About

Mooi Design is a Christchurch, New Zealand based, interior design company. Mooi Studio offers specialist design & consultancy services across a range of interiors disciplines, from detailed joinery designs to colour consultancy, furniture procurement finishes selections & installation.  

Mooi Design has proved to be a challenging name to use in New Zealand – Kiwi’s tend to pronounce it ‘Moo-ee’ (like a cow). However, Mooi (pronounced ‘moy’) was chosen as it connects with Candice’s Dutch root & means ‘all things beautiful’ – a true reflection of how we approach design! 

Testimonials

I have recently engaged the interior design services of Candice Stanley from Mooi Design.  Candice was tasked with providing both design advice and implementation and contract management of all design changes to be made at our home in Clearwater, Christchurch.  As part of this work, Candice was responsible for the complete redesign of my commercial office which is also located at my home.  Her understanding of spatial design and colour is outstanding.  The result is a much more streamlined and modern look for our home, which was our very clear brief from the outset.  The redesign of my commercial office has led to a dramatically improved office space, which is now a pleasure to work in.

Candice is the consummate professional.  She is a wonderful collaborator, taking on board her client’s brief, and adding her own superb design flair to ensure the ultimate outcome for her clients.  Candice is incredibly personable and an absolute pleasure to work with.  I would highly recommend the services of Candice for any upcoming design work you may have.  If you want further information, I am happy to be contacted to give a personal referral.

I would definitely recommend Mooi Design, can’t thank Candice and Renee enough for all their expert advice and hard work.  They made the process of furnishing and designing so easy, where I would of struggled on my own, but they listened to everything I wanted and they delivered much more. Nothing was a problem, always quick to reply to my emails or phone calls when I got stressed, and they always reassured me that everything will be fine, and it was. I just love our new house and with their help they transformed it in to an amazing home. Was a pleasure working with these girls, they are very professional, and a lot of fun to be around, and would definitely use them again.

Candice,  over the past 18 months been my 'go to' agent for interior design and modernising of the antique furniture which required modernising but keeping in tune with the elegant style.
A 140 yr old Chaise Lounge was re-upholstered beautifully - Candice's knowledge was invaluable.
A 50 yr old  4 piece mahogany Bergere suite was spray painted and re-upholstered - resulting in a trendy but still elegant pieces.
A chair, spray painted black and re-upholstered to bring new life back into it.
Two stools re-upholstered are trendy and elegant.
Candice's knowledge was invaluable and she was always extremely pleasant and courteous, delightful and conscientious.   She kept me regularly up to date with the progress of the procedures the furniture was going through, going 'out of her way' to work with me to find "that special fabric "! 
I have happily recommended Candice and her skills to others and she deserves all the praise that comes her way.

A friend referred me to Candice. I wasn’t sure at first that she could capture the look and feel I wanted. Goodness knows I couldn’t. Well my initial apprehension was quickly dispelled. We are now more than half way through the work and I am delighted. The look is very me. Candice and Renee are a pleasure to work with. They recognise budget considerations and respond very well with options and recommendations.

I could never recommend Mooi Design highly enough. From the moment I engaged them to the completion of the build, my wife and I always felt special and that they had OUR best interests in mind. No job for Mooi was ever a problem and in my mind they tackled over and above their brief. Our budget was only ever stretched by our lack of imagination, which once enlightened, it became clear why we engaged them to help us finish the design of our house. Great work Mooi and thanks....
