Meet Shanly Simpson, a Kiwi through and through who's taken the world of interior design by storm with her unique flair and down-to-earth approach. Imagine someone who's not just designing spaces but crafting stories, where every room whispers tales of its homeowners.
Her journey in the design world took a significant turn when she worked with the legendary Faye Resnick. Picture this: over a decade side by side with one of the industry's best on projects for celebrities like the Hilton sisters and iconic places such as Caesars Palace and Fendi Showroom.
It's not just about the glitz and glamour for Shanly, though. This experience was her crucible, shaping her into the designer she is today. She can transform any space, whether a cosy home make-over, renovation or a brand-new build.
After spreading her wings abroad for 27 years, Shanly felt the call of home and returned to New Zealand in 2012, bringing with her a vision to make interior design accessible to everyone. She believes that beauty isn't a luxury but a necessity. Her design philosophy? A space should reflect the person living in it, echoing their personality and lifestyle. This belief and her practical and straightforward style enable her to create beautiful, truly meaningful and functional spaces for her clients.
Shanly's design aesthetic can be described as minimalist but with a punch. She has a knack for blending bold pieces with soft, natural hues, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. Her spaces are visually appealing and designed with real life in mind—comfortable, stylish, and always child-friendly.
What truly sets Shanly apart is her ability to listen—really listen—to her clients, understand their needs and dreams, and then turn those into reality, all within a realistic budget. It's no wonder her clients keep coming back.
Her passion for creating spaces that tell a story, her commitment to making high-end design accessible, and her unwavering dedication to her clients' needs have cemented Shanly Simpson's reputation as one of New Zealand's most sought-after interior designers.
