a fluid, organic, process with client input every step of the way. This is indeed a unique approach to interior design but with clients returning year after year to craft areas in their beloved homes - tells me I am doing something very right. With my decades of experience delivering bespoke interior design projects in Auckland, as a customer, you can leverage my relationships with retailers and contractors to secure the best prices for materials and services. Over time, I have hand-picked professionals in construction and manufacturing to work their magic in your home. On your own, selections for furniture, fabrics, flooring and more can seem limited and over-priced in Auckland. I invite you to use my savvy to open up a whole new world of choices you would not otherwise have at your fingertips. So much of what makes me a unique and recognized interior designer in the region comes from my experience honing my skills to make my processes streamlined, efficient and always on point. I’m not your average interior designer, employing an understanding of the fundamentals of Interior Design I instinctively put together taste, style, pattern and colour to create for you a home which is a pleasure to live in. Good interior design is about creating real homes and spaces that work for those living or working within them and with elegance and timeless appeal. I can also take the stress out of your interior design project, managing your renovations, recommending and/or liaising with the other trades and professionals to ensure you get what you want and that you realise your vision.

I engaged Anna to manage the design and renovation of my entire house. Kitchen, floors, repaint, 2 new bathrooms. A major project over two phases, one where I was present and another when I was away. She provided design advice, materials and trades from her set of trusted supplies. Anna transformed the house while paying careful attention to what I was looking for. I'm delighted with how it turned out. Anna managed the project and things went smoothly and were on time. Any problems were quickly rectified.

Very happy with the service received from Anna at Cuthbert Interiors. Anna listens to your requirements including budget and offers great ideas and then manages all suppliers to ensure the best result. Our project was a complete refurbish with a limited budget. We are delighted with the outcome, I couldn’t have done without her. Totally recommend Anna.

Anna did a great job helping sort our living room. She quickly understood what we were wanting and what would suit our taste and budget. Anna came up with excellent options for furniture and fabrics, and we are delighted with the results. Anna was always easy to communicate with and prompt with replies. We would not hesitate to recommend her services.

I was nervous about employing an interior design professional. I was concerned I would not be completely satisfied with the result. I should not have worried as all my expectations were exceeded. Anna was amazing! Anna worked with me to express my ideas on what I wanted for my room. She is highly skilled in knowing what is suitable. I appreciated her easy going professional nature in not pressuring me to follow a time line to complete the job. My family and I are delighted with our ‘green room’. It is worth all the money spent. Thank you Anna.

Anna has been fantastic to work with, I find she really listens to what you want and presents you with great selections that suit your tastes, and will also suggest an option that may have not been in your scope (you may surprise yourself). It made a huge difference to us when we were having to choose colour schemes for such a large space which could have gone horribly wrong if we did this on our own. I always imagined engaging an interior designer would be daunting but can truly say that Anna made the experience pleasant, easy-going and would go through the process again.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Anna last year while modernising the interior of our 16 year old home. Anna knew from the start exactly what we were after and the end result is brilliant, we love it. Anna was always available and full of recommendations for any questions we had. I thoroughly recommend Anna and would employ her again in the future if the opportunity arises.

Anna has been fabulous in assisting us with the full interior design of our 2 bedroom modern apartment which had just been built. Apartment living is a different life style and this was a different space for us and we knew we had to start with a new look. After our initial meeting with Anna, I felt confident that she would be the ideal interior designer for us. She is a strong listener and she understood that we were starting with a completely unfurnished and undecorated space. Anna came up with a concept for a modern, fresh and contemporary look. She brought her experience, efficiency and style to the project and pulled the whole apartment together. The end result is a fresh and spacious look and thanks to Anna we have turned our apartment into a comfortable and stylish home. We both love it. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Anna who is warm and friendly and very easy to work with.

We contacted Anna to advise us on painting the interior of our house. It was all white, and hadn't been touched for nearly 20 years. I wanted something different, but needed guidance on what would work. She came in, saw immediately what was needed and made some wonderful suggestions. We just love the finished result, and people are amazed that our house is 20 years old, the paint colours have just made it all look so different.

I love working with Anna, she is very professional and super easy to deal with! I've only met her last year for the first time during my presentation to her design group and we now supply light fittings for some of her projects. Since my presentation, we have been working together on a regular basis and establishing a good relation based on trust and mutual understanding. She understands lighting very well so it didn't take her long to understand all the technical details of our products. I find she integrates very well lighting in her project considering also all the other elements in the same space. I also like that she is got her design ideas but she is also open to suggestions and changes to achieve the best outcomes. I'm glad we got to meet each other and I look forward to keep working with her this year!

Through an introduction from a previous client.

We are thrilled with the final result of our kitchen renovation. it is fabulous and we would never have achieved this result without Anna's expertise. The ideas she came up with were fantastic, resulting in making any decisions that much easier. We found Anna to be very professional and friendly in her approach to us and the Tradespeople. We left her in charge while we were overseas for 4 weeks of the renovation and any problems that came up she dealt with. We would both highly recommend Anna

We were just a little bit worried that Anna might be too overqualified for the interior design and fit-out of our small Consulate for Mongolia here in Newmarket, Auckland. Any such worries were unfounded. Anna provided outstanding service and advice, appropriate for our budget. Our little office is much more stylish and enjoyable to work in than we could ever have anticipated, while the cost was much less than expected - both in terms of the cost of the furniture and fit out and Anna's fees. We would recommend her to any organisation - large, medium, small or, like us, tiny.

Thanks Anna for making my life so much easier! I dreaded the job of trying to decide curtaining fabrics as there are just so many out there. You made everything easier by finding out what we needed, then brought selected samples for approval. If not for you, we still wouldn't have them now!

We have known and used Anna for many years. She organised the design and manufacture of our new kitchen and two upstairs bathrooms for our family home. She provided advice on furniture and cushions for our family room and did the same for our beach house including curtains. We have been very happy working with Anna. She has good ideas and attends to things promptly. We will continue to use her.

I have been working with Anna for the past 6 months on various projects throughout my house. We have made over a bedroom including everything from the furniture, soft furnishings to the ensuite bathroom. I have been really inpressed how Anna is able to interpret my brief then add the sparkle with her design ideas while at the same time being very aware of the practical aspects. This makes all the difference to creating spaces with WOW and functionality. We have started a project on the playroom and following that is the gym. The services is prompt, professional and fun.

I did not know what to do with my living room. Anna was so helpful, efficient and of course has excellent taste and ideas. A surprise to me was that Anna could source some items at a better price than was available to me on the market so overall she was really cost effective. Thanks so much!

In working with Cuthbert Interiors on this project, we found Anna to be very well organised e.g all plumbing fittings and cabinets on site. Her organisational skills included following up any issues immediately to ensure the continued smooth running of the project. The outcome of the project was very pleasing to all involved. We would be very happy to work with Cuthbert Interiors on any future projects.

We cannot rave about Cuthbert Interiors enough. Anna has provided outstanding service and guidance for our latest interior design projects. She totally 'got' our family and style, and went the extra mile to find the perfect fabrics for us. We have new blinds for our 10 year old's room which have been a huge hit - fun, interesting but also timeless. We have recovered and brought to life 3 ancient chairs with quite different moods - one with glorious fun fabric combinations, one more classic but bringing a modern edge , and the other simply beautiful and elegant. We love quality, colour, quirkiness and style, and Anna has delivered on all fronts. Her approach is down to earth, friendly and open and she provides prompt, efficient service. We never felt pressured to make a decision and she kept coming back with more options until we were completely happy, and knew we had it absolutely right. Cuthbert Interiors is a superb choice for high-end interior design solutions, and we will definitely use them again.

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.
