Chambers Design have a long and illustrious history with creating beautiful homes in South Canterbury, The Mackenzie country and now parts of North Otago, Wanaka and Queenstown,


Chambers Design has time over time proven themselves to be one of the most reliable interior designers. Not only are they an integral part for many new builds and house renovations, but they also have a long list of corporate refurbishments that have trusted their judgement and expertise in creating beautiful functional spaces for businesses including accommodation providers.


As our clients feel comfortable and relaxed when we are out on appointments for new curtains, the conversation often evolves into “how can I improve this room” or “How can I make my bedding look beautiful?” and why would’nt people ask? We are after all Interior Designers!!


With this wealth of experience in Interior Design, a dedicated showroom adorned with beautiful things was the logical step to take. We are now able to take beautiful cushions (or cushions) our clients saw in our showroom and bring the items they love out with us and help them to style a room! Our customers love this service so much that we now offer home styling services.


So, what does a home stylist do?


We  will help you make more ‘soft’ interior choices. These include Cushions, Floor rugs and throws for lounges and relaxing spaces. We can also choose, match and style your bedding, giving you that luxe feeling in your bedroom.


Along with updating an existing space, if you are lost over decisions like what colours to choose, what size rugs or art to buy or aren’t sure which decor items to purchase and where to place them, then you need the services of an  interior stylist.


The beauty of hiring one of our team to style your room or rooms, is that we have a bounty of choices through our showroom including Wall Art, Furniture, Lighting the list goes on. Jump across to our website to discover the goodies available. 


A great thing to keep in mind when talking with one of our stylists, is that we are not limited to the items in our shop. Should you require something quite unique or have a certain size cushion made we have the capability of sourcing it for you from our suppliers, or even have your cushions custom make through our onsite sewing department - The Sewing Chamber


What is Home Decor? 

Home Decor is short for Home Decoration. Home decor is the art of making your home look nice.

It refers to the aesthetic components used to make a home more attractive and visually appealing. Home decor is inclusive of physical items and objects (furniture, art, and accessories), placement of physical items and objects, and room colours and materials (flooring, wall coverings, window coverings, and ceilings).

There are numerous styles and themes of home decor including:

  • Industrial chic
  • Scandi
  • Classical
  • Rustic
  • French Country
  • Minimalist

The options of colours, styles of furniture, and arrangement of objects in a room are limitless.

Furniture and wall decorations are only the beginning when it comes to home décor. There are many other home accessories and decorations that can beautify your home!

Window dressings: Your curtains, blinds, and other window dressings can be influential in creating your home’s aesthetic ambiance.

Not only their appearance but how they filter the light into your home as well as keeping your home warm is important too!

House plants: 

Whether real or artificial, plants can create a certain mood that enhances your home’s appearance. Indoor plants have definitely made a resurgence in the past couple of years. For many of us keeping a house plant healthy is another story. Artificial plants is the answer! They have come a long way since the plastic fruit in a bowl. Shop our range of plants here.

Three-dimensional artworks: While wall-hangings, paintings, and photos are some of the most common ways to create atmosphere and add a personal touch. Sculptures and collectibles are another way to decorate.

Why buy art?

Art has the power to uplift moods, reflect your personality or change the spirit of a room. There are a multitude of ways in which art can transform a home. From illustrative art prints to digital art, contemporary sculpture to screen-prints, art can complement and accentuate the existing interior aesthetic of any home.


Art has become accessible to everyone. You may not be in a position to invest in a Rembrandt or Rita Angus, however there are so many prints now that you can actually match the artwork to the room rather than the other way around. 

We just adore art. So much so that we have a collection of prints that will delight you. To see our range of stunning prints simply click on the link.

Be inspired

Decorating your home doesn't have to be hard. Sometimes we over-think it and get ourselves in a right muddle. For other people, their brains are not set up like that - Just like mine isn't setup to be a neuro surgeon!

Look around for inspiration - maybe at a friend or families place. Or perhaps you have found a style on Pinterest that you love. Make a note of it and follow those pins. You may not act on it, but it is a very handy resource - Just like “The Home and Garden” magazines. 

Above all else we are here to help! Need assistance implementing your dream bedroom or revitalising the living room, just give us a call here at Chambers Design.
