As many of you probably know good things take time. And it is worth remembering that the final outcome is most definitely worth the wait. Case in point is this little slice of heaven at a recent restyle. The gorgeous textural lamp and beautiful artwork by @selenakitchen create a little focal point in what was a rather under utilised area in the home. I just love how the dark sideboard adds depth whilst the playfulness of the colours and textures add warmth and personality to this lovely living space. I am thinking this is textural, colourful goodness at its finest. I simply love it. As does the client. Happy happy all around. #NZartists#justsoclever#selenakitchen#customframing#JWFraming#cittadesign#leforge#fortheloveoftexture#thingsthatbringjoy#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
Now here we have a little room that packs a punch. The tiles are in my mind to die for. Honestly, the whole combo has my heart singing. Beautifully stacked wall tiles, shades of delicious dusky tones and pops of mustard in the accessories. It’s a match made in heaven. Add in come clever storage solutions, a to die for vanity and you have a small bathroom that’s worth spending some time in. And as luck should have it we installed a super duper sink in bath to enable just that. One very happy client and of course a happy client is what this is all about. Happy days indeed. #bathroomrenovations #thingsthatbringjoy #simplystunning #fortheloveofpink #heretohelp #pinkwolfinteriordesign
Who doesn’t love an inviting window seat that allows you to kick back and enjoy the surrounds from? This bedroom window seat needed to fulfil several roles. We needed it to be practical yet inviting. It needed to be comfortable enough to double up as a sleepover bed. The fabric needed to be hardwearing and it naturally had to compliment the overall scheme of the home. I do love the textural nature of the fabric and how it adds interest and contrast to the white back drop. And as always the cushions add just a little pop of colour in a relatively neutral scheme. Another win win in my mind. And hopefully the clients too. #customwindowseats#fortheloveoftexture#thingsthatbringjoy#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
What makes a coffee table happy? Well for me it is a great rug to sit on, some of my favourite books, fresh flowers and of course a tray to place my collection of treasures on. This pic at a client’s home summarises it nicely. It makes the space feel lived in yet welcoming. The perfect spot to sit down for a chin wag and cuppa. Or nestle in next to the fire with a good old book. Sounds like heaven to me. #fortheloveofrugsandcoffeetables#freshflowers#whodoesntloveagoodtray#simplybeautiful#needhelpstyling#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
Check out this light by the clever Nightworks Studio. I am in love. Ok well actually I am in love with the whole space. The concept was to create a beautiful bathroom in a tiny space. Not to go nuts on double basins and oversized mirrors. But to add a sense of lux through allowing space for things to breath. So just one oversized basin offset to the right, allowing the light to be the focal point on entry. A guide into the sanctuary so to speak. Pure happiness is how I feel about this tiny wee bathroom. #bathroomrenovations#worththewait#statementlighting#nightworkstudios#fortheloveoftiles#tiledepot#needhelprenovating#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
Aside from crushing on the most divine piece of artwork ever created, thank you @lynne_sandri_artist , I would like to remind you of the importance of the often forgotten yet space changing home accessory in your life. The table lamp. Yes it’s true, they are up there with cushions in my mind, transforming stark bright places to warm, cosy inviting rooms. The soft light adds such beauty to your home, something the old hardy downlight just cant do. So if you haven’t already embraced lamps in your life, now’s the time. And whilst this picture doesn’t demonstrate the ambience it creates at night I also love how its organic textural form contrasts so beautifully against the clean lines of the console. It’s a match made in heaven for me and the client of course. #talentedlocalartists#layersuponlayers#texturalgoodness#fortheloveoflamps#needanewlamp#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
I feel lucky in my job to work with the most amazing clients who trust in what I do. In this case we were transforming a space that had sat unused to a place that felt welcoming and homely. A home that could be popped onto the short term rental market ideally. The home had good bones so really we just needed to add some character and a sense of calm. Create a place to retreat to. Add into the mix fresh artwork, some gorgeous textural cushions, pops of beautiful fabrics in the bedrooms and a sense of cosiness through lamps and rugs and the end result is a charming small rental that by all accounts is a winner with the guests. And the client of course. And to be fair I wouldn’t mind staying there myself, a wee get away from life. How lovely would that be? #rentaltransformations#bachcare#gorgeousart#fortheloveoftexturecolourandpattern#needhelprestlying#heretohelp#pinkwolfinteriordesign
Another example of linen working its beautiful magic in this lucky teenager’s bedroom. The lovely drape of the fabric, the beautiful soft colourings and gorgeous fabric design by @hemptechnz all work together to produce a truly stunning window treatment. The final touch of the rod is a nod to the grand old villa which ensures the overall style of the home remains in tact. Although I must admit that we did have our work cut out with this room with a young creative who knew what she loved but couldn’t quite find it. However in the end I think we nailed it. One happy teenager equates to happiness all around I do believe. Happy days indeed. #keepingthekidshappy#customwindowtreatments#neednewcurtains#fortheloveoflinen#hemptech
