Herne Bay House banner

A Herne Bay new build two years in the making. The result is a modern, edgy and light filled family home. We had fun with the bathrooms, mixing things up giving the en-suite a spa like feel, the kids bathroom a functional but interesting look and a dramatic powder room. The kitchen is finished in an oak veneer with l Dekton bench tops. The back splash is a one of a kind finished in Apiani tiles by Artedomus. The tv room has been painted in a dark grey on both the ceilings and walls and finished with velevt drapes to create the perfect movie watching atmosphere.  Venluree took care of all the blinds and curtains, Artedomus and Tile Imports provided the tiles, Waterware provided all of the bathroomware, James Dunlop supplied our favourite Laconia Air and Citta and Weave Home provided us with the photo shoot accessories.

About the
Professional

It takes a special kind of relationship to form a successful design partnership, as is the case with the dynamic duo behind Entrance Design, Claire Kingan-Jones and Nicky Tong.

Meeting at the Nanette Cameron Interior Design School, Nicky and Claire draw on their well-rounded experience and shared passion to create enviable and timeless interiors with personality and liveability at the core.

The design duo’s distinct sense of passion, energy and warmth, set them apart in an industry often perceived as intimidating and unapproachable – a misconception Claire and Nicky seek to change.

Combining their strengths, they have come up with a concept that makes the interior design process a fun and rewarding experience. With their client's unique personal style at the forefront of their designs, Entrance Design strives to create homes that ultimately complement and enhance lifestyles.

“Whether it’s a small room update or an entire home refresh, we provide cost competitive solutions with an emphasis on transparency throughout the process.” – Claire Kingan-Jones

“We understand every client is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We can lead you step-by-step through the design process or, you can take the lead through our online service, drawing on our wealth of experience along the way,” – Nicky Tong
