Sharon Cross Interior Design

Back in 1998 Sharon Cross Interiors were recommended to Angela and myself by a close friend that at the time was working on Sharon's projects. Since then Sharon has completed the interior of two more of our homes and is in the final stages of refitting the first home twenty years later. We have found Sharon to be very positive and completely dedicated to the project with the ability to visualize the finished product. Sharon kept us informed throughout the projected keeping it within the budget and completing on time. Although the above are important to running a project the most exciting and pleasurably experience is seeing all the materials, colour and fabrics merging together to form a wonderful environment. In our opinion Sharon's ability to visualize outside the square is what makes a professional designer one step ahead of the rest

We could never have done this complex heritage category 2 villa renovation without Sharon. I struggled to find someone who had the talent and the vision to take on such a project until we found her. She was also able to put together an excellent team of reliable contractors and managed them very well. Best of all, we had plenty of interesting discussions on the best way to address some of the work.

We have supplied Sharon with many bespoke and current stock items over the past 15 years. Sharon is always a pleasure to deal with, she has a great eye for detail and knows what she wants, she loves offering clients a point of difference which we love to help her achieve.

Sharon has looked after interior design in 3 houses for me over some years and each time the greatest care was taken to ensure the final "look" suited both the house and the client. The project- management of my present house was very efficient, both interior decorating and re-landscaping the garden. I was absolutely delighted with everything that Sharon chose and the result is a blend of design and style perfect for me.

Sharon Cross designed and project managed major renovations to our kitchen and master bathroom. Sharon took the time to really "get us" so we loved virtually every idea she proposed. Our house is a 100-year-old villa so we wanted to remain true to the house but also project an urban vibe, in keeping with our innercity location. Sharon was extremely knowledgable about materials, trends, colour and fittings. She works with a trusted team of suppliers and tradespeople which saves hours of decision-making and liaison. Finally, Sharon is a delightful, bubbly person who gives you confidence to move outside your comfort zone. We are thrilled with the result and happily recommend her.

Sharon was introduced to me by way of a referral from a client of mine who had renovated houses. I have a 250sqm office in Parnell Auckland which was disgusting when we purchased it. We employed the services of Sharon and the whole process from start to finish was very easy and we ended up with an office interior far better than I could have imagined. The complex we are in became a "leaky building" over time and 10 years after moving in, we re-employed Sharon to come in a re do the interior and we have a very sleek and stylish office! Staff and customers love it! We then built a large house on a 11 Acre block in South Auckland.This was the first house we had ever built and it was all a bit daunting to be honest as we didn't want to get our dream home wrong. The house is now 11 years old and thanks to Sharon's advice, to finish it with "top quality fittings" was great advice. We have not had to replace anything major and the house is like as new. It pays to spend the money at the start and you get the returns later on. In comparison we purchased a very nice house in the city which is 8 years old which was obviously finished with average quality fittings. Door handles falling off, ovens, TV's brokens, doors falling off etc.... Sharon is also very good at getting results for her "Clients" and works hard to achieve great results by working with the Architect and Builders. I have used Sharon for 4 properties and referred her to others as well. Thanks Marty

Sharon is creative and responsive. I love her sense of colour. She loves freedom to explore new and exciting ideas. She gets things done! Sharon has assisted our family on many varied and challenging projects for over 20 years. She has produced some stunning results for us in a variety of circumstances. She has particular experience in providing living and working spaces that work for people in wheelchairs. As well as fantastic interior and exterior designs, Sharon has project managed many of our projects - from beach houses, to redecorating our home of 25 years several times, to building a new house for our disabled son. Her most recent project for us was a redo of our basement laundry - beautiful and bright, and she is currently working on a retro kitchen refit for our beach house.
