Du Bois Design Ltd

We contacted Natalie because we'd seen her work in some magazines and liked her interpretation of English style kitchens, having worked in the UK for some top kitchen design/build companies. We asked her to come up with some ideas that would make our kitchen work better than the already good one we had but it was getting tired after 20+ years. It had to be in keeping with the villa style of the house and look like antique furniture rather than an add-on. The results are nothing short of sensational. We are absolutely delighted with the beautiful details of all the special things she designed or selected like the custom cornices and door/drawer mouldings, display shelves and cabinets with discreet but incredibly effective strip lighting, a marble-like finish on the quartzite bench top (more durable and practical) with finely detailed edging and much much more. She went to enormous lengths to get the best suppliers and trades people on the job, selecting the colour and finish perfectly for the solid timber cabinetry, the bench edge and every other conceivable detail. I am an industrial designer and my partner is a fashion designer so we had our own ideas. Natalie took those and turned them into something truly exceptional. We debated many of her ideas, always ending up agreeing on something that worked for us. Even our laundry is a show piece with display shelves for our vases, a quartzite splashback and brass fittings in keeping with the rest of the house. If you want a beautiful kitchen and/or laundry), we strongly recommend Natalie. In fact we are already talking to her about our bathrooms :-)

I can highly recommend Natalie Du Bois and thank her for our amazing new kitchen, bathroom and lounge room. Natalie is an expert at creating unique designs for your entire house that incorporates current trends whilst ensuring that your important rooms, especially the kitchen and bathroom, are functional for everyday use. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Natalie and appreciated that she took the time to understand our needs during the design process and that she was meticulous throughout our project. I highly recommend Natalie.

We absolutely love the Kitchen and 5 bathrooms Natalie designed for us. She completely got the look we were going for but more than that she thought of everything when it came to layout/practical use. Her finishing touches and the finer details are what have made our project stand out from the rest. Also, from a cost control P.O.V, her plans and specs were so detailed that there were no hidden costs or surprises. I would recommend Natalie 100 percent.

Natalie proved to be worth her weight in gold after helping us renovate our entire home. She designed a completely new kitchen, chose our paint colours, floor coverings and light fittings throughout the house. Natalie project managed the entire process and impressed us with her attention to detail. She is highly competent at working with plans and drawings and has a natural talent of being able to visualise the end product from both a spatial and aesthetic point of view. We achieved our goal of selling our home. Buyers said they couldn't fault the finish of our home and said the kitchen was impressive. We would definitely use Natalie's expertise again.

Natalie was recommended to me via another designer who thought very highly of her. Working with Natalie really highlighted to me how much is involved in any kitchen design, and how important detail, quality and communication within the whole team is. Natalie has beautiful and elegant taste, however can match any request and budget you may have. Moreover, she has a large network of contacts which she can access very quickly saving the client time and money. Options are well presented and in my experience with her, completely in keeping with my brief. She listens to her client which is proof in her drawings and designs. Natalie has also been extremely helpful with advice in living room design from rugs, beautiful furniture and flooring. If you are looking for a kitchen or home to be extremely proud of ( and friends envious of), I would strongly recommend Natalie. She has saved me time, money and delivered a kitchen I could never have completed on my own. Thank you so much.

Natalie is a wonderful designer who helped us renovate every room in our 1938 home. She is incredibly capable and thorough and will help you through the entire renovation or build process. Natalie completely focuses on the result that you want, she develops an understanding of your personality and the result is a carefully considered, stunning and detailed interior.

Thank you for specifying Blum hardware products in your kitchen design and cabinetry projects. We enjoy working with your business.

A kitchen is a very personal thing. But as a project there are many unexpected challenges and subtle nuances along the way. You just don't know what you don't know. That's why we engaged Du Bois Design to both lead us through designing the hub of our home and to manage the project to completion. The result is a kitchen that is a great investment for our young family. Both functional and beautiful, full of natural light and plenty of storage space. We would certainly highly recommend Natalie and Du Bois Design. Thanks Natalie!

Many thanks Natalie for creating the really beautiful spaces for me in Auckland. I absolutely LOVED them and I'm sure that's why the house sold in two days!! I will miss Retro Kitchen and Eclectic Bathroom badly after prancing around in them for 9 years.

I've known Natalie for more than 10 years and recently she designed and managed the build of my kitchen. Natalie has a strong work ethic and has high standards, not only for her design, the partners she engages, the products and appliances she recommends and her attention to detail. I'm not surprised she has won interior designer of the year, I felt very privileged to work with her. I highly recommend her if you want a quality design either for your house interior, kitchen or bathroom she can manage it all

Natalie has advised and shared her expertise with us through various projects over the last six years. This has ranged from furnishing our lounge and dining room, designing a kitchen table and recommending and sourcing curtains for our new home. On first meeting Natalie I was impressed with her inventive and thoughtful ways of putting a project together. Natalie has always been extremely professional but also very personable. She listens to her clients and provides a service in line with budgets, lifestyles and personalities. Natalie is extremely diligent, talented and an absolute perfectionist in the service she provides and the recommendations she makes. We have been absolutely delighted with the schemes she has provided for us which have always been unique. The quality of her recommended products have been extremely high and have received many positive comments. Natalie always stands by her work and if there are ever any issues will always go the extra mile to rectify it. I can not recommend Natalie enough. Her work is outstanding. She is reliable, professional and very easy to deal with.

Natalie is a truly talented designer. She takes on ownership of a design brief and creates an environment that will be unique and satisfy the needs of the client. She thinks outside the square to provide the best aesthetically appealing environment but at the same time one that is functional and intelligent. She was responsible for the design of my kitchen and three and half bathrooms. The final products are beautiful environments that we find easy to enjoy and live within. Thank you Natalie for listening to my needs and creating perfect environments for my family.
