In Use

Not one part of this family home in Auckland’s Greenlane remained in its original state, after a serious makeover by designer Jackie Jones.

The brief was a total update to a 1930’s/40’s state house - new everything, even down to the plates and coffee mugs!

Kitchen and bathrooms were updated, including changes to spaces and layout.  All areas painted, re-carpeted, with new window treatments and furniture.

Natural fibres and pale timbers are complemented with pattern and texture which was key to the design scheme while still maintaining the client’s wish for an overall monochromatic look.

Even before it was a global trend, interior designer Michael Tavano believed that interior aesthetics should extend to the exterior and he’s a huge fan of using outdoor fabrics to achieve it.  Michael designs outdoor spaces that evoke a luxurious and comforting ambiance, encouraging people to gather, dine and relax outside.
