This project has been a slow burn with fabulous clients who know what they want.

I began working on this home some years ago. Since then, children have arrived and the spaces have gradually evolved to support the rhythm of busy family life.

The dining table, chairs and bespoke bench seat were a recent commission from a New Zealand furniture company that is always a dream to work with. The client provided an image for the bench, and I worked closely with the Christchurch representative to bring it to life.

Family living spaces have continued to evolve as furniture, rugs and objects have moved around the home. Wallpaper has been used generously throughout, reflecting the client’s love of texture.

A beige-colored shelf displays several coffee table books stacked horizontally with titles such as "Our Spaces," "The Kinfolk Home," and "The Art of Home." On top of the books, there's a ceramic vase holding a dried, leafless branch arrangement. The background wall is painted a neutral tone, creating a minimalist aesthetic.
Living room with a white sofa with multiple white pillows, textured throw blanket, black patterned accent wall, and white curtains.
A dining room table with dark wood finish, surrounded by chairs with grayish frames and white cushioned seats. A tall white vase with green foliage is on the table. There is a wall with beige curtains covering a window or sliding door in the background.
Built-in display cabinet with decorative objects including pottery and books, next to a window with plantation shutters and a textured dark accent wall.
