Lahood Window Furnishings make the apartment interior design process a breeze, with strong links with many developers and body corporates in the Auckland market.
While apartments are an increasingly popular choice for many people, high-density living is radically different to a leafy suburban lifestyle.
For apartment owners who move into new developments, there are the challenges of interior design to work through. With smaller spaces and body corporates wanting to maintain consistencies in décor and materials for flooring, wall coverings and window furnishings, the use of an interior design consultant makes the job so much easier.
At Lahood, they specialise in providing that important link between the architect or developer and the purchaser. Lahood’s Interior Design Consultant Tricia Dunlop says “We provide a complete service to guide owners through the whole process. They come in with their dreams, and we make it as easy as possible to help their imaginations become a reality.”
Because Lahood have preferred provider status with many of the developments, they are fully aware of the design guidelines that need to be adhered to. Tricia carries swatches and samples of all the flooring and wall covering options for each development. New owners can compare those with the substantial range of fabrics and blinds in Lahood’s showroom and build a design plan that suits the décor and the client’s budget.
“Because we have the product knowledge and we stock the full range of product options, we can put all the combinations together for the right style and design. It is very satisfying to see a whole project through from start to finish, we handle everything right though to installation,” says Tricia. “We often get involved in soft furnishings and accessories to match, not just the window treatments. We can restyle existing furniture with new upholstery to suit, we carry a wide range of cushions and throws; that is all part of the service to make the apartment a real home.”
Apartment living can be very different to a home is the suburbs. Often with large window areas, apartments can be very bright and hot in summer. Privacy is also an issue, as is noise from busy street activities and traffic. It’s important to plan how these factors can be minimised by using the right fabrics and layering. Lahood has a wide range of coloured linings to match all interior fabric colours and designs. Using heavier fabrics will also help to limit sound transmission through windows.
With modern styling in new apartments, automating window furnishings is very popular. Nearly all blinds and curtains today can be fitted with fully automated systems. And owners can manage all rooms via mobile device apps. So, when not at home, window furnishings can be programmed to open and close together, separately, or be adjusted at any time if the weather decides to surprise you with unexpected heat or cold.
Whether you have a newly purchased apartment, or just want to give your existing windows a modern makeover, you should talk to Tricia at Lahood. She will make your project a pleasant and rewarding experience and show you why Lahood Window Furnishings is the most complete and trusted service in Auckland.
