We injected character into the living space of this Artist's 50's home. Rather than trying to simplify the space we added to create a warm and relaxed mood. Colour was brought in through the buttery yellow ceiling and chunky indigo loop pile wool carpet. Colours selected to pair well with the client's own art and eclectic objects and furniture items.
Mid-century inspired timber shelving showcases the client's book collection and adds further texture and interest to the space allowing for the flexibility of changing artwork.
The result is a space that feels lived in and enjoyed and is a reflection of the artist in residence.
Kanat Studio is an Auckland-based interior design practice founded by Kate Pilot and Natalia Glucina. Specialising in bespoke residential and commercial interiors, we collaborate with architects and clients to create spaces that evoke atmosphere and reflect the essence of the individual or brand.
We believe great design is both beautiful and functional — it flows effortlessly, supports daily life, and elevates the experience of space. With a considered and collaborative approach, we guide each project from concept to completion, managing every detail with care and clarity.
At Kanat, design is a lived experience. We look at how people move, live, and feel within a space, designing for real-life rhythms. From spatial flow to the emotional impact of materials, every choice is made with purpose and intention.
Whether creating something new or transforming the existing, we offer full-service design, procurement, and project management. Our process is transparent, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect — resulting in thoughtful, enduring spaces with character.
