MY STORY

My story started as a creative young girl sewing up a storm on my mother’s old sewing machine, designing, making and selling lingerie to design stores in Newmarket (while still in high-school), working in costume departments for film and TV and finally running my own fashion label for 6 years.

While working in fashion, I also renovated 3 homes, which always filled me with inspiration and a passion for the industry. And then the creative tug of war began, with interior design sitting on my shoulder wanting more attention. Eventually Interiors stole my heart and won the design battle.

I have always been obsessed with design and particularly the use of COLOUR (my happy place). Colour changes a space dramatically and sets a great stage for designing a gorgeous space, filled with personality.  Layer in some amazing textures, shapes and some PLANTS  (your new best friend) and you have a unique and insanely cool place to live in.

Your home should tell the STORY of your life and reflect the people that live there. It should be full of colour, plants, curiosities and little corners that make you smile and bring back happy memories.

The design process is a journey, that we will go on together. I will help transform your vision, with a fun and stress-free approach, focused on listening, translating and creating a space that you love living in and fills you with pleasure.

So take me around your home and let’s see how we can make it TELL YOUR STORY.

CLIENT LOVE

Erina has been truly incredible in transforming our home. She has great talent working with what you have, what you want to keep and adding new pieces, working within your budget.

Her ability to totally transform a room is really clever. Our house has never felt connected throughout. I am so thrilled with what she has done for us to rectify this and create some themes and connection.

She has also created a beautiful outside space that now feels like another room, not just the  back deck and transformed our entrance which now has great seating, plants and colours that just pop. I am getting so many comments about how amazing it looks. My dream would be to have Erina do the entire interior design of a home from scratch!

Liddy Sanders

Erina’s style is totally awesome and completely unique.  She has an extraordinary eye especially for the eccentric, the one offs and the eclectic which suited us perfectly.

She is quick and stays on brief and budget.

I highly recommend her.

Imogen Larid

We have been so fortunate to have Erina’s expertise in creatively incorporating new styles and furniture with the existing look in the living areas in our home.

Erina has a real talent for colour and spatial design and combines this with a high work ethic and exceptional project management skills. She also brings a freshness to living spaces with her knowledge and clever use of plants.

Erina’s warmth and connection ensures she is highly attuned to what the client is trying to achieve (and she is endlessly patient!).

The magic she has achieved in our living area and outdoor deck has been transformational and we have fallen in love with our home all over again!

Hannah Ross

What can I say… I LOVE working with Erina! Her sense of style and fun coupled with her desire to get down to the nitty gritty of what we are looking to achieve for our home, takes her absolutely to the next level.

She embraces working in with what we already have, loves to ‘upcycle’ the unloved and once the brief has been fully absorbed she offers up fabulous options, and at different price points.

She has taken the spaces she has worked on thus far from ‘blah’ to ‘holy moly’ and I cannot wait to get her involved with our next space that needs her magic.

Thank you, Erina. You are a breath of fresh air with your flair and talent. We love how you have made our home sing. XX

Ketiesha Love for Erina!

I used Erina’s interior design skills after I bought a beach house built and decorated in the 1970’s. It had good bones, but the interior was truly hideous. I knew with the right finishes and furnishings it could be amazing but I was time poor, lacked vision and had limited funds (see above: I bought a beach house).

What I liked most about working with Erina, apart from the fact she had a natural flare for this stuff, is that Erina embraced the project but did not take over, providing me with many choices/ possible combinations often electronically via mood boards which I could ponder at leisure.

Erina has a knack of not being pushy but directs you when you are flailing. Her mood boards save you oodles of time and I think her trade discounts almost covered her fees so a no brainer.

The real estate agent who sold me the property was astounded by the transformation, and commented it was the best do up she had seen. If you are short on time, want a new look, but lack the confidence in doing it on your own, Erina is your woman.

Rachael Bergman

I recently bought my own home and wanted to make to my home some where I loved to be.

Erina helped me so much I didn’t know where to start! She made it to easy. Having a plan made things so much better. Also, she stuck within my budget.

My home is now filled with colour I love it! It makes me happy and proud. I would recommend Erina to everyone.

Kelly Melvin

I engaged Erina to help me revamp a few areas in my home with a view to getting it ready to sell. She gave great practical advice (including not to spend money on some things), was very mindful of the discussed budget and came up with some fantastic options and ideas.

I am really happy with the end result and working with Erina was an absolute pleasure – she is engaging, knowledgeable and has a fantastic eye for colour and spatial design. I truly believe that spending money on Erina’s professional and knowledgeable advice saves both time and money in the long run!

Sarah McLeay

I had so much fun working with Erina. It made it easier for me to bounce ideas around and make quick decisions having her to work alongside us as we renovated.

She found the perfect balance of style, practicality and encouraged us to introduce a splash of colour, which I love.

Hayley Lewis

Erina gives 100% to her work, she is both Professional and Creative.

Erina works well with colour and creates stylish spaces. When she says she will do something she absolutely does.

I enjoyed Erina’s variable options that were always offered, she sees things through to the end. She is always working to get the best for her client.

Johanna May Manks

Erina is very creative with a great sense of style. She sourced items and passed on exceptional advice with her easy way of communication, ensuring that she brought my vision to life.

Her attention to detail ensured that all aspects of the design were covered and within my budget.

I would absolutely recommend Erina, she saved me money and created a retreat that I love and never want to leave.
