Debra DeLorenzo Interiors - One Ranfurly Ltd

Debra DeLorenzo is a specialist Wellington interior designer who has transformed design philosophy into an art form. Sought after to create fabulous spaces around the world, Debra's flair for interior design is recognised in the many kitchen and bathroom design awards she has won. Debra’s study of architecture, art, and culinary skills means her designs are hugely artistic and yet grounded in practicality. This combination of form and functionality is at the heart of her design philosophy. Technology for the sake of technology has led to an explosion of gadgets and devices. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Her interiors are warm and inviting. Our homes are part of our humanity and the spaces we live in should both excite and comfort us. Rooms should evoke a desire to linger. Debra’s number one passion is kitchen design. This has grown out of her love of food and cooking. “A kitchen designer needs to understand how to cook.” Debra was the owner of a successful cafe and catering business as well as a commercial caterer in London. “I learned to cook at a young age but refined my skills in London.” Combining all elements of texture, functionality, pattern, and colour she has developed her own unique style. Researching ensures her designs are at the cutting edge of possibilities. “Anyone can copy a look. Anyone can use a colour that has been used before. I prefer to redefine a space, by using every tool available to make something new yet still familiar.”
