This busy family had outgrown their 20 year old kitchen - they needed more space, more storage and a modern look that would still stand the test of time. White cabinetry is trimmed with timber accents, with azure blue tiles providing an unexpected hit of mediterranean inspired colour. The kitchen is the perfect blend of style and function - light, bright and completely unique.
ocean edge apartment
Situated right on the ocean’s edge, this couple wanted to create a comfortable retreat with a relaxed but luxe feel. The newly built apartment had an inherited scheme from the developer. Our clients engaged Kirsten Ford Design to create a look and feel for their holiday home which was more personal, incorporating much loved pieces of art while ensuring focus still remained on the incredible view beyond.

This client took on a labour of love when she purchased this grand old lady.

statement downsize
This home is almost totally unrecognisable from the cobweb-clad beachside bach it was when our client first purchased it. The client was downsizing in scale, but didn’t want to compromise on style. Kirsten Ford Design completely reimagined the space to create a home as a true reflection of its owner: modern, stylish, well travelled.

One of the fun perks of my job is being invited to trade shows to view & experience the latest from suppliers. Urbis Design Day Pro was a fantastic day full of inspiration as suppliers showcased their furniture & showrooms. The perfect way to get the inside edge on new suppliers & the very latest offerings!
