Thoughtful Design. Beautiful Homes. Practical Living.

Helping Wellington homeowners create beautiful, practical homes through thoughtful design, careful planning and more than 25 years of experience.

I believe great design starts with people, not rooms.

Every home is unique, and every project begins by understanding how you live, what matters most to you, and what isn't working in your home. Every design decision should improve the way you live, solve a practical problem or bring lasting enjoyment. Beautiful interiors are the natural result of thoughtful planning, creativity and practical experience—not simply following the latest trends.

OUR AREAS OF SPECIALTY

KITCHEN DESIGN

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Whether you're renovating an existing kitchen or creating one for a new build, I design kitchens that are beautiful, practical and tailored to the way you live. Every kitchen is carefully planned to maximise space, improve workflow and create a room you'll enjoy using every day.

BATHROOM DESIGN

A well-designed bathroom should be both practical and a pleasure to use. From layout and storage to the selection of finishes, fittings and lighting, I create bathrooms that combine everyday functionality with timeless style. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to create a space that works beautifully for years to come.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Whether you're renovating a single room or your entire home, I create interiors that are both beautiful and practical. Every project begins by understanding how you live, then developing a design that reflects your personality, complements your home and enhances everyday living. From the initial concept through to the finishing touches, I work with you to create a home that feels uniquely yours.

WORDS FROM OUR HAPPY CLIENTS

My daughter recommended Debra and I am so pleased she did. I had sold my large family home and moved to an apartment in a former warehouse on the waterfront. The apartment needed a good overhaul in fact more than that, it needed imagination which Debra provided in spades! I am delighted with the results which can be seen on line. Debra was asked to recreate the two bedrooms, bathroom, living room and kitchen. The kitchen, in particular, is functional as well as elegant. I have no hesitation in recommending Debra as a highly creative and practical professional.

We approached Debs to assist with the design of a complicated tile porch floor - a focal point for a larger architecture-landscape project to create a sense of "arrival" at our house. The floor introduced colour and pattern to an otherwise restrained setting. Our positive experience with Debs and this piece of work led to other areas of aesthetic refresh and focus inside the house, including some built-in furniture, wallpaper and paint, light fixtures, throw pillows, and a bathroom reno. Most of these projects were limited in scope and insertions within existing rooms/environments, but in all cases lifted the visual interest of the room. She challenged us in a very positive way to introdu...

Debra was fantastic from the planning through to execution and follow-up. She gave us very good advice, listened to our wishes and helped us push our boundaries to end up with a better result than we would have ever achieved on our own. She was great at liaising with tradies and ensuring that her vision (and ours) was realised. We would definitely recommend her to anyone considering major renovations.

We've worked with Debra on a number of projects. She is well organised and a pleasure to work with. Sometimes, when partway through a project I look at some of the components and I scratch my head, but when I see it all completed, when all the components are in place, I can then see what only she could see at the start - it's all working in complete harmony, and what seemed like a brave selection or choice is now perfectly positioned and meant to be.
