Why Use an Interior Designer?

When it comes to transforming your home or workspace, many people wonder: Why use an interior designer? The answer is simple – hiring a professional can save you time, money, and stress, while creating a space that’s both functional and beautiful.

Interior designers are trained to see the big picture. They understand how to blend style, function, and practicality to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s a cozy living room, a modern kitchen, or a complete home makeover, a designer ensures every detail works together harmoniously.

Using an interior designer also helps you avoid costly mistakes. From choosing the right furniture and fabrics to selecting colours that complement your space, their expertise ensures your investment in your home is worthwhile.

In short, using an interior designer is not just a luxury—it’s a smart choice for anyone looking to create a space that reflects their personality while being functional and stylish.

The success stories.

Mal Corboy has worked for our company for the past 10 years. He focuses on high quality and beautiful luxury designs. Mal has designed our exclusive luxury lodge and range in the north, The Range NZ. We were thrilled with his overall focus and vision and quality products used. He has also designed EYE magazine offices and a luxury apartment in the city with an outstanding result.  Mal and his team are highly skilled with fulfilling the entire design concept and project management and his attention to detail is incredible.

"Anything is possible” says Mal, and it becomes reality. Mal has helped us twice to create the most amazing homes, first a renovation on a three-storey house seven years ago, then a high-end apartment last year. Mal acted as our interior designer providing guidance on all our interior decor matters. He has creative display skills which are modern yet classic and elegant. His guidance and knowledge of colour schemes, furniture, flooring, cabinetry, home appliances and accessories, are truly invaluable. We found Mal’s sense of lighting totally magical! He is friendly, understanding, encouraging and is such a good listener. Mal can make everything possible in the interior designing scenes.

Mal Corboy is truly an expert in his chosen field. From start to finish the project was managed perfectly, we are delighted with the end result & have had great comments from our friends & also Box Living, who built our house, about the quality of the craftsmanship. The modern touches e.g. the hidden toe kick drawers & quality closures really make the kitchen special & a real centrepiece to our new home. Mal also nailed the colour scheme which fits perfectly with the rest of our home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Mal to anyone looking for that “extra special & unique kitchen.”
