ABOUT

Hi! I’m Ingrid,

As a qualified New Zealand Interior Designer, interior paint colour specialist and serial renovator, I have experienced the power of a well designed space first hand.

I also know from personal experience, that inhabiting a space that does not reflect our values, aesthetics, and desires can feel dissatisfying, frustrating, and can even sabotage our energy.

It’s not all unconscious either, Interior Design has a significant, scientifically proven impact on our wellbeing – affecting our mood, health, productivity and stress levels.

When you’re surrounded by an environment that is not in sync with your personality or lifestyle you may be left feeling uninspired. Perhaps you feel as if you’re living in someone else’s house. Maybe it was decorated by the previous owner and is not quite to your taste? Your space may even be completely devoid of colour altogether. Oftentimes, the standard dull and generic paint colours do nothing to support us, while being the backdrop to our daily lives.

I’m on a personal mission to empower people through Paint Colours and Interior Design. Everyone has their own unique response to colour and style, and every room has individual physical factors which impact which colours will bring it to life.

Since childhood, I have always loved Interior Design, and spent my free time rearranging my bedroom and making my own wallpaper with pull-out posters from magazines, CD album cover art and perhaps the odd school detention slip #rebel. My dream bedroom as a teen in the late 1990s was silver zebra print wallpaper (what a vibe that would have been!) But, despite my more ‘sensible’ request to update the traditionally tame pastel pink bedroom walls to blue, unfortunately I was told that “a boy’s colour”, was out of the question. I pondered back then, as I still wonder now, who makes these colour ‘rules’?!

It’s for this reason that I take a collaborative and intuitive approach to interior design. A paint colour that looks magnificent in one home can fall flat in another, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ in Interior Design, and our homes are as varied as our individual responses to colour.

I’m here to support you during your renovation, with a custom paint colour palette, creating a home that inspires you. Let’s bring back the JOY in our homes and create authentic, colour confident spaces.

Please feel free to fill in your details below, I’d love to hear from you, let me know what could be improved and celebrated in your space.
