Powder rooms in 2026 are proving that small spaces can make the biggest statements

⭐️Moody, color-drenched spaces - rich
tones that create drama and depth

⭐️Statement wallpaper - bold patterns
and murals full of personality

⭐️Limewash & Roman clay — soft texture
and movement on the walls

⭐️Fluted details — subtle texture that adds
dimension

⭐️Marble is definately the new hero, forget about white, it’s all about the colour

⭐️Sculptural lighting — fixtures that double
as art

Yes, I have a team that make roman blinds.
They can cord drawn which is a cost effective option or chain driven for larger windows.
We opted for cord on this project, so the blind sits closer to the wall and blocks light for little ones sleeping.
Fabric is

Master bedroom, double tracks with a stunning sheer the colour of snow, with the texture of tissue.

Why stop at the walls, adding colour / a tone / or deeper neutral to the ceiling makes a room unforgettable

Hi 👋 I have a bit of a love hate relationship with social media, but have lots of bits and pieces going on✔️
A few weeks ago fellow Women’s Institute Ladies and I attended the Middlemore Foundation Morning Presentation.
We contributed from our members, knitting, port pillows, drainage bags, go bags, breast pillows.
On site selecting flooring, carpet and putting together paint colours to work.
A project garden I love, what love about it is my control with nominated plants in their spaces. I’m usually see plants I love and go from there.
Checking out the design ranges … omg the angora felted wool chair fabric felt like heaven.
Other beautiful pieces to make a home.

Goodness where did February go !
Haven’t missed a since they started 16 years ago. This year we enjoyed getting out of town to Taupo !

Wedding flowers with the help of my very generous friends, and the ring biscornu I stitched over a period of weeks.

Trends change.
Opinions shift.
Fundamentals, they don’t.

Don’t forget you live there, investing on how you are going to feel everyday is never a waste.

Save these ideas for your next room refresh.

The beginning of the year is a great time to catch up with suppliers.
Visiting the innovation new showroom.
Hidden Step Stools, Home Office, Pocket Doors and organizer are just the beginning.
Loving the Atlantis Range of pots , definately need some of these in my garden.
Last but not least Finewood Furniture, I really had no idea there were so many foam combinations available for our furniture.
Each with their own weight and purpose, combined gives us the furniture of today, and tomorrows heirlooms.

2026 in’s and out’s might surprise you. To start, can we all agree that this is the year we lean into being our most authentic selves…
Let what energizes you lead.
Home should be a place where your nervous system can actually calm down, not somewhere you feel obligated to perform trends.
Let’s create a home you love to be in.

The last weeks have had me doing a few different things.
A design talk to the Karaka Women’s Institute, where I am a founding member.
Attending a fab talk by the talented and personable Tom Webster - had a wee fan moment.
Lots of fudge and melting moments baking for the Karaka Women’s Institute Stall.
This is one of our biggest fundraisers, it enables us to then gift back $$ to our speakers and charities during the year.
Last lot of hand knitted beanies by me, delivered to the Papakura Maternity Hospital.
