Best interior designers in Auckland: find options near you

Working with the team at Millé was an absolute pleasure; their passion and attention to detail were evident in every stage of the process.

They didn’t just design the space that we asked for—they created the space we needed, one that perfectly complements our hospitality vision and brand identity.

The final result is both visually stunning and highly functional.

If you’re looking for a team that listens, understands hospitality, and then delivers beyond expectation, Millé is the one to call.

We couldn’t be happier with the result!

We will be back!

We have had the pleasure of working with Mille across many shops, and they always exceed our expectations! Their professionalism and commitment to quality truly stand out. Mille has a fantastic team that is efficient, friendly, and dedicated to delivering exceptional results. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Mille in the future. Highly recommended!

We have multi projects with Gerrick and his team. Loves their works. They always go extra miles to make sure the job has done properly. Really easy to communicate and efficient. Highly recommended.

The process of designing with Mille was very smooth and efficient. The team are professional, creative and have a good eye for detail. They communicated with me every step of the way to get the job done to the best of their abilities.
Would highly recommend!

I have worked with a few designers while running hospo businesses. Quite a few of them blow your budget. Mille recently helped me design a showroom for Vittoria food and beverage and the process was painless and enjoyable. I didn’t have to go and find more $$$$ suddenly there was full transparency in the process around the hours they worked on the design. Danielle and Gerrick were accessible and helped in any modifications to the design promptly. They recommended a contractor CMP who were also amazing to work with. We had very tight timelines and they made it all work. The result is amazing and anyone who walks into our space is awed.Can’t recommend enough. We know we will work with Mille again!

The team at Millé were recommended to us when we were looking for design specialists for one of our new venues down in Wellington. From our very first email enquiry to video call, our experience working with every individual in the team has been incredibly valuable. The team listens, brought all of our ideas to life. Nothing felt impossible or too hard and we could feel the team was invested in bringing designs to fruition, not just a job. The process from start to finish was so seamless and enjoyable, communication was always on point and felt that Millé was really one of our team members we could call on any time.
If this rating doesn’t speak for itself, we’ve since worked on 3 more projects with Millé since our first one together and looking forward to many more!
Absolute assets to the industry.

Working with the team at Millé is always a great experience. The passion and expertise every team member shows is outstanding. We have worked with them on multiple projects and every time they have new and fresh ideas and bring a high level of design and aesthetic to every project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to start up a new hospo business you definitely won’t be disappointed!

Well, what can I say, except what an awful experience with Dinah and her company. The staging was meant to be arriving on 26 October 2021 at 9 am. I was not advised they would be late. I was called at around 4.30 pm that the furniture would be arriving soon, after waiting around all day . It was about 6 pm when I came home and viewed it. They wanted me out of the house during installation of which I complied. As I was selling an elegant and upmarket home, it should have been staged accordingly and it wasn’t. The majority of the furniture that was supplied did not enhance or suit the property in any way. You were advised we were not happy with the calibre of it.

With 50% of the invoice already paid upfront upon your request as a deposit, we said we just wanted to try and make this all work for everyone and suggested keeping the bedroom staging and remove only the main lounge furniture – even though I did have 2 lounges. You chose to instead become defensive replying “not prepared to leave some of it and I think it is absolutely up to our usual standard” and “I have been doing this for 27 years and have never had to remove a home I installed so this is a first”. Then “the vendor is living there and has a cat” etc. (My cat was going to my daughter’s place upon staging arrival, of which I had told you). Also “I am an interior designer and have many high net worth clients, so I feel my judgement is accurate”. My place was immaculate as you would have seen had you opened her eyes or taken in what we were trying to explain with the style look we were seeking, suggesting nice pieces to give you an idea.

When the furniture was to be removed, we had to wait for a week for your movers to come and remove everything. It was meant to be Friday October 29 then it was moved to Monday 1 November saying it was not possible, then your movers arrived on 2 November a week from when it first arrived. There was no contact with me. Nothing during this time. This halted all the processes of my new staging, photography and listing the property.

As you took your time to collect the furniture, in that 1 week period we also had comments from several professional people who viewed the property who thought the staging was definitely not up to standard, so it was not only our thoughts! They can back me up.

We had waited and tried for months for the deposit to be returned which I paid upfront on 11 October 2021 of $2,357.50. You agreed to return it and I quote “Happy to remove the whole lot and just charge them for the removal cost”. You have only returned $632.50 on 9 December 2021 after many requests. You have therefore charged me $1,725.00 for your removal man which should go without saying, excessive..

I am ultimately the most reasonable and fair person around and don’t think what has happened is fair at all. I have a record of everything in my diary and email correspondence as backup of what I am saying.

You chose not to resolve anything fairly after being given 3 months to do so. You chose to get personal and claimed I was overthinking it.

We did ask to view your showroom, but you refused.

Your obligations and services under the Consumer Guarantee’s Act was not fit for purpose.

Please don’t ask my daughter again to advise me to remove my feedback on google reviews and threaten with repercussions if I don’t.

This is about the principle now more than anything. But it is never too late to try to resolve nicely. Up to you. Then I may consider improving my ‘feedback’.

Robyn.

Exceptional service and value. Highly recommend DMI Homestagers to anyone that wants to maximise the value (and speed up the process) of their home sale.

From the moment they came into our home, I could tell that they knew their stuff. The suggestions that they gave us, the ideas that they shared was amazing. We put our trust in them and I know I couldn’t have done this myself. I can’t thank them enough. It looked fabulous and everyone that came through to view the house thought the same as well. It looked bright, airy and welcoming. The way the furniture was placed showed off the best of our house and the photos that were used for on-line advertising really did make a difference. The on-line photos are the first look for the potential vendors and we had over 100 groups through the doors at Open Homes and 15 groups at the auction. I really do think the home staging played a big part in it. The price we paid was really realistic and well worth it. The process of delivering and installing the furniture and then collecting it afterwards was seamless and we were able to ask advice along the way. We sold at auction and cannot thank the team at DMI Homestagers enough for their part in it.

DMI recently staged our Ponsonby villa. The team were fantastic to deal with and did an amazing job.
It was no trouble working to our tight deadline during these busy times. Our house was transformed with the beautiful furniture and I believe largely contributed to our house selling after only 6 days on the market. Thanks again Philly and the team!

I have found Dinah and her team to be nothing but professional in their homestaging of my home. Dinah’s team arrived on time and were (kindly because I am not a decorator) very responsive to my comments, kindly swapping out one item to accommodate my preference. The home looked really lovely after they had finished and I received many positive comments from agents and people who visited the home about the quality of the presentation. The staging also looked really great in the photos. Dinah was also very flexible about the removal of the staging, keeping it on so as to take advantage of some unexpected late marketing opportunities. I would highly recommend DMI.

We always recommend DMI and we have now just had our home staged once again by Philly – What an incredible difference her foresight has made to our living spaces. She has been able to transform three of our rooms from nice to spectacular. Very clever furniture choices. The staff were so efficient during the stage install that it just miraculously appeared during the time I was busy with a meeting on my deck. Very reasonable rates and the service is so good I’d never think of using any other company. Thanks, once again.

Everything went really well with the team at DMI Homestagers. We were really happy with how the house looked and the suggestions they made. Everything was moved in and out of the house without any issues, and we really appreciated the extra effort that the team made on the move out day. Given part of our (long) driveway was out of action after the recent Auckland flooding it made it more difficult than it should have been to get the items all moved to the truck. However the team did it without any complaints and a special shout out to Callum who really helped manage things very well that day too and kept me well informed. Thank you DMI team.

Top place for home ideas.
Free parking up ramp.
And a great place to launch new products.
Working Boiling/Chilled/Sparkling Billi tap by reception for great drinking water.

Amazing showrooms for product selection AND there’s free visitor parking, which is very rare at Parnell! Very friendly staff and love browsing through products at my own pace without the crowd at The Auckland Home Show. A must go to destination for anyone that’s keen for design and building ideas!

Went because wife and daughter wanted to get ideas. Parking was available and wasn’t busy which was good as when we entered the show area we were the only ones there. Took probably 40 min there and there were certain things that caught my interest (see photos). I can’t otherwise get excited about the place.

Great atmosphere, super helpful staff, amazing place to hold our events

If you are thinking of building or renovating then this place is worth a visit to get design and material ideas. There are plenty of options for both indoor and outdoor areas of the house. Staff is friendly and there’s complimentary tea and coffee available on site. The best part is that there are no pushy salesperson. You are free to roam around and take as much time as possible. Entry is free apart from having to share your details. Once you like something then staff provides more information on samples and brochures etc.

Great place for home and garden inspiration!

Absolutely stunning.

For anyone building or renovating it is an absolute must!!

As a residential building company (Norwest Build ltd), we have had the pleasure of working alongside Rarebirds Interiors on several custom home projects, and we can confidently say they are our first and only choice when recommending interior designers to clients.
From initial concepts to final styling, the Rarebirds team brings a unique blend of creativity, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of spatial flow and functionality. They have a remarkable ability to translate a client’s vision into refined, liveable spaces that feel both timeless and original.
Their collaborative approach makes them a dream to work with. They communicate clearly, respect timelines, budgets and always elevate the overall quality of a build with beauty, practicality and originality. Every time they’re involved, we know the end result will be something truly special.
If you’re looking for an interior design team that is wholly focused on the best outcome for their clients it is Kelly, Sean and the Rarebirds team.

We had such a fantastic experience with Kelly and Sean from Rarebirds Interiors, who helped us completely transform our home in Meadowbank.

They listened so carefully to what we wanted — a home that felt welcoming, family-focused, and true to our lifestyle, with a mid-century modern edge — and brought it to life in a way that went above and beyond our expectations. Every detail was thought through with us, and the communication and collaboration throughout the project were amazing.

We now have a home that feels stylish, functional, and completely “us” — open-plan living with separate spaces for relaxing and entertaining, and a beautiful flow throughout.
If you’re thinking about refreshing or renovating your home, I couldn’t recommend Rarebirds Interiors more highly. They are true masters at what they do.

(P.S. I loved the process so much I now recommend Rare Birds Interiors to anyone wanting to create a home that feels truly personal and special.)

The team at Rare Birds did a wonderful job with our bathroom renovations. They were able to work around some tricky areas to provide some brilliant results. They were helpful and friendly from start to finish. I would definitely work with them again for future projects.

It is a pleasure to recommend Rarebirds Interiors. Kelly and Sean listened carefully to our wish list and presented fabulous creative ideas to our challenging job. Their team of contractors and suppliers were of the highest quality and needless to say we are delighted with the end result. Thanks guys for ensuring a smooth and great reno !

Natalie and I are ecstatic with how the house has turned out, the Rarebirds team have delivered a very high-quality outcome, one that we hope gets a few potential bidders excited on auction day.

Walking through the house, must compliment the teams attention to detail, not much (if anything) I can fault.

In addition, we both feel that there has been genuine care as to our best interest and discretionary effort to ensure same, this is sincerely appreciated.

Plumbline engaged Rarebirds to design a new area of the Plumbline Newmarket showroom to include a Sample Library, Office Area, Kitchenette, Customer Bathrooms & a Working Shower Display. Kelly & Sean delivered an exciting concept and we all enjoyed the collaborative design process, working through the finishes, tiles, colours etc. They listened to feedback and tweaked anything to suit the requirements of our team. This process was extremely easy, relaxed and enjoyable as they are super down to earth.

From design to completion they were very involved to ensure their vision was executed to the best standard possible. They met with multiple trades and the project managers throughout the project over many months .

The product specification was well detailed which has resulted in a beautiful quality fit out. Having now worked in the space for several months it is a real pleasure to be in. The consultation area works so well for our clients, the space is warm and inviting and receives amazing feedback from all who visit. Thanks Sean, Kelly and the Rarebirds team.

We’ve worked with Kelly and Sean from Rarebirds for 10+ years and are constantly amazed with the designs they come up with. They push the boundaries with stone design to come up with unique designs that sound crazy in planning but look spectacular once installed!

We love Catherine at Byrne Design! A fun, knowledgeable designer with her finger on the pulse with the latest trends. She encouraged us to take a few risks and we were very happy with the results. It was never a problem for her to help with additional questions and source what we were after when needed. We highly recommend!

Catherine is wonderful. She has assisted and held my hand through multiple areas of our new build. Her eye for detail is amazing and we are thrilled with the end result…. although we still need some help with soft furnishings. Thanks again Catherine for all your help. You made the difference between a good finish and a great one !!

Catherine has helped me with 4 major projects over the last 10 years. All were very different, a large villa renovation, an inner city apartment, a cottage and large farm house, Catherine was able to help guide me through the challenges of each project. Her bubbly personality, enthusiasm, dedication and expertise has made each project enjoyable as well as running smoothly. Her knowledge of all things interior and her eye for detail plus her ability to understand our needs for each project was outstanding. I can highly recommend her. Helen

We have worked with Catherine in a number of settings – our our home (interior), residential investment properties (interior and exterior) and also business (rest homes / retirement villages). Catherine’s advice and service has been outstanding in all of these situations. She is a real joy to work with, producing an outstanding end product. We look forward to working with Catherine again and thoroughly recommend her.

Catherine has assisted us with many of our home projects over the last 10+ years. From our renovated kitchen, bathrooms, replacement of furniture, curtains and styling Catherine has guided us through making the best choices for our lifestyle and family. She is always pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to work with often suggesting out of the box ideas to contain costs. We have really enjoyed working with Catherine and look forward to undertaking many more projects with her!

Catherine is a joy to work with, I really like her direct approach.
She has a fantastic eye for design and takes all the hard work out of renovating decisions. I will use her services again and recommend her to other people.

Catherine is amazing to deal with and she is incredibly skilled and talented as an interior designer. She had helped us on a number of occasions and we have always been thrilled with the results. She is a pleasure to deal with and I couldn’t recommend Catherine highly enough!

The whole team work perfectly, professional and good value. My client is very happy for the beautiful presented home staging. I will definitely recommend to my clients again and highly recommended to all other agents!

I recently rented furniture from Living Edge Interiors in Auckland and had an outstanding experience. Becky was incredibly helpful throughout the process, ensuring everything went smoothly. The delivery team was amazing, handling everything with care and professionalism. Highly recommend their services!

We were absolutely, beyond thrilled with the team at Living Edge Interiors. Not only were they an absolute pleasure to deal with; their home staging was totally perfect! We also appreciated that somehow, they managed to install and remove all furniture with no damage to the brand house… impressive! We have used other staging companies before but, for the same costs, Living Edge was next level perfection.
We have no doubt that the presentation was a major part of us getting a record breaking price. Thank you so much Living Edge Interiors, we are very grateful.

Sharon, Becky, Lucy and their amazing team are exceptional to engage with. I have been using them for many years and just love their fresh, contemporary style. They are always prompt, super efficient and my clients walk into their homes after the ladies have left with beaming smiles! They make the marketing of the home an easy process and the photographs really do stand out from the rest, as does Living Edge! 🙂

Amazing service from the whole team especially Becky, Sammi and Andrea. Nothing was a problem (when I had a few issues on my end) extremely professional and kind. The results of the staging are beyond expectations and I wish I had used Living Edge sooner, it makes me want to not sell my home!! Thanks so much ladies, the best in the business and so worth the money.

Living Edge are my ‘go to’ home staging company. Very responsive at all times and ready to assist my clients prepare their homes ready for market. Their interior designers are experienced and really understand how to present every home beautifully. Not only will they stage an entire home but they will also utilise the client’s own existing furnishings where possible. I find them to be the best out there today.

I am an independent stylist and use Living Edge Interiors furniture hire facility and expertise for my interior design and full staging projects. The team are always reliable, safe and offer a high end prompt service with beautiful unique pieces that have set up my room designs with the wow factor. Their expertise, communication, winning sense of style and always going the extra mile gives me confidence for my clients and a seamless successful project. i couldn’t recommend them any more.

We struggled to select all the cabinet finishes, wall colours and fittings for my recently renovated kitchen. We came to ask Edward and Claire for help. They provided outstanding kitchen design services by selecting the finishes, tiles and fittings, for our lovely kitchen and even the wall paint colours for my house. Their expertise and attention to detail ensured everything aligned perfectly with my vision. Edward and Claire’s personalised approach made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. The quality of their selections is impeccable, we highly recommend Edward and Claire for their excellent service and design expertise.
Thank you for transforming my kitchen into a space. We love it!

We recently purchased a villa in Ponsonby and reached out to Claire and Edward for their interior design expertise. We engaged them to create a custom media unit, design office joinery, and to help furnish the place. From the start, they impressed us with their creativity and attention to detail. They really took the time to listen to our ideas and understand our taste, and the designs they presented exceeded our expectations.

The whole process was professional. Even while we were overseas, they kept us informed every step of the way, reassuring us that our home was in good hands. Their furnishing recommendations, such as the rugs and light fixtures, were exactly what we were after and definitely enhanced the spaces. We love the final results, and we really enjoyed working with Claire and Edward. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with their interior design.

My partner and I reached out to Ritual Interiors to renovate our home in central Auckland, which involved installing a new kitchen and laundry, increasing the size of the living room and refinishing the doors and floors throughout.

We couldn’t be happier with the end result. Claire designed a beautiful and contemporary interior that suited the style of our home, and Edward ensured the project ran smoothly from start to finish.

I highly recommend Ritual Interiors and hope to use their interior design services again in the future.

We had the pleasure of working with Edward and Claire on designing our new boutique nail salon, and we were thoroughly impressed. Their design skills are top-notch, and the level of detail in the documentation was outstanding. Communication and coordination with the contractors were seamless, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We always felt that our interests were a top priority, and we knew we could rely on them every step of the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future.

My husband and I recently built a new home and wanted to work with an interior designer to help us select interior and exterior finishes that would complement the architecture. We found Ritual Interiors online and were immediately drawn to their clean, modern style.

We worked closely with Claire and Edward Tyler throughout the project, and they were both incredibly talented, professional, and approachable. They truly cared about helping us achieve our vision and were excellent communicators. Claire and Edward helped us select the perfect finishes and procure furniture for our new home, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results.

We would highly recommend Ritual Interiors for any residential interior design or interior decorating projects. Thank you, Claire and Edward Tyler, for all your help!

Eddie and Claire were absolutely outstanding from start to finish, turning our dream kitchen into a reality. Their attention to detail is unparalleled—they thought of every aspect, from precise measurements to optimizing usability and design. They went above and beyond by restructuring our original kitchen & bathroom, maximising both functionality and space. Their expertise saved us countless hours of potential issues with tradies, making the entire process seamless. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking for exceptional quality and service!

I recently hired Ritual Interiors to help me furnish my new apartment in Remuera, Auckland. Claire did an exceptional job helping me choose furniture and window coverings for my living and dining area. She took the time to understand my style preferences and offered expert advice on how to create a cohesive and inviting space.

One thing that really stood out was Claire’s ability to incorporate my existing dining set into the new build. We decided to re-upholster the dining chairs, and she picked a tasteful fabric that fit in with the other modern furnishings. This attention to detail and willingness to work with what I already had made the process even more enjoyable.

Ritual Interiors also helped with the procurement of the furniture pieces, which was a great help. They made the entire process seamless and stress-free, ensuring that everything was delivered and installed on time and to my satisfaction.

Overall, I highly recommend Ritual Interiors to anyone looking for a professional and reliable interior design service. Claire’s communication skills, attention to detail, and design expertise truly made a difference in transforming my new space into a beautiful and functional living area.

Fabulous store full of lots of great interior design and gift ware. Staff are always so helpful!

I have browsed in this lovely store when in Auckland some time ago. I was drawn to a bed linen ad in a mag recently which Led me to their website. I am looking forward to visiting next week. Such lovely things.

Shopping at Allium Interiors is a treat for the senses, delicious scents to striking colours! No visit is the same, with changing displays and products, I know I will always find the exact treat for myself or gift I am after at Allium.
The staff are friendly and very helpful, and always go above & beyond to make sure their customers are satisfied.

Hello Saturday has made our space look great. After having a stressful time with renovations they came in and gave input on the colour scheme and gave us great pieces for the space. They made the process effortless and I will definitely recommend them.

Mary-Ellen was fantastic to work with. Communication was great, she listened to our brief, gave us amazing options within our budget and we absolutely love our renovated house. Thanks for your amazing work!

We used Hello Saturday when we needed some advice on furniture for our new home. Mary-Ellen was excellent, really took into consideration our likes and dislikes, and the challenges of young busy family. She took all of the legwork out of the process and introduced us to furniture and suppliers we never would have found on our own. We’re really happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Hello Saturday if you’re renovating or just after a re-fresh in your own home.

Mary-Ellen was fantastic to work with. As first-home buyers, we didn’t really know where to start with interiors, but Mary-Ellen has made it easy to do one step at a time, working with our time-frame, ideas and budget. Having the choices narrowed down for us made the process so much easier, and the suppliers were all great as well.

Mary-Ellen was fantastic. She created lovely living spaces for our busy home. She was really flexible and kept looking for items until we were happy. Highly recommend Hello Saturday.

Mary-Ellen had great advice and simplified the entire design process for me. I loved having someone to discuss ideas and style decisions with. I definitely recommend Hello Saturday to help with any projects or to provide large-scale home interior design advice.

We used Hello Saturday for our recent renovation, and were really impressed with Mary-Ellen’s calm, practical approach to the process as well as her eye for design. She listened to what we loved and pulled together mood boards that matched our tastes – making it super easy to decide what we wanted to go ahead with. As two busy working parents, having Hello Saturday source samples, deal with suppliers, order items so they’d arrive in time and oversee installation where required was invaluable. She made sure everything ran smoothly, and followed up with suppliers if there were any issues. All in all she saved us tons of time, reduced our stress and made the whole process so easy. It was also great to get her supplier discount! We’d certainly recommend Hello Saturday for any renovation.

I’d wanted to give our living spaces and kitchen a bit of a refresh for ages! I’d made a few costly design mistakes in the past so I booked one of Stacey’s Interior Design Workshops and for 90 minutes she patiently listened to my scramble of ideas, gave me her thoughts, came up with some wonderful – and more cost-effective – alternatives and talked me through flooring and carpet samples. She followed up with a detailed overview of everything we discussed, including links to (amazing!) furniture manufacturers and suppliers I’d never even heard of, even reaching out to companies on my behalf to see what could be done. I now have a cohesive design plan, have booked appointments and can’t wait to get started!

Stacey was lovely, knowledgeable and has great style – I highly recommend her.

Stacey Gillies embodies the essence of impeccable style and professionalism. Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. To anyone looking for an Interior Designer in Auckland, I wholeheartedly recommend Stacey Gillies Interiors talented and trustworthy services. With her interior design expertise, passion, and impeccable style, she will undoubtedly exceed your expectations and bring your vision to life.

Stacey is a knowledgeable interiors professional who has a solid understanding of colours, materials and finishes. Her ability to come up with creative concepts that are highly personalised to her clients is what sets her apart.

We are a kitchen manufacturing company (Kitchenmaker) and worked alongside Stacey during a kitchen renovation. Stacey was very professional to deal with and had great ideas to bring the kitchen from an ordinary kitchen to a unique and stand-out kitchen. Stacey has great attention to detail and we would be delighted to work alongside her again in the future!

Stacey is an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes care to get to know your personal style and lifestyle / and comes armed with concise recommendations. Really made my life so much easier. Stacey also happily managed huge parts of the project right through to installation and follow-up. It was quite magical to have everything ‘just happen’.
Thoroughly recommend!!!

Stacey designed my office space. As a psychologist, I wanted my room to be a calm, warm and inviting space. She nailed it with a great choice in lighting, wall colour and furnishings. I often have clients commenting how much they like the space, and would highly recommend her services.

Stacey’s eye for design and details is fabulous. After sending her a ideas board and some plans from Queenstown to Auckland she worked with us to create the perfect space for our boutique cosmetic clinic that we adore and so do our clients. Stacey is so down to earth, friendly and really wonderful to work with highly highly highly recommend. Her sense of style is unique love it!
