Stylists and home staging experts Katie Salter and Natalie van Peer tell how their shared love of beautiful spaces saw the creation of their business, Ash Road, and why the spaces we spend time in should be thoughtfully considered.

"Our connection on the design front is really one in a million – we will walk into a space and know instantly what we want to do," says Natalie.
Natalie says that they are seeing a trend towards both agents and homeowners really understanding and valuing the investment in quality home staging.
"Mostly I seek inspiration from both Australian and Japanese designers – a kind of warmed up minimalism, with refined colour mixes and understated forms in combination with really practical design solutions," says Katie.
Natalie and Katie always gravitate towards spaces that have natural colours and materials.
Natalie's top styling tip: "Don’t be boring but don’t over do it."
"I also love dark, moody spaces," shares Natalie. "I’m not obsessed with making everything light and bright and white."
Katie and Natalie have worked on a number of stunning properties across Auckland.
