Downsizing Services

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Terry puts forward great ideas, keeps within budget, very approachable, scoures out product required, overall great service and takes the pressure of you to achieve the end result you are looking. Terry helped us get our new home interior decorated, colours, fabrics and furniture. Certainly took the pressure off working with Terry expertise service she offers.”

“Danni-Lee was WONDERFUL in her help with our kitchen design and colour decisions of our new house build. I found building and designing a house overwhelming with how many permanent, expensive decisions had to be made but Danni-Lee made the process so easy. By asking us simple questions on our lifestyle, how we would use the house, what vision and taste we had she narrowed our choices down giving a few incredible options in the colours of our house inside and out. When it came to kitchen design now that was a whole new level of wow! Suggesting drawers over cupboards, suggesting dimensions which work for a family old and young, maximising storage and bench space.. she even managed to find room to create a huge storage/office area which would have otherwise been wasted space. If and when we build or renovate again we would definitely use Danni-Lee again as she saved us SO much time, money and stress! Thank you so much for helping create our dream space, we love it and get SO many compliments with people asking for our colours to use on their own home (friends new build interior, families exterior and friends exterior all going with Danni-Lee's colour suggestion) :)”

“We received durrant designs amazing consultations on our bathroom renovation. Jamie really thought through our space. She took on our needs and wants while also producing some really great ideas we hadn't thought to try. She was so thorough and that made us feel secure in our decision making progress. Something that could have taken weeks took a day to chose colours, lighting, layout, flooring, tiles etc. This helped us save so much time and money as we didn't make silly mistakes choosing the wrong things! I would highly recommend her services and we hope to have her consult with us again on our next renovation project. Thank you so much Jamie.”

“"Sandra Recently helped me to furnish my holiday house. It was quite an undertaking and Sandra and I worked together on it over a number of weeks. During this time she was professional, listened very intently and interpreted ideas efficiently and exactly. She was enthusiastic, and above all, very talented at Interior Design. My house looks amazing, and I know that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without her help. I have recommended her to many of my friends with the knowledge that they will be as happy with the end product as I am".”

“We recently renovated which included a small extension to the open plan kitchen/living/dining room to accommodate a bigger kitchen and make sense of the living space. Treena helped us with the planning process both for the kitchen space and design and also the living/dining space decor. It looks amazing! There were so many things to consider with this project and more decisions to be made than I could have imagined. Treena had a huge range of samples available to get a sense of what we liked and once the style had been decided she narrowed down our choices considerably and kept us on track. She helped us choose kitchen and paint colours, wall tiles, tapware, lighting, curtains, blinds, wood flooring and rugs, and even cushions which gave our existing furniture a new life. She also designed and had made for us a very large entertainment unit that gives us lovely display shelving, a place for the TV, great storage and also houses a charging station for all of our electronic devices...magic! Treena sourced all of the products and arranged installation, and we were pleasantly surprised at the prices, which were much less than we expected. Even though I've renovated before I'm so glad that I used Swift Designs for this project as the choices and number of decisions that had to be made would have been overwhelming without Treena's expertise....and I would never have had enough time to do it all! I love my new space and highly recommend using Treena for any home design project.”

“Belinda at Wall St has been fantastic at helping me with my new house build. She has helped my visions come to life! I had ideas about things I liked, Belinda was fabulous at directing me to get them right! She was subtle with her suggestions and got it right every time. Belinda also was very clever at finding good deals on pieces like lighting, cushions & artwork. She has been very passionate about helping me getting it right for our family.”
