ABOUT

Wentworth Interiors is an Auckland-based interior design practice led by Donna Higginson, who brings more than 25 years of experience to considered residential interiors. Working across New Zealand and internationally, we shape refined, enduring spaces around each client, their lifestyle, and the character of their setting.

 

We work to a level of detail that takes in every surface and furnishing, from wall coverings, drapery and upholstery through to furniture, lighting and art. Pieces are sourced from leading European houses, New Zealand makers and suppliers, and our own designs made locally. Our approach is guided by quality, thoughtful detail, and a belief that good design should last.

SERVICES

Each project is shaped around the individual client, their lifestyle, and the qualities of the setting, with every element considered as part of the whole. We take a project from concept and spatial planning through to final installation, and our involvement can be scaled to suit.

1 

Interior Design

We create considered, enduring interiors that respond to the architecture, the setting and the way each client lives. From initial concepts and spatial planning through to the finer details, we develop a cohesive design vision that brings together layout, materials and colour, wall coverings, joinery, drapery, upholstery, furniture, lighting and art.

 

Our approach is highly personal, and nothing is treated as an afterthought, down to the upholstered headboard and the lining of a curtain.

2

Design Consultation

Tailored advice and creative direction for clients refining or developing an existing interior. This might be a single room, a fabric or furniture selection, or broader questions of layout, materials and lighting.

 

Where our Interior Design service carries a whole project from concept to completion, consultation offers an experienced perspective on a defined piece of work.

3

Furnishings, Finishes, & Art

We specify and supply the full interior, including wall coverings, drapery and blinds, upholstery and headboards, rugs, cushions and bed linen, alongside furniture, lighting and art.

 

Longstanding relationships with leading European manufacturers sit alongside pieces we design and have made locally, and a wide network of New Zealand makers, suppliers and retailers. Each selection is made on its merits, from bespoke commissions through to a single considered piece.

4

Project Coordination

We work closely with architects, builders, trades and suppliers to bring the design from concept through to completion.

 

From coordinating specifications and orders to overseeing delivery and installation, we make sure the individual elements come together as intended. Where clients have their own trades or suppliers in place, we work alongside them.

TESTIMONIALS

Nicola A.

"Donna and Peter were amazing right from the beginning helping us develop an overall plan in terms of building work and interior design. Peter coordinated all tradespeople and the renovation process with Donna overseeing every detail. She listened to what we wanted to achieve and our preferences. Furniture we already had was incorporated into the new design and some pieces repurposed cleverly by Donna.

 

Furniture selection, paint/ wallpaper, lighting, artwork and soft furnishings were researched and presented to us for choice by Donna. This was such an enjoyable process with Donna’s skilful ability to know what we liked but also introduce some other beautiful aspects not thought of by us, to create an apartment that exceeds all our expectations.

 

The care, time and attention detail generously given to us by Donna, Pete and Sarsfield Brooke has been amazing and very much appreciated. We love our new space thank you."
