Let me turn your
house into a home

Home is where the heart is

Let me turn your house into a home – one of the biggest challenges is knowing how to pull a room together to achieve that ‘finished look’- that blends space, light, colour and key features.

I can tie in most loved possessions into a design plan that offers both warmth and functionality in key living spaces.

I take a hands-on approach - project managing the entire design process from developing the initial concepts (including joinery/cabinetry design) through to selecting paint colours, window and floor coverings, furniture, art work and decorative objects.

Client Testimonials

Testimonials

“We collaborated with Janey on a number of spaces in our family home - living, outdoor and bedrooms. In a house designed and built in the 60’s , with an architectural refresh, we required a considered approach, someone who understood the influence of that era. Janey curated living areas that had texture, colour and timeless design aesthetic, furniture, textiles and rugs had to be robust yet bring soul and character into our home. Janey understood the needs of a busy family, with two growing & energetic boys. It all works seamlessly and we have a home that is a joy to live in.”

A.B. Remuera

“We loved working with Janey on the renovation of our 1960’s home this year. She’s super efficient and expertly guided us through our project advising on everything from exterior and interior colours, lighting, and bathrooms to spouting, joinery and linen. She always provided us with different options to consider and was always available to take phone calls and for site visits. We highly recommend Janey and would definitely work with her again.”

Leigh - Remuera, Auckland

“Building a house from overseas was always going to be a challenge. However, Janey was there every step of the way to guide, assist, and take on every challenge thrown our way. She listened, she advised, she stepped in (or out) as needed. She shared our excitement, frustrations, and was such an intricate part of the whole design process. Janey was so fun to work with, it was sad to say goodbye to her when it was all over.”

Mary-Jane - Hong Kong

“Janey is fabulous to work with from concept plans to final product. Her keen eye and expert design sense are beyond compare. She was a joy to work with as well as a true professional. From design to furniture to colour, I would highly recommend her.”

Amanda C - Remuera, Auckland

“I have worked with Janey on two houses now and she is an absolute delight to work with. Her amazing eye for design and her innate ability to transform a space into one that fits her clients style. She creates spaces that are elegant and beautiful, yet comfortable and practical. She was wonderful to work with.”

Victoria - St Heliers, Auckland

“I absolutely loved working with Janey. She made the entire renovation an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She was professional yet equally personable. She transformed my house into a beautiful home just before lock down. I could not be happier!!”
