Elegant Simplicity
Kelburn, Wellington
Elegant Simplicity
A refined and layered home that celebrates global influence, personal expression, and timeless design.
This Wellington residence was designed for an American family with a deep appreciation for culture, art, and considered living. The brief was to create cohesive and inviting spaces that would seamlessly integrate their cherished artworks, modern furnishings, and the architectural character of their classic home.
Drawing inspiration from New York loft living, the calm restraint of Scandinavian interiors, and touches of Rococo elegance, the design brings together a diverse range of influences in a way that feels harmonious and effortless.
Through careful curation and thoughtful layering, we created a home that reflects the individuality of each family member—resulting in interiors that feel warm, sophisticated, and deeply personal.
REVIEW
“Sandy and the D for Design team are fantastic to work with. They helped us realise a vision for our home that incorporated the whole family and our unique needs and styles, and dealt with some quirky architecture and odd angles to create a flowing, easy to use living space. The outcome is a comfortable, beautiful environment where we can entertain and enjoy - we are pinching ourselves that we live in such a beautiful home. As an expat it was important for me to have someone who could source furnishings and accessories that were accessible in New Zealand, and who could be creative when there were things that we just couldn’t get. Sandy has an eye for timeless design and quality materials, and is a pleasure to work with. I am delighted to recommend D for Design!”
