To help you make the most of the summer months, here’s our ultimate guide to getting your home summer-ready!
We are passionate about infusing every day life with style and edge. Each of our projects is infused with KFD Interiors signature style, a style we are super excited for you to now share in your own home with our carefully curated selection of home accessories.
More than any other room in your home, the master suite should feel like a sanctuary. And we love to make these bedrooms hotel standard - bringing a boutique hotel blend of maximum style plus maximum comfort to a small space.
Our clients brought this home for it’s incredible views and beach side location with a vision to modernise the home for a new era. The first area for attention was the kitchen, where the style, design and colour palette would be continued throughout the home.
Impressive and expansive views inspired the interiors of this home - a finishes palette led by nature, views of cliffs, rock pools, sand and the sea. Returning to New Zealand after 35 years abroad, we created a home for our client to enjoy the unique kiwi lifestyle he had dreamt of. We responded to a brief to completely furnish the home to create a relaxed and welcoming sanctuary, a home that was practical in its seaside location, as well as timelessly stylish.
A much-loved family bungalow was treated to a fresh lease of life with new a kitchen, as well as a refresh of their furniture and furnishings. Kirsten Ford Design worked with these clients to guide the kitchen finish selections and to update their furnishings, being careful to include much-loved family treasures and adding to them special new pieces.
When these clients brought their beachfront home it came with sublime views, but a kitchen that definitely needed an update. The blue-tiled benchtop may have featured on the cover of Trends magazine back in the 1990s, but when a major renovation was undertaken to update and reconfigure the home the kitchen received attention first!
With sightlines over a tree-filled park, to the ocean and horizon beyond, this apartment lives and breathes it’s surroundings. The near new apartment had an inherited scheme from the developer so Kirsten Ford Design was engaged to create a more personalised home, with a sophisticated coastal feel that avoided all the usual seaside stereotypes.
Turning a new house into a home was the brief from these clients. Their challenge to us was to create a more contemporary styled home for them, by pairing their amazing collection of antiques and artworks with key new pieces of furniture and furnishings. The clients wanted to ensure their newly built home was a better reflection of their lifestyle and personalities.
With clients who are fun and passionate with big vision, this was always going to be a special project. When we first visited in January 2018, while the location was stunning, the bach was very tired and a little pink! These clients dreamed of creating a functional yet luxurious destination for family holidays where memories are created every day.
