Contemporary with a twist

Putting the finishing touches on your interior can often be a hit and miss affair. Understanding how individual and sometimes disjointed items can work together to create a unified look is something that takes a good eye and years of experience. So, a good starting point when dressing your home would be to consultan expert.

The team of experienced interior designers at Living Edge Interiors offers helpful advice and tips on how to get the best out of your interior. Interior designer Mark Pritchard says consultants at Living Edge visit your home or office in order to appraise the space, take the time to listen and understand your requirements, and then achieve your ideal living environment.

"Our experienced designers will help develop the initial concept and continue to work with the client through to the final stages.

"Our designers also work around the principle of a well-designed wardrobe offering exciting mixes of old and new," he says.

Accessing local manufacturers allows the company to provide numerous options and means it can source large quantities of items, often needed for hotel or apartment projects. Fast local turnaround times also ensure customised designs are completed quickly.

Much of the stock held in the company's showrooms reflects an eclectic mix.

"Our buyers search locally and abroad for current design ideas and products, and also to keep abreast of developing trends," Pritchard says.

The company provides a number of services, including showhome styling, enhancements, interior design, colour consultancy and also interior design tutoring.

Interior design classes offered through Living Edge are with resident interior designer and colour consultant Sylvia Sanford, who has 25 years of experience in interior design and consultation.

Living Edge has showrooms throughout the North Island, with two locations in Auckland situated at Balmoral and Dominion Roads, and 10 Manukau Road, Newmarket. Other stores include 242 Thorndon Quay, Wellington, and Napier central on the corner of Kennedy Road and Wellesley Street, with 143 Durham Street Tauranga opening in June.
