About
I understand that a seamless renovation experience is what my busy clients expect and I strive to provide professional customised service backed up with industry experience, knowhow and sound processes”. KCandy&Co. Interiors is a full service interior design studio for existing residential projects located both in Auckland central and the city’s fringe suburbs. I’m often asked, “what is your style?”, The truth is it’s not about me. It’s my role to unearth your style by asking all the right questions and taking the time to discover your hidden design aesthetic. Then telling your story through my creation, resulting in an authentic design unique to you.
Hi I’m Karen
I grew up at Muriwai Beach and have a special place in my heart for Auckland’s wild west coast beaches. A creative at heart, I grew up free range building bush huts, surfing and exploring. My professional career began in graphic design followed by 17 years specialising in the energy efficiency and renovation of older homes. This experience allowed me to develop an understanding of existing house construction and how to incorporate key aspects into a home to transform it in to a healthy warm quiet sanctuary.
I completed a diploma of Interior Design from New Zealand’s Interior Design Institute in 2016 and launched my own business at that time, quickly establishing a reputation for offering a professional design service, exceptional client communication and for delivering beautifully designed interiors. Specialising in renovations, alterations and additions, I work with clients, their architects and builders and from the concept-to-completion of a project.
I also love working with colour and I’m a trained colour professional. I relish the opportunity to resolve homeowners paint colour conundrums. Colour is my favourite discipline in my interior design practice and my advice is backed up with sound knowledge in the practicalities of painting. I understand co-ordinating paint colours for a home can be a daunting prospect so I skillfully guide you through the paint colour selection process.
