Contemporary Townhouse

“I first discovered Di Baker and her wonderful interior design company when I was buying a brand new townhouse in Wellington and was searching for an interior designer who could help me furnish it, from top to toe, in a style that I could best describe as "informal elegance". I knew broadly the look I wanted, but had no idea how to get there and knew I could make a lot of expensive mistakes along the way if I tried to do it myself. I looked at many websites but was immediately attracted to Di Baker Interiors', not only because of the photos of her lovely interior designs for a wide range of homes, but also because of the way she described her approach to her work - showing a real empathy for her clients' needs and styles, listening to what they wanted and being mindful of budgets. Having given Di a rather vague description of what I had in mind, she quickly translated this into what would transform a very modern house into a stylish but comfortable home. For each room she presented me with several concepts, drawing on the incredible range of suppliers - furniture, fabrics, and lightening - with whom she has close relationships. Di was also very willing to be flexible, accommodating a couple of sentimental antiques I had into a very modern house, combining classical with contemporary styles. Di gives a very personal, very professional service, prompt and efficient at all times. I was absolutely thrilled with the end result and still say to friends that it was the best decision I ever made!”
