Sustainable Design Services in Whangarata, Waikato

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We have been using Nicola Manning Design for all our interior design work for the past 7 years and have found her to be not only a total professional and extremely skilled in what she does but also very easy to get on with. Her initial project was to redesign the entire interior of our house including the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, living areas and 4 bedrooms. More recently she has been helping us decide on an external colour scheme and some aesthetic improvements on some exterior cladding. All of her work for us has been of a high standard and we are extremely pleased with the results.”

“We bought a house that needs a lot of work. Boriana came to the place and gave us lots of different ideas what to do with the spaces. Very professional, understanding and arty. We are looking forward to work with her in near future.”

“Nat has been a great help in our retail project , her fees are not exuberant , service always professional and quick. We implemented all her suggestions in our store and it works very well - the flexibility she designed into a store really helped us through covid and curb pick up - who knew!”

“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.”
