Fine Art and French Antiques
This was a large refurbishment. The brief was to furnish with quality fabrics, lighting, artwork and furniture, with a very close eye on detail. The look was driven by my clients love of American designer Ralph Lauren, in particular his tartan woolen upholstery, a nod to my clients heritage.
I commissioned Sallee Carpets to custom dye a plush cut pile carpet in French blue. The wool was sourced in Christchurch, dispatched to India for dying then to the Melbourne factory to be made into a beautiful velvety carpet.
The French antiques where sourced through the importer, French and Sons Bulls. The art works by local artists including Fran Dibble, Amy Blackburn, Adele Dubarry and others
I Commissioned furniture by Christchurch manufacturer Montreux. The chandeliers were sourced from Eunice Taylor.

About the
Professional
Creating custom interiors that reflect your unique style and taste is my objective. With a focus on quality fabrics and furnishings, I offer specialized advice, practical solutions, and enduring designs.
To begin with I offer a complimentary hour of my time, where I listen, observe, and understand your requirements. From that conversation, I develop a tailored concept scheme. As an independent designer, I explore a wide range of resources to create a truly distinctive and customized look for your home.
Once we've discussed and refined these ideas within your budget, the next step involves overseeing the manufacturing process of competitively priced furniture. I handle the supply and manufacturing of curtains, blinds, and furniture re-upholstery, working with trusted workrooms. Throughout the process, I liaise with contractors and suppliers to ensure a smooth and successful project, all backed by my guarantee of quality workmanship.
My greatest joy comes from understanding your style and aspirations, collaborating with you to translate them into practical and unique design schemes that enhance your daily life. I am dedicated to helping you achieve the look and feel you desire for your home, creating a space that you will truly enjoy.
