Interior Design Studio

Sophisticated Interior Design & Styling

"I passionately believe in creating ‘homes’ – beautiful and stylish spaces that encompass your history and stories, your likes and inspirations; homes that are inviting, original, functional and beautiful."

KATY HUSBAND

Designing a home is a personal venture – a home provides the canvas on which we can illustrate who we are. Feather & Oak Interiors is a full-service interior design firm that designs homes from concept to completion, from new builds to renovations, that stand the test of time. Based in Northern Canterbury, our team has collaborated on projects nationwide creating spaces that bring form, function and beauty to the everyday.


We believe that good design tells a story, and we can’t wait to learn more about you. Every project is unique and we are confident that together we can bring your vision to life.

After our initial consultation you will receive a design concept presentation full of inspired ideas, spatial concepts, products, textiles and materials that reflect your taste and aesthetic.

Our
Services

INTERIOR DESIGN

We are a full service Interior Design practice and can be involved from concept to completion. We love to work alongside developers, architects, builders and trades and can review floor, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, lighting and joinery plans to enhance the connection and use of interior spaces. We can design, specify, procure, project manage, deliver and install. Bringing a clients vision to life and creating spaces to experience all of life's moments is our mission.


STYLING

We can select all of the furniture, décor and soft furnishings needed in your home, incorporating any heirloom or sentimental pieces, to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Selling or buying?  We can maximise your home's potential, styling your existing furniture and decor to be 'Open Day Ready' as well as help you set up your spaces in your newly purchased home. 

Need a cherry on top?  We can help you organise your kitchen and wardrobe so you can thrive and have a home you may never want to leave!


HOME FURNISHINGS

From curtains, blinds, wallpaper, cushions and upholstery - we have the ability to source and manufacture your whole project in-house with our talented home furnishing team.  We can provide competitive curtain and blind packages as well as luxury soft furnishings.  We pride ourselves on working with local workrooms and managing the window furnishings process from quote to installation.


CUSTOM DESIGN

We have a wealth of contacts in the industry and are privileged to collaborate with a wonderful range of highly skilled manufacturers and artisans to create custom furniture and fitout.  We take pride in our custom design work and enjoy commissioning bespoke pieces to meet our clients needs.


EXTERIOR & INTERIOR SPECS

We can provide exterior and interior consultations, specifying materials and colours and providing a schedule for ordering. We will work with your preferred suppliers and ordering team to meet production timeframes.


SUSTAINABILITY

As the window furnishings industry develops sustainability practises into their production processes and recycled fabrics become mainstream, there are options to select recycled yarn fabrics and linings as well as environmentally friendly wallpaper products.

Talk to us if you would like to utilise environmentally friendly and sustainable choices - we would love to be part of your eco-journey.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We know there can be a lot of questions and concerns when starting a new project, so we've answered some commonly asked questions below. If you are still feeling unsure, please do not hesitate to reach out to us so we can assist you on your journey!

    • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO USE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

      Our fees are dependent on the size and scope of each project.  After our initial design consultation, we either charge per hour that we work, or for larger projects we establish a full project cost . 

      We communicate with you every step of the way to find the best solution for your needs and can often provide designer discounts with our extensive partnerships in the industry.

    • DO I NEED INTERIOR STYLING OR INTERIOR DESIGN?

      Interior styling is for those spaces that need a little extra TLC!  We source, specify and style curated feature pieces (eg. furniture, curtains, artwork) and add splashes of your uniqueness throughout to complete your rooms.


      Interior design is for those projects that need a head-to-toe makeover or are a fresh new beginning! We’re involved from concept to completion to bring your vision to life.

    • WHEN SHOULD I GET AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

      You can use our expertise at any point though we generally say the sooner the better! We love jumping onboard with our clients from the very beginning, to help spatially plan their home, liaising with the contracting team, right through to the finishing touches like sourcing furnishings and styling. 

    • WILL YOU WORK WITH MY CONTRACTOR & SUBCONTRACTORS?

      We are happy to work with your contractors and subcontractors. We will do our part to provide detailed information and communicate with them at every stage of the process.


      Because we have your best interests at heart, we can also assist you with onboarding contractors if you don't already have ones you trust! This means that we will refer some of the contractors that we have vetted and have long standing business relationships with, or help you identify and interview new contractors. 


      Our goal is to make the process of working with a contractor easy and stress-free.

    • WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS DO WE WORK ON?

      From large scale new builds and renovation projects where we become just one key part of your amazing contracting team; assisting with everything from layout, kitchen, bathroom, cabinetry design, all finishes, fittings and furnishings, through to helping rejuvenate a few key areas in your home that may be needing a little extra love. More often than not, the scale of our projects falls somewhere in between and we love to be there for it all!

    Let’s talk about your project

    We believe that good design tells a story, and we can’t wait to learn more about yours. Each project is unique, and we’re confident that together we can bring your vision to life.
