A journey across the continents turned a vision into reality with the creation of this Scandi inspired alpine home nestled in the stunning Queenstown landscape.
To help you make the most of the summer months, here’s our ultimate guide to getting your home summer-ready!
We are passionate about infusing every day life with style and edge. Each of our projects is infused with KFD Interiors signature style, a style we are super excited for you to now share in your own home with our carefully curated selection of home accessories.
More than any other room in your home, the master suite should feel like a sanctuary. And we love to make these bedrooms hotel standard - bringing a boutique hotel blend of maximum style plus maximum comfort to a small space.
Our clients brought this home for it’s incredible views and beach side location with a vision to modernise the home for a new era. The first area for attention was the kitchen, where the style, design and colour palette would be continued throughout the home.
This client took on a labour of love when she purchased this grand old lady. The 1890's villa had weathered over time, and while some period features were still beautifully preserved, a major renovation was definitely in order. The home is now the perfect blend of heritage details and modern, fresh finishes.
This home is almost totally unrecognisable from the cobweb-clad beachside bach it was when our client first purchased it. The client was downsizing in scale, but didn’t want to compromise on style. Kirsten Ford Design completely reimagined the space to create a home as a true reflection of its owner: modern, stylish, well travelled.

Last month I was fortunate enough to attend Design + Decor in Melbourne. This is Australia's leading interiors event showcasing the latest interior products and furnishings from Australia, New Zealand and around the world.
What an amazing experience - the interior designer's equivalent of Disneyland!
So what were the four key trends I took away from the show?

One of the fun perks of my job is being invited to trade shows to view & experience the latest from suppliers. Urbis Design Day Pro was a fantastic day full of inspiration as suppliers showcased their furniture & showrooms. The perfect way to get the inside edge on new suppliers & the very latest offerings!

March means that autumn is here already. One upside to saying goodbye to summer is autumn interiors - the richer colour palette and more luxurious textures. I'm loving a mix of textures this season - leather, smoked glass, marble, velvet and furs. Spicy paprika accents on matte black metal.

With our love of nature and the great outdoors it's really no wonder that the hue of green is starting to trend in a big way in our interiors. And Pantone (the US colour gurus) have declared that foliage-based Kale Green (yes, it's not just a food trend!) will be one of the colours of the year for 2017.
