Tropical Paradise

An inner-city house becomes a calming oasis in a busy city Our clients loved the indoor/outdoor flow, sunshine and space of this Auckland weatherboard house but felt uninspired by its interior style. The goal was to create a comfortable home combining the coastal and vintage style that they both loved. A soft blue green flora and fauna fabric became the focal point for the design, providing an instant colour palette for the rest of the house. Walls were painted in cool shades of green and blue to complement the sandstone tones of existing flooring, while coastal style furniture was chosen to work in with treasured vintage pieces. The outcome was an inner city haven with the gorgeous colours of a tropical paradise - a home that the owners love to return to. “We moved into our house about 12 months ago. We really loved what our house offered in terms of compactness, outdoor/indoor flow and sunshine. However, we struggled to connect with our house fully given the interiors. Sandy has helped us to create a home that we now love wholeheartedly. She has amazing vision and very skilfully helped us to find solutions that would work for both my husband and I (given our differing tastes!). We both felt attended to. She also does a really good job of challenging/pushing you outside your comfort zone to consider new possibilities. I also really value Sandy’s commitment, hard work and passion to deliver a product you will love. Highly recommend her as an interior designer.”
