:hire an interior designer
My generation are much more open to sharing ideas and
information. I belong to a group of like-minded women who
meet up regularly to discuss different projects and new inspirations that we've found. We give eachother advice and
contacts. I find the older 'decorators' are private and not
welcoming in sharing information.

Why is Wellington a great place
for an interior designer?
Wellington has a fantastic resource
the Wellington Design Library. All
the fabrics are stored here so rather
than Auckland where you have to go to
the James Dunlop showroom, Mokum
showroom or Newnext, showroom which
are all over town, you have everything at
your fingertips. It is a fantastic resource and
I think we forget how lucky we are to have
this.
Q
Is the internet opening up work for
interior designers or are more people
sourcing ideas for DIY jobs?
A
I've gained a lot of work through
my blog. People are nervous about
employing an interior designer. The blog
allows people to get a feel for my style before
they meet me. It breaks down a barrier.
