Thanks Richard for the run down today!

Design Board almost ready to go for a this teen boys bedroom makeover 💚🖤

Last night I had a Zoom meeting for a passion project I'm involved in for our family's football club and upgrades for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023. It was very exciting to see the concepts from the architects involved specifically the use of elements and signage within the team changing rooms and toilet facilities.

❔️What is wayfinding❔️

Wayfinding is knowing where you are physically, and how to get where you want to be in a space. Well used wayfinding design elements should be intuitive and nonverbal. It helps users of the spaces to access the various areas within a building which helps reduce stress and increase efficiency.

You will have seen some examples of wayfinding in hospitals, parking buildings (different colours for different levels) and office buildings.

These examples I found on Pinterest are some super colourful examples of wayfinding in practice.

I can't wait to see this particular project develop over the next 10 months 🤩

After a heck of a ride for the homeowners, the Waipukarau bathroom is finished and looking amazing 😍

No easy feat and part of a larger project a tiny toilet room, bathroom and external access laundry has been transformed into a haven.

Loving these travertine and marble handle options from Lo & Co 🤍

Tiles and Rugs on todays menu...exquisite ones at that!

Decisions, decisions...

Which roof colour would you go for?

These 3 are...

◽ Gull Grey
◽ Sandstone Grey
◽ Grey Friars

Since I fell into the bathroom design industry years ago I fell in love with tiles and how much wow factor you can create with them.

The amount of tiles that look like almost like wallpaper available these days is outstanding.

These are just a couple of designs I spotted at this week 🖤

It's been a minute but I wrote a blog post!

I've made a list of things to consider when planning the electrical side of a renovation (or even a new build).

That's a wrap on the working year for Chrysalis Design....it's been a memorable one that's for sure, whether we want to remember it or not I think we will.

I hope that everyone has a lovely summer break. Enjoy time with family and friends and soak up lots of that Vitamin D from the sunshine.

Merry Christmas and have a safe and happy start to the new year.

2022 you better be good to us!

Hello December!

If you haven't already it's time to crack out the Christmas decorations🎄 and crank up your Christmas Spotify playlist 🎶

Can you tell I love Christmas?

Do you love Christmas?

The house seems very empty and too quiet today with my 2 lockdown buddies returning to school for their 1 day this week.

I thought I would enjoy this peace but I'm really missing them 💙

When I was a teenager I dreamt of a room full of cushions with a glass ceiling. I would imagine myself lying on the cushions staring up at the stars.

Pretty sure I could achieve this as an adult with the Sheepskin Stone Set by 😍

I know it's been a minute...about a month in fact since my last post but I've been trying to "just keep swimming" as Dory would say.
Auckland woke up to yet another day in lockdown with only a very complicated roadmap back to "normality" in front of us.
I am well and truly over it, as are my children 😔. We are just taking it a day at a time at the moment and that is hard in itself. We can't plan ahead because we don't know what Level/Step we will be in.
Big virtual hugs to those that a struggling too xx

What we can still plan is our outdoor living at home! Summer is just around the corner and while us Aucklanders are stuck at home we can work on getting our outdoor areas ready for more outdoor living☀️

Loving this little outdoor setting here from House 5 😍

Hello Spring 🍃

A step closer to warmer weather 🌤

I hope everyone out there is coping ok in lockdown, whichever level you're currently in.

I have my ups and downs, definitely getting my days muddled up at times!

Look after yourselves xx

Excited to see this bathroom colour scheme come to life 😍

From this colour selection to ➡️ this warm inviting home.

Soft, warm finishes that are just so easy to live with 👌🏼

~ CLIENT TESTIMONIAL ~

The lovely Sasha wrote this wonderful testimonial a while ago now but I keep forgetting to share!

I'm not one for putting myself in the spotlight but for business I know I should 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you Sasha 💜

Spent the morning at getting to date with my and samples plus checking out the exciting new Dezignatek profiles Berlin and Prague 🖤

deliciousness 😍😍 ohhh the colours!!

Fresh Retro Love "Winegum" collection...my favourite is the "Berry" 🍓

Received some gorgeous architectural interior linings samples from / MLC Group the other day.

So many applications are springing to mind for current and future projects, such a great way to add depth and texture to a space.

If I had to pick a favourite I would probably go for Egmont (the bottom left black sample)....Ninety Mile is up there too 😉

From chaos to cohesive....narrowing down exterior cladding options today
