Welcome to the Retro Orthodontist project completed in 2018 by Marlene Hudson Design for Tony Lund Orthodontist. Our mission was to revamp the reception and treatment rooms with a retro theme, incorporating vibrant colours to create a warm and inviting environment for patients. No major structural changes were made, focusing instead on updating the colour scheme, carpet, and enhancing lighting levels. 

The inspiration for the vibrant colour palette came from the fabrics used to reupholster the restored retro chairs in the reception area. These fabrics are from Warwick Fabrics' outdoor range, ensuring durability and colourfastness to withstand the high traffic in reception. To add a touch of fun and interest, different fabric patterns were mixed on each piece of furniture. 

In addition to the retro theme, the clinic incorporates elements like Glenn Jones art pieces and Ian Blackwell road signs to add layers of intrigue. Plants have been introduced in the reception area for their air-purifying benefits, while unique lighting fixtures and wallpaper patterns reference orthodontic braces and wires, creating a cohesive and visually appealing space.

About the
Professional

I'm passionate about assisting clients express themselves within their home and workplace, by helping them find items and colours that mean they are surrounded by objects that make rooms feel joyful and welcoming to be in. 

We love what we do, and work collaboratively with clients and suppliers, to achieve dreams and goals, whilst never loosing sight that the journey should be an enjoyable one. 

Our approach is down to earth; we communicate openly, respect your time, try to delight you with a selection of options to choose from, document agreed decisions to make sure no one is relying on memory and follow up on deliveries to keep projects moving forward. We are also able to be your point of contact for trades to clarify details during site works.

We are based in the Central North Island which makes it easy for us to travel around the North Island to your site location. That's not to say we rule out working on projects in the South Island when the opportunity comes along.
