Winifred Lynch

Relationship

Client

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.

Thank you Winifred, it was such a pleasure working with you on your beautiful heritage home.

David and Karen Hadfield

Relationship

Client

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.

Thank you Karen and David, you two are so easy to work with, and I am loving all the different rooms as they get finished. I am really excited to see the next 2 spaces finished.

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.

Hello Maree, Thank you for your lovely review. I am hoping to get some photographs of your beautiful home soon.

Neil Edwards

I hired the company but I am a quantity surveyor involved in the construction industry. My wife and I have a strong interest in design and we consider that our expectations were realised in the work that Debra undertook.

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.

Rowena Hume

Relationship

Client

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.

Hello Rowena, thanks for the lovely review. I can't wait to see how your new bathroom turns out, and the additions we are doing for you kitchen

Robert Owen

Relationship

Client

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.

Comment from Debra DeLorenzo Interiors - One Ranfurly Ltd:

Dear Mr Owen,
This bathroom is very dear to me as it was the first design I won an award for.
I was surprised to hear of your concerns through Houzz as you had never contacted me or the builder directly. Neither the builder or I were made aware of any issues at the time or subsequently. We would have moved to rectify these issues if we had been told of them. The builder has never avoided doing remedial work when required.

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.

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.

I have worked with Debra Delorenzo on many projects over the last seven years. This year (2017) we have completed eleven projects with a few more still to finish before year end. Her bathroom and kitchen designs and working drawings are detailed and very easy to work with. Communication with Debra is great - she is easy to contact and responsive. Her finished product is outstanding and top quality. After completing each job I get a real sense of professional achievement.

Earthwork Landscape Architects

Relationship

Worked with pro

Debra has worked with me on quite a few projects (I am a Landscape Architect so we work together on projects occasionally) and I have yet to see one which isn't seriously imaginative, workable and received delightedly by her clients. I recommend her frequently to my clients when they are in need of some creative reworking of their interiors and it is always an inspiration to see what she comes up with! I especially appreciate her work on older character homes where her feel and respect for character is just spot on - and at the same time completely unique. Her work in these older homes is just stunning and I would recommend her without question to anyone wanting a designer who will celebrate the character of an older style home and at the same time push the boundaries a little to create something really special.

Hi Debra, Well you've done it again. I adore being able to do your drapery and cushion work. I love that you're not afraid of colour and will boldly go where "cream on cream designers" fear to tread. Keep up the great work you're a true gem in the industry bringing colour into many peoples lives.

We have searched long and hard for a decent interior decorator and so glad we found Deborah. Her strengths are: professionalism, experience, creativity, able to listen to the clients wishes and able to help make those hard to make decisions by steering you along the right path. Deborah has an amazing ability to make the right choices for whatever interior decorating challenge faces you. She has transformed our kitchen and taken our house into a new price bracket.

Heather McMillan

For us Debra has been the perfect design consultant. We have used her expertise over several projects since first meeting her in 2002. She listened to everything we wanted and took on board the things we didn't. She was always open to discuss ideas and never pushed anything on us. We ended up with a dream kitchen that we still loved ten years later when we sold our home. Working with Debs was so enjoyable we used her for renovating bathrooms the laundry and the kitchen in our home and also for colour scheme advice in numerous commercial and rental properties. She adds flair, taste and character. The bathrooms Deb designed for us were timeless, elegant, a delight to use and stunningly beautiful. Debra was extremely knowledgeable on fittings, colours, products and very good at pitching the design and components to fit the project and budget. We have moved from Wellington to the South Island and when the time comes to renovate we will happily use Deb again, willingly flying her to our next project.

Debra provided great advice on updating our lounge and kitchen areas. She made several visits to our home, met me at various outlets to show me her ideas, plus arranged to have items made for us. Thanks Debra for your vision and advice, we are delighted with the fresh new look you helped us to achieve.

Debra updated our Kitchen and bath rooms over the last few years. In both cases she walked the fine line of pushing us so that we had the amazing rooms she coudl envision and listening when we felt it was a step beyond where we wanted to go. The outcomes have been rooms that we are still extremely pleased with making the most of challenging spaces.

Debra designed three amazing bathrooms for me. I love them every time I walk in. She has a real flair for making a room special. Debra is really good at getting the ergonomics and practicalities right. She told me when what I wanted didn't make sense and why. I really appreciated that. But mostly, she has that WOW factor. The ability to make a room special through great design, attention to details and choices about furniture, fittings, lighting and color. She has a lot of experience in what works and what doesn't, and gives great advice on which new offerings are worth considering and which are not. Really fantastic value-added through design, at a reasonable price. She has my highest recommendation.

Debra from Debra DeLorenzo Interiors was soooo good for me. I am notoriously 'low risk' when doing home design things, and she took me outside my comfort zone, got me to look at things that I would not have in a million years. She tied it all together bringing new materials and textures in to combine with things I already had. She made made my rooms look fantastic - I am so pleased. I would highly recommend Debra to anyone. The money I spent for her services was tiny compared to the continued joy I get from my rooms.

Deb helped me design my new bathroom and toilet which were extremely small and very challenging to be able to include all the things I wanted. I'm hugely happy with the result. Deb's extensive experience in interior decor and design is something I hold in very high regard and would highly recommend her for small to large jobs.

John Faisandier

Relationship

We used Debra to help us with the design of our kitchen. She helped us work through our ideas to get our ideal kitchen. Debra added plenty of her own ideas but didn't force them on us, rather let us work out what exactly would work best for us. We had a small space to work with and this pushed the boundaries of design, but Deb helped us get there with great creativity. We now have the best kitchen! We trusted Deb so much with the kitchen design that we got her to do our bathrooms, again with tight space limitations, and again we came up with fabulous designs that really work for us. Then it was time to select the colours for the whole house and here Deb really came into her own. My wife Sally had a theme in mind and Deb pointed her towards a number of creative options, critiqued what Sally proposed and helped confirm the final choices. Deb stayed involved with us right through the installation of the kitchen and the purchase and making of curtains, wall paper and other decorations. We are really grateful to her for her attention to detail, organizing contractors and sorting out any little glitches that arose. I highly recommend her.
