I’m restoring the living room of my 1915 New Zealand Arts and Crafts–era home and need a designer who can honour its original character while making the space feel welcoming and functional for modern life. The brief is firmly rooted in traditional Arts and Crafts sensibilities—think honest craftsmanship, warm timber detailing, lead-light inspiration and built-in furniture that looks like it has always been there. Scope • Review photos, basic measurements and a short video walkthrough that I’ll supply. • Propose a cohesive colour palette, wall/ceiling treatments, lighting plan and layout that respects the period detailing already on site. • Specify furniture, fabrics and decorative objects in keeping with early-20th-century Arts and Crafts style; locally available pieces or custom joinery in quality wood are ideal. • Include elevations or 3-D visuals so I can clearly see proportions and detailing before committing to trades. Acceptance Criteria 1. Final package includes mood board, scaled floor plan, annotated elevations/3-D renders, and a sourcing list with links or supplier details. 2. All selections clearly reflect authentic Arts and Crafts aesthetics—no modern gloss finishes or synthetic laminates. 3. Wood is the primary visible material for any new built-ins or trims, matching existing native timbers where possible. If you have a portfolio that shows sensitive work with heritage or period houses, especially Arts and Crafts, I’d love to see it. Let’s bring this century-old living room back to life without losing its soul.
