Displaying beautiful home accessories is an art. Finding the right balance of form, texture, colour, meaning and style is really important to enhance the interior and reflect our clients’ interests.

These final touches make a home feel truly personal and complete the overall look.

As most of you already know, we love integrating art from wonderful NZ artists into our interiors. There is so much talent in NZ, and carefully selected pieces of art enhance the interior design scheme beautifully.

One of my favourite NZ artists is Kirsty Black. Not only does she paint beautiful, colourful, fun and happy abstract paintings, but she is also the most wonderful person—an extension of her art.

I have been a little quiet on social media lately.

To be perfectly honest, I have been struggling with sickness and fatigue and have been making a conscious effort to spend less time on my electronic devices. I know many people around me are doing the same.

But there is something else I have been struggling with, and that is social media itself.

Posting has started to feel more like something I have to do to attract business, rather than a creative outlet I genuinely enjoy.

From a business point of view, I understand the importance of being visible, but I am finding social media less and less inspiring.

So much of the content feels the same. The endless advice, the “10 things you should know before renovating” type of posts, and the feeling that we all need to keep posting to stay relevant.

I actually find Pinterest far more interesting when looking for creative inspiration. I simply enjoy looking at beautiful spaces, appreciating the creativity and individuality, without always needing an explanation or advice.

I love interior design. I love the creativity, the individuality of every home, the people I meet and the process of bringing everything together.

And I would love to share more of what genuinely interests and inspires me, rather than simply posting because I feel I should.

So I am curious.

What do you actually enjoy seeing from me and D for Design Interior Design?

I would genuinely love to hear what interests and inspires you.

Perhaps it is time to approach social media a little differently. ❤️

A bespoke headboard, bedside cabinets, velvet bedspread and Euro pillow, paired with beautiful bedlinen from Wallace Cotton and lamps from Freedom Furniture, come together to create a serene and inviting master bedroom.

What we can’t find, we create. We balance bespoke design with carefully sourced, quality ready-made pieces, always keeping both the overall design and budget in mind.

Considered interior design is about making thoughtful choices that bring everything together beautifully.

We love how this Wellington apartment has come together.

The bespoke wooden furniture, beautiful designer rug, striking artwork by Kirsty Black and bespoke wooden flooring throughout the apartment all work together to create a warm and inviting home with plenty of personality.

Our clients often tell us how much their visitors admire their home, but more importantly, they love living in it themselves.

At D for Design Interior Design, we work with many different interior styles. For us, it is about getting to know our clients, understanding what they love and creating a home that feels personal to them.

If you have an upcoming project, we would love to hear from you. Creating a well-considered interior takes time, so it is always good to start the conversation early.

Beautiful pieces of furniture that suit the style of an interior and that our clients absolutely love can sometimes be tricky to find. So when the perfect piece comes along, it is often worth purchasing it straight away.

This gorgeous oak console helped create the relaxed coastal feel our clients were looking for, and we were lucky to find several other unique pieces that all work beautifully together.

It is always such a pleasure to see a home come together and, most importantly, to have happy clients.

Subtle styling touches bring a sense of cosiness, warmth and character to an interior.

From the softness of layered textiles to the beauty of carefully chosen objects, these finishing details create a home that feels welcoming and lived-in. They reflect your personality, add depth and texture, and gently bring your overall interior style together.

We loved bringing together coastal, tropical and vintage influences in this beautiful sun-filled Auckland weatherboard home.

This gorgeous flora and fauna fabric in soft blues and greens was our starting point and inspired the colour palette throughout.

We layered natural textures with carefully chosen furniture and unique pieces to create a home that feels relaxed, warm and inviting, with plenty of personality.

I am currently in Samoa, taking some much-needed time out.

The last two years have been challenging and have left me feeling quite burned out. I have learned how important it is to look after myself and recognise when I need to stop and step away before things become too much.

Samoa is my go-to place for times like this. I have been here several times, I know what to expect, and I know I can completely switch off.

It always takes me a little while to fully unwind, so I have learned to give myself enough time to slow down properly and simply enjoy being here.

By the time I return home next week, I know I will have renewed energy and feel ready to take on life and work again.

Life as an interior designer might look easy and glamorous from the outside, but running an interior design business comes with many challenges — and life in general has a habit of throwing us curveballs too.

I am sharing this because I think it is important to talk about looking after our mental health, recognising when we are running low, and giving ourselves permission to take the time we need.

Sometimes stepping away for a while is exactly what we need.
