Interior Design project: Cottage in Arch Hill
This Arch Hill home started life as a modest worker’s cottage in the 1880s and has been given a new identity that champions contemporary living while referencing the history of the structure. Architect Richard Furze’s asymmetrical pitched ceiling belies the tiny cottage exterior and opens into a spacious and light-filled living area. The home, which was originally a two room space, now includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen and living area and a study.

Included in the interior design concept, by Billie Kinsey, are Monmouth Glass Studio works, designer wallpaper, Moooi carpet, NZ artworks and custom-made drapes and refurbishments. Billie Kinsey also designed several bespoke pieces of furniture for the home including an enclosed study with recessed bi-fold doors and handcrafted bunks for the children' room featuring reading lights, book shelves and hidden toy cupboards. 

Although the outcome of the renovation is a modern living space, at the owners request, certain quirks remain. A corrugated iron shed that was inherited with the property still stands at the back of the garden and is used as an additional guest room, and an outdoor fireplace and corner planted with native bush remind them of summertime camping adventures.

Interior Design project: Home by the Bay
A renovation project for a client wanting to mix the hues of the nearby ocean with some bold palette choices in an update of her mid-century home. We used the depth and texture of Porter’s Paints to achieve the misty, muted wall tones and Middle Earth Tiles in the bathrooms to create statement features. Velvet and tulle in sea fog and ocean greens made the perfect accompaniments.

Kid's Rooms
We love designing creative, practical spaces for children. In 2015 Billie Kinsey was selected as one of the interior designers for the TV show My Dream Room: Kids Edition, which sparked an ongoing interest in design for children.
