About

Hi, I'm Shannon. I have spent more than 20 years designing beautiful spaces for everyday people like yourself. Along the way collating a diverse portfolio of projects, a wealth of knowledge and more recently also adding to the team with two beautiful children Max and Sadie.

With a down to earth approach, my focus is to inspire you with a finished project that exceeds your expectations and you're proud to call your own. Collaboration is very much at the forefront of every project reflecting your unique personality and lifestyle, coupled with my skills and knowledge.
Being passionate about all facets of design is something that I live by and thrive on keeping up to date with trends, suppliers and attending design fairs/shows nationally and internationally.

My qualifications include Certificate in Interior décor, Diploma in Kitchen Design and I'm a Certified kitchen designer. I'm a member of the Certified Kitchen Designers Society as well as a member of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association NKBA.

As a child I was always artistic and constantly kept myself busy doing something creative, unbeknown that this was going to follow me later through life into a career I love.

Winning awards for "Best Kitchen Design Auckland Region" and "Best Classic / Traditional Kitchen Design for New Zealand" in 2015 was a real achievement. I'm proud of and humbled to be recognised by my peers and competitors, for my design skills and dedication to an industry I love.

Interior designer for new build Auckland

F A Q ' S

Why should I hire an interior designer?

A designer will add a cohesive touch to your spaces ensuring each area flows to the next, which in turn will add visual appeal and have your home stand out from others.

At what stage should I hire an interior designer?

I would say asap as some things may need to be tweaked on your plans before they head for consent. Plumbing and electrical positions for your spaces are needed very early on in the construction process also so the earlier the better we get started for you.

Will hiring an interior design service help our project stay on budget?

Yes. As all decisions are made early on in the process which means you can get detailed quotes, Designers will also design your space with your budget in mind offering products and solutions to keep you on track.

Will investing an interior designer service add value to my home?

Absolutely! As we can ensure calculated decisions are made getting them right the first time eliminating mistakes and headaches.

How long will it take to receive my interior design specifications?

It all comes down to planning and preparation. The more information you can give your designer about your requirements and desired finished look, the quicker the designer can get started on concepts and get back to you. You will usually have some concepts back within a week of the initial consultation. This can also depend upon the stage of the project.

Can you source specified fixtures, materials and furnishings for us?

Yes. All the hard work in sourcing materials at the right price is already done through SP Design's network of preferred contacts and suppliers.

What area are you based in New Zealand?

SP Design are based in North Auckland, but we can cover wider areas as requested.

How much are your interior design consultancy fees?

Each job is quoted specific to the services required whether it's a packaged price or an hourly charge we can chat and find out what best works for you.

What do I need to bring to our first interior design consultancy meeting?

If you have some a set of plans is a must, also any images, or content you have been saving which may have a look, feel or vision which you feel you're trying to create.
