Debra DeLorenzo Interiors One Ranfurly Ltd

Debra was referred to us by residents in our street who were delighted with the replacement kitchen design and installation she did for them. We have an older house with a tired kitchen. We needed someone sympathetic to the character and style of our home and to our wishes. Debra's design and direction succeeded in every way. Our relationship with Debra was excellent throughout the project. We enjoyed meeting her team of workmen and were happy to have them in our home under her direction while the project was underway and we were overseas. The work included removing old linoleum and polishing the jarrah floorboards, new fittings, lighting, benches, cupboards and drawer layouts, and a bespoke extract system in our chimney. We recommend Debra.

After much soul searching over the design of our new kitchen in our 1912 homestead, we were fortunate to engage Debra to help. She understood perfectly the balance between modernity and our desire to keep faith with the age and style of our home. She delivered a spectacular design which we loved from the minute she put it to paper, with the final product being beyond our expectations. Debra’s brief widened and we now have a beautifully furnished family room, lounge and are currently moving through the house under her guidance and flair to design. Many thanks Debra for your help so far.

Debra designed the kitchen for my renovation and the interior design including colours, wallpapers, light fittings and fit-out of bathrooms. Debra is fantastic to work with, takes her time to listen to what you are looking for and then helps you to find something that works for you. I loved working with Debra and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a designer.

We first engaged Debra for the design of our bathrooms in our existing house in Woburn Lower Hutt. As we were delighted with the outcome we appointed Debra for our new home in Petone, Lower Hutt where she designed the kitchen,two bathrooms,laundry,bedroom wardrobe fittings and interior design generally. Again we were very impressed with the result. We would have no hesitation in appointing Debra in the future.

I just can't speak highly enough about Debra. She had provided design advice to us for the last couple of years as we have slowly updated our home. No job is too big or too small and she has put just as much energy to the tiny jobs along the way as the bigger ones. Her communication has been excellent, she has listened to what we want to do, worked within our budget, challenged us sometimes, and I've absolutely loved all her design suggestions which have taken our ideas to another level.

Debra was involved in design and project management of renovations to our bathroom and kitchen a number of years ago. We made most design and product decisions. Debra sourced subcontractors and custom built units. Unfortunately most of the build work was sub-standard and cost us a significant amount over the 5-10 years after project completion to rectify. The builder she used for the job was Kendall Payne. We are still finding issues with build quality today.

Deb knows her stuff - and want we don't know we want! Great skills at finding lovely things all over town, and a great team of contractors too. Complete faith and confidence :)

Debra is colourful and she really know how to use her fair applying it customer requirements. I engage Debra to come up with carpet, curtain and furniture selections for my new home. After a single consultation meeting Debra returned with fantastic samples and I quickly selected various pieces. Then Debra got everything ordered and installed where needed. I absolutely love what Debra has created for me. Later I engaged Debra as I want remote control roman blinds for a room with 5 floor to ceiling windows. Again she suggested some terrific fabrics and then organised the manufacture and installation. Debra also recommended a landscape architect that I selected to work with. The architect said Debra is the queen of colour.

Debra is qualified, professional, friendly and incredibly creative. She is a pleasure to work with, and is always thinking outside the box. Thoroughly enjoyed my time and meetings with her!!

I found Debra listened carefully to what we wanted and needed in our kitchen. She translated our family’s personality and style into a fabulous kitchen that complemented both the rest of our house and the environment that it sits in. Debra is extremely professional and will find a solution to suit your budget. We also found the trades people she uses very professional and all provided a high quality service with a high quality finish. My advice to prospective clients would be to think on any design ideas that take you outside your comfort zone - and then say yes to them. We have found these ideas to be the ones that give us the most pleasure. Our kitchen is such a joy that we have gone right back to her and had our bathrooms redesigned. Can’t wait for end results on these.

I have worked closely with Debra for close to three years now and have always found her very easy to deal with. She always has her clients best interests at heart and is extremely thorough from the beginning of the project right through to completion and beyond. Debra has an amazing attention to detail and is very accomplished in her field. In an industry where there seems to be many companies that dictate to their clients what they should have, Debra appears to take on board her clients needs and incorporates this into a design that is both practical and stylish. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any of my clients and have had nothing but praise from her previous clients that I have dealt with.

We have been working with Debra on many projects over the last 6 years. We really enjoy working with her and have found her to be very organised and professional. She has a great understanding of customers needs and creates stunning spaces with top quality finishes.
