I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalija who truly transformed my space from one bathroom to two.
From the very beginning, she encouraged me to think outside of my comfort zone, helping me explore new ideas and designs that I wouldn't have considered on my own. The result is two bathrooms that not only meet my needs but exceed my expectations.

Her expertise and creativity were evident in every aspect of the project, and I am thrilled with the final outcome.

One of the things I appreciate about Natalija is her attention to detail. She incorporated small touches that I never would have thought of, which have made a significant difference both in the functionality and aesthetics of the space.

Natalija has designed three great new bathrooms for our home in Auckland.  The work was completed in June 2024, and we are very happy with the results!  

We are both very involved in work, and not much interested in bathrooms or renovations in general. But the need for bathroom renovations at least became so dire it was becoming mildly embarrassing. We asked Natalija for help, with the request that she didn’t give us more than 2-3 choices on anything and didn’t ask us to spend a lot of time looking at products. We wanted three mid-range bathrooms that other people would generally like if they were considering buying our house sometime in the future. Natalija did a great job of achieving this, while advising us on the process and recommending a Project Manager. 

Natalija and her recommended Project Manager also helped us with other non-bathroom renovation work that needed to be done.  All work was done in a timely manner, came right on budget, and with a minimum of inconvenience to us.  We now have a house that is a whole lot nicer and is fully compliant.  It is fair to say that without Natalija’s help it is likely that we would still be kicking the can down the road!

We found Brittany a dream to work with. From the outset, we explained to Brittany that we don't have an eye for design and can be quite indecisive. She took this on board and managed to strike a good balance between giving us options and not making the whole selection process an arduous task.

Brittany has an eye for great detail and this was reflected in the plans she provided. We had a good idea of what fittings we liked, but we really had no idea with tiles, colours, and lighting. As an example, Brittany brought over different tile samples for us to look at, and did a great job helping us choose tiles to go with the look we wanted.

The end result - we couldn't ask for a more beautiful bathroom with great functionality. It certainly gives our house that wow factor!

Design Haus and the Project Manager that they recommend, Andy, both came recommended for our ensuite bathroom. 

Brittany was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.  Very thorough, professional and listened to our needs.
Andy gave us a schedule of dates and all tradesmen turned up on the assigned dates and did an excellent job. 

We would highly recommend Brittany, Andy and the team!

Friends of ours who have had a two bathrooms designed by Design Haus recommended Natalija to us when we began to plan renovating our existing family bathroom and large ensuite, in our 1963 home where we have lived for 22 years.

The bathrooms were in extremely poor condition (leaking and mouldy) and I felt embarrassed showing them to a bathroom designer, but we needn't have worried. Natalija effortlessly combines a natural warmth and friendliness with an intelligent expert professionalism. Our initial impression was of someone completely trustworthy in all senses of the word and because of this we left the entire project in her highly capable hands.

From the minute we engaged Natalija, she responded with diligent care and attention.

She is an extraordinarily skilled and experienced designer and every aspect of the service which Natalija provided, down to the smallest details, is of the highest quality.

Natalija's business is well established and her team of tradespeople know and respect her. If we had any issues our first port of call was Natalija and she liaised with her Project Manager to ensure that services were carried out promptly and to a high standard.

We are delighted with the results and would be happy to answer any questions from prospective clients. Natalija can provide our contact information.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Brittany as our designer, particularly with her calm professional manner. There were changes and complications around lockdowns, but she managed all of these and always kept us informed. When it came to the actual design, I felt that she heard me, and didn't overwhelm me with choices.

We are absolutely thrilled with the finished bathroom and everyone who has seen it admires it. As we ponder the finished product, we are particularly pleased with the many suggestions Brittany made about the small extras which we didn't even think to consider. Brittany has brought us and our bathroom into the 2020's and we would and already have recommended her to others!

Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager and his team of trades worked in our home for three months due to lockdowns. They did an amazing and high quality job. Work was completed in a timely and organised fashion, despite lockdowns and product shortages. The standard of the work is amazing, particularly in the care that was taken in the first few days of building, which set up the whole project.

Andy was excellent with communication and kept us fully in the loop. His team of tradesmen were all reliable, friendly and pleasant to have in the house, and they all cleaned up after themselves. They were all very good about checking minor changes with me, before any changes were made.

The finished product in both bathroom and laundry is outstanding, looks amazing and everything works beautifully.

We have been absolutely delighted with our bathroom renovation and would recommend Brittany without hesitation. 

Her design skills, expertise, great eye and client service made the entire process a pleasure.  Her ability to reimagine our space and respect our mid-century home in the process has transformed our bathroom from a tired, poky, difficult area to one which is usable, practical, spacious and gorgeous.  Her bathroom-specific know-how meant she knew exactly what would work best, while her excellent communication skills made us feel a real part of the process.  She is organised and efficient – everything ran incredibly smoothly, on time and on budget.

On Brittany's recommendation, we also engaged in Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager.  We recommend Andy and his team of trades unreservedly.  The work was top quality, and Andy was always available, patient and client-focused.  Andy's team also runs one of the tidiest worksites we have ever seen – cleaning up each evening and really respecting the fact they are doing building work in and around their clients' space and family. 

Highly recommended.

Wow, what a God send Natalija proved to be!  After 18 months of debate and seemingly 100's of trips to showrooms to find the right layout for our bathroom, my wife and I engaged a design consultant.  Our bathroom dimensions are not generous and we wanted to include a walk-in shower, a freestanding bath and a good sized vanity in our main bathroom, however we didn't want a sense of congestion. My wife and I had been procrastinating on this project for a long time due to our inability to visualize the right layout or products to achieve the best potential for the room.

Given we had worked on designing the bathroom for a long time and had a fair idea of what we wanted, therefore we didn't need the expense of a specialist design and build, nor did we need the working drawings, so we were pleased that Natalija was flexible enough to cater her service to our requirements, with a one-off in home Ideas Consultation.

Natalija was very prompt with her communication and had a couple of workable concept plans drafted in a matter of days.  The on-site meeting to "sensibility check" the concepts and discuss the options for products and specs took a couple of hours and we were able to confirm remaining details over the course of a few emails.  Needless to say we found the whole experience with Natalija flawless from the first phone call and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for big or small input to their project. In fact, we have already spread the word within our community of family and friends, and reached out to Design Haus a second time, where Brittany has successfuy helped us design the bathrooms in our commercail building.

Thanks Natalija and Brittany, I'm sleeping much easier since your time with us.

In looking to remodel our bathroom we didn’t know where to start. Brittany was able to listen to our core needs and shape these into some plausible design options that didn’t overwhelm us with decision making. Brittany really took all of the stress out of planning and preparing for the renovation, saving us time and leaving us with a result that met our needs entirely.

Where any questions or issues arose during construction we have been safeguarded with itemised product lists, layout and electrical plans. We would recommend Brittany’s design services without hesitation.

We embarked on the journey of a new bathroom, and what a journey it was.

We met Natalija and we knew we were on the right track. Nothing was too hard and Natalija always went the extra mile for us. We had already picked our tiles and had a good idea of what we wanted. Natalija was left to realise the rest of the bathroom. Acting as designer extraordinaire, Natalija maximised the space, advised us on fittings and created our dream bathroom, not once, but twice.

Every morning and evening I feel like I am on holiday thanks to Natalija, her design skills and the great relationship we developed with her.

I'm so happy with my new bathroom. It was a tricky, partial renovation with only vague notions on my part as to what could be achieved. Brittany worked closely with her recommended Bathroom Project Manager and together they came up with practical solutions that would fulfil my wish to retain some fixtures in a workable modern design.

Throughout the design process, Brittany provided various options for the colour scheme and products. She brought samples, created plans and visual impressions, directed me to showrooms to see her recommendations, and responded to my feedback and preferences.

Personal circumstances meant that the project was put on hold for 16 months. Brittany went out of her way to revisit and finalise the plans, again liaising with the Project Manager and attending to every detail.

I experienced minimal disruption during the renovation and was pleased with the timely communications and excellent workmanship.

I'm thankful to Brittany for her collaborative approach and her generosity in bringing a long delayed project to completion. She has a great sense of colour and space, and has created a beautiful bathroom, the old integrated with the new in a harmonious design.

Natalija worked with me for the recent upgrade of our two bathrooms.

Right from the start of the project Natalija worked efficiently and proactively. Natalija has sound design skills and ability to understand a situation from a customer’s prospective identifying the optimum solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Natalija was able to establish effective working relationships with myself and my husband while communicating with the project stakeholders. She insured that all our needs were taken into account and incorporated into the proposed solution. We could not have been happier with the end result.

I would not hesitate in providing Natalija a recommendation, attesting to her excellent design and management skills.

My bathroom renovation was a complex challenge: a universe of ideas for two small specific spaces that needed to sit naturally in a house that was neither historic nor contemporary.

I am so lucky to have had Brittany leading the team to take on this challenge.

From the outset I knew that she understood the house, the spaces and the vague, lofty brief that she was given.

As the designer, she found me somewhere to start and patiently led me through each of the wild variations I came up with: how it would look, what products I could use, what the advantages and disadvantages were and what the costings would be. Every idea was considered seriously, no idea discarded as undoable.

As the plan took shape, I was completely confident that we shared the same vision. Brittany turned ideas into practical options, consulted with the Project Manager at each step to ensure that everything was achievable and would find alternative solutions if need be. She also constantly thought outside the box to source products and materials that were innovative and perfect.

Brittany has creative vision, extraordinary attention to detail and an ability to think laterally. She is utterly reliable, unfailingly polite and has excellent technical design skills.

What I most appreciated about Brittany was her approach towards me as her client. I always felt this was a collaboration that was as important to her as it was to me. Her enthusiasm for the project and constant encouragement to pursue my vision through to the end has resulted in beautiful, serene and timeless spaces. Mission accomplished.

It is with the greatest pleasure that I write this testimonial for Natalija.

We now have the most luxurious bathroom, beautifully fitted and in a gorgeous colour scheme that we have carried throughout the house.

At our first meeting, Natalija was so knowledgeable and confident that we were in no doubt in the right hands. Our bathroom was a challenge to say the least, so we needed someone with experience to create a design that would not only give us a functional space, but would also be stylish, modern and stunning. Natalija delivered on all the above. Everything was taken into account and Natalija’s brief to create light and storage space was surpassed in every way.

Natalija’s communication and advice were so fantastic, that my husband and I felt in safe hands throughout the whole process. Natalija always returned our calls instantly and e-mails as we often had questions and needed advice.

Our bathroom now looks like a show home bathroom – something I never thought possible. We constantly receive compliments from friends who cannot believe they are seeing the same room.

I highly recommend Natalija for any design project. Her professionalism, gentle manner, outstanding design and colour planning will make everything so much easier for you. If we have any other home renovations, Natalija is the first person we will call.

We are delighted with our new bathroom, which reflects exactly what we wanted.

Brittany was fantastic to work with! She was very responsive throughout the process, and very organised and clear so we knew exactly what we were getting at each stage, and when to expect it. 

We had quite specific needs as the bathroom is a family bathroom for young children, so practicality was important. Brittany worked with us to design something that was still beautiful as well as meeting all our practical needs.  We engaged her for both the design drawings and product advice, and she was generous with her time on both, and was really helpful in guiding and advising us through the minefield of choices on fittings and brands.

Brittany’s bathroom plans were invaluable, and it meant our Project Manager and tradesmen had something very clear to work with, leaving no hidden surprises or unexpected results. We worked with Design Haus' recomended Project Manager, and found him great to work with. Our bathroom was completed to a very high standard with real care and attention to detail, and we couldn’t be happier.

Having never used a designer for a renovation, we are extremely pleased that you were recommended to us for our bathroom project.  As such, we'd like to write a recommendation that you can share with future clients.

We loved the design you gave us, but even better, you helped us short circuit the whole process by making recommendations on everything, from tiles, tapware, air extraction, etc.  We are both very busy and you made it all easy for us.  Your insights and experience helped us make better decisions and gave our builder really clear direction.

We couldn't be happier with the results and would be happy to recommend you Brittany and the Design Haus team.

Lynette and Simon Gordon

..................................................................

Natalija came highly recommended to us when we started our bathroom renovations, by the end we could see why. 

The previous central bathroom and ensuite where old, tired and just plain worn out so we had the opportunity to completely renovate each one, optimise the space and reinvent them.  Throughout the design process Natalija carefully listened, gave us an understanding of all the key elements to consider and understood our needs.  She presented design ideas and concepts that were in keeping with the home (a 1900’s villa) but still gave a modern quality finish that we wanted. 

Natalijas detailed plans and guidance on sourcing the materials were invaluable.  It was such a pleasure working together and the result has been stunning. We can’t thank Natalija enough for making the design part feel almost effortless and she brings it all together very quickly. 

Clearly Natalija’s experience and extensive knowledge on what is trending and how that can be worked in an older home shone through, giving us complete confidence that the result would more than exceed our expectations.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalija to anyone considering a bathroom renovation and look forward to working with her in the future for new projects.

I found Design Haus on an internet search and what a score it was. The experience of working with Brittany, and on recommendation Andy as Project Manager, proved to be an outstanding success.

Brittany listened to our hopes and desires as well as budget and we are absolutely delighted with the result. We're loving the renovations and get such wonderful comments from friends and family.

Everyone I met as I went to view product suggestions spoke so highly of Brittany, her helpful and kind attitude, as well as her  fabulous design work.

I have no hesitation in recommending both Brittany and Andy and look forward to working with them both in the future.

Design Haus came to us recommended, as did Design Haus' recommended Project Manager Andy and his team. 

We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! She carefully listened to our requirements and was able to guide us through the decisioning process, with a perfect balance of letting us make our own decisions, whilst drawing on her experience and taste as appropriate.  Brittany showed great flexibility in recognition that should our preferred concept not be possible when construction started (which it wasn't), Andy and Brittany would be able to quickly reorientate the design and approach without any loss of time - which they did. 

Andy and his team delivered to schedule, and effectively managed the concerns of our neighbours around interruption and noise etc.  The final bathroom has exceeded our expectations in terms of looks, functionality and quality!  Excellent service and very good value for money. Most highly recommended.

I am the Co-Director of a Building Company which has been involved in the building industry for 20 years. We have designed and built a number of houses for spec, for clients and for ourselves. My role is to design every component of the house from the beginning i.e. draw plans to scale, then manage the project, both exterior and interior, through to final completion. Every home we have built has sold quickly which has given me confidence in my design skills.

We were in the process of building another home and I was in Auckland searching for a supplier of tiles. In her friendly unassuming way, Natalija approached me asking if I needed help. I am ashamed to admit that I wondered what on earth someone so young and inexperienced (I incorrectly assumed) could possibly offer an “old hand” like me.

Thinking to myself that I didn’t really need any help other than colour schemes I slowly divulged a little more information. Her understanding of what I was trying to achieve was immediate. With ease she came up with ideas, making practical but creative suggestions regarding the basic design of the rooms.

I was so impressed with her ideas that I eventually left Natalija with the working drawings and headed home. Over the next few weeks we emailed back and forth, all the while she kept asking all the questions until she completely understood how the home was to function practically with 3 teenagers, yet be stylish and up-market. We weren’t trying to recreate or follow any trend and as difficult as I found this to communicate, Natalija imagined the project better than I could.

I was extremely impressed with the final designs. As we implemented her designs into the house I can say without doubt that they exceeded my expectations in every way.

I have designed many houses on my own and been satisfied with the results. Having this one experience with Natalija as a designer has changed my mind completely. With my designs I was satisfied. With Natalija’s designs I was elated. With any future projects I will involve Natalija from the very beginning. I may be twice her age and have many more years industry experience, but in terms of design she is absolutely light years ahead.

She is a true professional. She believes in meticulous planning and pays much attention to detail. She possess’ exceptional communication skills and is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

When my husband and I decided it was time to renovate our two bathrooms at the end of 2019 we were extremely reluctant to employ a designer. Our project manager convinced us to meet with Brittany Hunt at Design Haus.

Her positive gentle approach, her impeccable manners, her sound professional guidance, her overall enthusiasm for the project and her in-depth knowledge of all things 'bathroom' based on her many years of experience won us over!

Brittany approaches a project with exactly the right balance of advice and respect. She was never pushy and always listened to our ideas. She encouraged and applauded some changes of direction, and embraced our tastes. She steered us away from potential mistakes, all the while encouraging us in our own choices. Her eye for detail was reflected in the impeccable plans she delivered. Her many ideas and her subtle touch were never put ahead of our vision.

In short it was a delight to work with Brittany and Design Haus. Our bathrooms were completed just after the Covid-19 lock-down and they look stunning - a tribute to Brittany, as well as the renovation team.

..................................................................

As part of a large renovation of our 1910 villa I opted to use the specific skills of a bathroom designer to help with the project. Brittany Hunt from Design Haus has been part of the project from the outset.

I first met Brittany after I made a cold call to her regarding a bathroom renovation for our previous home. I was impressed with her knowledge, passion and friendly  professionalism.  We had concept drawings done, then everything was shelved as we sold the house and moved on to a much bigger project. I did not hesitate to use Brittany again - this time to design 3 bathrooms, a powder room and a laundry as part of the renovation of our new 1910 villa.

Brittany was very thorough in the brief, promptly produced concept drawings and then followed on with detailed drawings and elevations, including lighting and wiring. Choosing the right fittings and fixtures, tiles and paint colours is an overwhelming and stressful process. Brittany narrowed down the options and made helpful suggestions based on her broad knowledge of what is available. She was prompt to reply to queries and even let me know when the bathroom suppliers had sales on.

Brittany definitely went above and beyond what I expected from a designer.

When we were out selecting tiles and bathroom fittings I was impressed to hear the positive comments from suppliers about Brittany “she is wonderful" and "you are lucky to have chosen her, she is a great designer” were a common theme.

Our bathrooms, powder room and laundry are now complete and we are thrilled. I have no hesitation in recommending Brittany Hunt from Design Haus. No matter what size your project is, definitely get in touch with Brittany , you will not be disappointed.

I initially worked with Natalija on my first bathroom and returned to Design Haus a few years later for my second bathroom. Working with Brittany for my second bathroom has been as wonderful as the first time with Natalija. They are both incredibly professional and knowledgeable in what they do and take all of the stress out of the design process.

With my most recent bathroom, I was carefully listened to at the initial consultation. Brittany then gave me several amazing design options for what was essentially a difficult space. Brittany’s suggestions, and advice were spot on, and I really appreciated the attention she gave to even the smallest details. Brittany has a lovely and bubbly personality, and I felt very comfortable working with her and discussing anything I needed to.

I used Design Haus’s recommended Project Manager for both of my bathrooms and the overall experience, attention to detail and service for both bathrooms was great!

Both my bathrooms look amazing and I am extremely happy with the end result. I whole heartedly recommend Design Haus.

The whole process of designing our bathroom was made easy, as Brittany was very thorough and really listened to what we wanted. Brittany came up with a range of design layouts including some we hadn’t considered. In the end we went with a design we hadn’t considered and we couldn’t be happier.

The bathroom is fabulous and better than we had anticipated.

Brittany was very prompt at responding to any queries we had and she was a delight to work with. We highly recommend Design Haus and we look forward to using their services again for our other bathroom.

We wanted to do our ensuite & main bathroom and were not sure where to start. We had put this project off for a couple of years.  I finally searched the Internet and found Design Haus, where we made an appointment to meet Brittany.  We were initially going to go with basic concepts, but once we met Brittany we felt so comfortable and relaxed, we knew we were in the right hands.  

Brittany listened to our brief and came back with some great designs and suggestions of products and fixtures to use.  It saved us so much time in not having to go through the hundreds of different bathroom brochures and to all the different suppliers.  We soon were able to work out what products we wanted and go directly to the shops to look at each item.   

We have been so impressed with Brittany's professionalism and knowledge she gave us throughout the project.  We always felt we were her top priority, which I am sure she does with all of her clients.  Nothing was ever a problem for Brittany.

After our designs were complete, Design Haus referred us to their recommended Project manager to implement the project. He has a great team of contractors who were all extremely good and professional.  They have done a fantastic job of implementing the work.

One highlight that we must mention is Brittany's suggestion for feature lighting, something we could not imagine but we went ahead as we trusted Brittany's judgement.  This lighting has taken our bathrooms into another league!  We now have 2 beautiful bathrooms which we are completely over the moon with.  We definitely all got it right. 

We have no hesitations at all to recommend Brittany and Natalija – what a team!

Design Haus were recommended to us. They are excellent designers to work with and Brittany Hunt was able to guide us and show us how we could best use the small space we had for our bathroom. Brittany came up with a range of options and was extremely capable and flexible to our needs. Design delivery was prompt, comprehensive and Design Haus went the extra mile to ensure we were happy.

Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager was excellent. He and his team completed work quickly and let us know if there was going to be any delays. He personally checked the work done by his team of tradesmen and went over and above to ensure that everything was done to a very high standard, including checking the windows in the other rooms that were all installed together by his team.

We are thoroughly pleased with both Design Haus and their recommended Project Manager’s work and we hope they will be available for more work that we have planned in the future.

Brittany was a pleasure to work with for our family bathroom renovation. Throughout the entire process her professionalism and knowledge was invaluable. She went above and beyond to answer any questions that we had even after her design was complete and the build had begun. Design Haus' recommended Project Manager was also fantastic to work with throughout the build, which made the whole bathroom renovation seamless and we couldn’t be happier with the final result!

Overall, we could not be more pleased with Brittany’s performance and we would not hesitate to recommend Brittany and Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager! We will use their services again in the future.

Having never renovated major areas in a home, I was very worried about renovating my bathroom and ensuite.  A good friend of mine recommended Design Haus to me, and wow I could not have received better assistance!  Brittany listened to all my needs and requirements, and provided me with great ideas of what would work and what would not.  Brittany is an excellent communicator and provided plans that were very clear and easy to follow.

It was extra helpful that Design Haus recommended a Bathroom Project Manager - this took away all of the stress associated with the renovation.  The Project Manager provided a schedule of what would be happening and when.  I would definitely recommend Brittany and Design Haus’ recommended Bathroom Project Manager - it was a pleasure working with them both.  I love my new bathrooms!

Our bathroom is now complete and we are very pleased indeed with the end result.

The service that we received from Design Haus can only be described as utterly outstanding.  

From the first time we met Brittany in our home we knew we could work with her on this project, as we immediately felt very relaxed with her and with her approach to gathering our brief and asking the right questions.  Brittany then produced a set of design options which really helped crystallise all issues for us. This made our ultimate choices so much easier to make.  She guided us in this process with very sensible suggestions and comments about what would be expensive to do and what would not.  She involved us every step of the way and at no time did we ever feel pressured by her.  Brittany is a total professional!

Brittany’s detailed plans for the Project Manager were the foundation of a very successful and smooth running project.

Once the renovation started it became clear that our original desire to retain our wooden floor in the bathroom was not going to be possible, meaning we then had to choose appropriate floor tiles.  We referred back to Brittany for help, who was immediately forthcoming and recommendations made to us - all just part of Brittany's original service, which was very much appreciated.

The service we received from Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager and his very able team of contractors was extremely good.  Even with the additional work relating to getting the floor level for tiling flowed smoothly. The recommended Project Manager has a high personal drive to make sure his clients are going to be very happy with the end result.  All the contractors he uses have a similar high personal drive to do a great job, without exception.

So it’s a really big thank you to Design Haus for designing our bathroom and facilitating such a successful outcome for us.

I employed the services of Design Haus to help me renovate our ensuite in our home.

Natalija was very responsive and came up with some great solutions for a space that had limitations. She also recommended a range of products which were contemporary, but also suited our Villa. Natalija worked within the budget and her manner and communication were very professional.

I would certainly recommend Natalija to anyone looking to design or renovate a bathroom.

Our experience with Design Haus was nothing short of excellent.

Brittany was attentive from start to finish. She listened attentively to our thoughts on what we wanted and reflected them back accurately in her designs. We made a number of changes as the final design came together and Brittany was always quick to respond. She helped us arrive at colour and tile choices and likewise with all the bathroom fixtures.

Finally, Brittany referred us to Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager and his team of tradesmen, who have turned out to be an excellent choice.

Overall, we could not be more pleased with Brittany’s performance and would not hesitate to recommend Brittany and Design Haus’ recommended Project Manager.

From the very beginning when we met Brittany we knew we were in good hands! With her warm, outgoing and professional nature, Brittany was taking in all our wishes and requests. If we where unsure about something Brittany asked the right questions and provided professional feedback and further information for us to make up our minds. With her ability to translate customer needs into actions she came up with floor plan options as well as design options, which where spot on and as per our tastes.

Since this was our first bathroom project we had many questions and Brittany was always available for us and happy to answer every question. Brittany went over and above at stages and took her time to help us with critical decisions. Every little detail was discussed so we could be rest assured that we get the result we wished for.

We are very happy with the end result, as well as the whole process of working with Design Haus. We have an amazing new bathroom, which looks exceptional and is up to our high standards. If you want your bathroom to work and look great, but also have a smooth renovation process, then Brittany and Design Haus are the right partners to have on your side!

It was a pleasure to work with Natalija on our 2 bathroom renovations at our home in Kohimarama.  Jim and I are delighted with the finished product!

Your input in design, tiles, countertops and fittings accomplished everything we hoped for on our "check list".  Every detail was discussed and noted directly on the plan.  

Building while out of the country has its difficulties, but our project was made easier with your detailed plans and specifications. Natalija worked quickly to get our plans completed so we could begin construction in a timely manner and Natalija's recommended Project Manager did a great job.

Natalija you are a delightful person who is knowledgeable as well as helpful and tactful. You went out of your way to give Jim and I options that would please us both...a rare and exceptional capability.

Many thanks and best wishes for your continued success.

Brittany has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her design task was a real challenge; turning a relatively small bathroom space into a workable wet area space suitable for wheelchair access and to incorporate many other mobility needs. The ultimate goal was to have an accessible space which still included all the elements of design - to be light, with clean lines and having a warm feeling.

Brittany listened to every idea I had in mind and was an amazing help. Her attention to detail was brilliant. She kept me up to date with her plans and design details throughout the whole design process.  The builders and cabinet makers even commented on the ease to follow Brittany's plans due to her attention to specific details.

Brittany collected samples of all right component options and ensured I was happy with everything on site. The floor tiles she sourced are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also non slip / amazingly safe and easy to clean - as per my brief.

Brittany kept in mind the whole apartment and brought in the American Oak features and clean  simple lines. Her contrasts in texture , line, shape, colour and lighting have given me a warm, elegant, easy to use and totally accessible bathroom.

Brittany was always accessible, and very prompt in her replies, even during an overseas trip she had planned well before the project was initiated. The whole process was just so easy!

Many thanks to you Brittany and Design Haus for giving me my fabulous bathroom space - I am absolutely thrilled with the end result!

We had the pleasure of having Brittany Hunt from Design Haus design our three bathrooms.

Right from the start Brittany listened to our requirements, giving professional guidance throughout the design and renovation process.

The end result has far exceeded our expectations and we are so happy with the transformation!

We highly recommend Brittany and Design Haus to anyone looking to update their bathrooms.

I initially worked with Natalija on my bathroom design, which required some “out of the box” thinking as it was a small apartment space and I absolutely wanted a clawfoot bath and a separate shower. Natalija made it all happen for me and nothing was a problem – the end result was beautiful and I couldn’t have been happier. Everything on my wish list came true, and working full time in a busy role, Natalija took all of the headaches out of it for me.

Natalija’s communication and customer service is A+! I could contact her anytime, and she was always back to me so quickly with responses. She took a solutions approach to everything and I really value that.

 What I really like about Natalija is that she adapts her approach to fit the customer.  All in all – I couldn’t fault anything about Natalija and I am hoping to use her skills again with my next bathroom renovation projects coming up!

From start to finish our designer Brittany was amazing to work with!

Brittany listened to us, gave us fabulous design ideas and sent us to the right places to look at products. Her dedication was reflected in her detailed plans, including an electrical plan, product dimensions, tiling details and much more. Design Haus' preferred Project Manager and his team of tradesmen are detail orientated and were all delightful to have in our home.

We are delighted with our two new bathrooms and laundry. Thank you Brittany and team.

After carefully researching many Auckland-based bathroom designers and choosing Design Haus, my dream bathroom has become a reality.  Brittany understood the brief perfectly and brought to life the feel I was after in her considered and thoughtful design response.

From the initial brief through to the design and build phase, the process was practically stress free thanks to a well planned, thorough process and timeline using the recommended Design Haus project management and build team lead by the endlessly patient and unflappable Andy. What could have been a stressful and unpleasant few weeks ending up being a breeze.

The end result is an oasis of perfection and I am thrilled. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the Design Haus team to create your perfect bathroom space.

I can endorse the glowing testimonials from other Design Haus customers.

We were most impressed by Brittany and her thorough and professional approach to redesigning our bathroom.  Her advice was within budget and sympathetic to the integrity of our home.

Design Haus' recommended Project Manager and his team worked seamlessly and professionally within the time frame and we would recommend both parties without hesitation!

Natalija has a fantastic ability to really listen to her clients and come up with a design that delivers to what they want and need. She has a very strong attention to detail and ensures nothing is forgotten.

When we discovered some unforeseen electrical and plumbing challenges in our bathroom, Natalija quickly created a new design, which still delivered a great bathroom.  

We recommend Natalija to anyone designing a new bathroom!

Earlier this year we kicked off a full renovation and in doing so we realised our bathroom had a few challenges.

Luckily we came across Design Haus. Brittany our designer was invaluable in helping us plan our bathroom to ensure we get the most out of our space.

The process has been exceptional from the start, where Brittany tailored a design package to our needs and budget. After taking an extensive brief she quickly turned around concepts for us and from that we selected a design that best worked for us. A big weight off our shoulders after starting from the position of thinking nothing was going to work.

Soon after Brittany provided our concept plans, we realised that it would be a good idea to enlist her help again in the form of a detailed floor plan for our builder and other tradesmen to quote and work off. The plan shows exactly where everything goes, saving us time and reducing the stress around decision making with regards to exact placement of every item to ensure we end up with the most useable and aesthetically pleasing space.

Brittany takes the time to really understand your needs and provides amazing service in the form of really strong design advice as well as practical bathroom tips. I would strongly recommend investing in some form of design help from Brittany at the start of your bathroom process – for us it has paid off in terms of reducing costly mistakes, as well as reducing the stress at what can be quite a stressful time.

Design Haus recently helped us design our Family Bathroom.  From the beginning Brittany was very easy to work with, very friendly and pointed us in the right direction with all our design needs.

Brittany was always available to answer any questions that we had and she really has delivered our vision of our dream bathroom!

Thank you Brittany and your recommended Bathroom Project Manager and his team of tradesmen.

I have recently renovated my apartment including my ensuite and family bathroom.

Brittany Hunt from Design Haus helped me with the design of my bathrooms and I am delighted with the results.

Brittany spent time assisting me with decisions regarding the layout of each room, choice of materials and suggesting ideas to suit my lifestyle.

Her guidance in narrowing down products together in the comfort of my own home and then going to see the final recommended products and samples in person was very worthwhile - no surprises!

Brittany's work coordinating with Design Haus' recommended Bathroom Project Manager was particularly valued as the whole process was managed very smoothly.

I would certainly recommend Brittany and Design Haus when you are looking at renovating those important rooms in your home.

We are thrilled with our new Bathroom!

Natalija expertly guided us through the design process, giving us the freedom to include our own ideas in this small but important area. Natalija’s knowledge, patience and understanding were apparent from the onset and the result is fantastic.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Natalija and will certainly use her on our next renovation!

We are so thrilled with our new bathrooms!

Inserting contemporary bathrooms into confined heritage spaces was quite a challenge, but Design Haus succeeded admirably. They have achieved exactly what we had in mind.

Brittany your excellent detailed plans, research and specifications gave us wonderful designs with which to conceptualise the finished product. Your design fees were most definitely repaid by enabling builders to be faster and more accurate with their quotes and the build itself.  Your recommended Project Manager and his team of tradesmen were professional, reliable, trustworthy and their workmanship is outstanding. We would definitely use you both again.

Your on-going availability for consultations on a couple of the finer design details which arose was really appreciated and Brittany you really went the extra mile for us - thank you for everything!

We highly recommend Design Haus and have already started spreading the word.

If you are thinking of renovating we highly recommend the talent of Design Haus.

Brittany was so easy to deal with and was always listening to our needs and interpreting them into fantastic designs for both our bathroom and laundry.  

We are so thrilled with the final result that we have already referred Design Haus to family and they too have had their bathroom designed by Design Haus and installed by their recommended Project Manager and team of tradesmen.

Brittany Hunt from Design Haus designed our guest bathroom.

Brittany listened to what we wanted and encouraged us to discuss our ideas and concerns without feeling rushed. She was enthusiastic, had a great knowledge of appropriate products and worked with our budget. She also recommended Design Haus' preferred bathroom Project Manager who was very helpful and efficient.

Brittany was always prompt with responses and plans. Nothing seemed to be too much effort.

We would highly recommend Brittany as the whole project went smoothly due to her input.

Brittany, thank you for all the work you did in designing our two bathrooms.

With the first bathroom now complete we are very satisfied with the result and a large part of that credit goes to Brittany.

We appreciate your professional approach and found the design service to be great value for money, especially when considering the overall cost of a bathroom renovation project.

We would not hesitate to recommend Design Haus.

We were in need of a bathroom renovation for my Mum, who is now in care.

The new bathroom has been wonderful. It worked so well for Mum and still does on her frequent visits home.

As per the brief, the wonderful and clever thing is that even though it is suitable for someone in a wheelchair, it in no way feels anything but a beautiful bathroom. Everyone who has used the bathroom has been so impressed by the design, use of space and subtle use of colour.

Natalija your design, communication and organisational skills worked together to make the whole process of installing a new bathroom in an old house very easy and enjoyable. We wish you all the best Natalija.

It was a pleasure working with Natalija and Brittany on our 2 bathrooms. Natalija designed my first bathroom, and Brittany my 2nd bathroom a few years later.

They were both very personable and easy to get along with.  Nothing was too much trouble – even when we changed the overall design half way through the process and no question I had was too trivial.  

Both Natalija and Brittany have extensive knowledge of design, products, and they both made many helpful suggestions.  

I would happily work with Natalija and Brittany again!

Design Haus has been a great help!  

Brittany has been amazingly helpful and is so efficient in delivering plans on time (if not earlier).  She’s great to bounce ideas off and has really gone above and beyond!

It’s great that you can tailor the design packages according to individual needs.  I will definitely be recommending Design Haus to anyone looking to get started on a bathroom project. Thanks again.

Brittany thank you for your efforts in organising our new bathrooms.

Working with you has been an absolute pleasure right from the word go. Your knowledge and honesty made the choice of picking you to work with a very easy one indeed.

This kind of expenditure is a huge decision and the mechanics of getting the job completed were certainly alien to us and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Brittany we want to pass on our sincere thanks for the wonderful job you did with our new bathroom. Having never been involved in any significant renovations Alex and I were a little uncertain about how to progress things with our bathroom. From our very first contact we found you to be very knowledgeable, approachable, flexible, and thoroughly professional.

Thank you so much for helping us get our wonderful new bathroom!

It is the bathroom of dreams, but also works very well for daily family life.  We love the double basin!

I highly recommend Design Haus.

It was my first time renovating and I found it extremely overwhelming.

Natalija gave us a choice of four plans for our small Family Bathroom and spent the time talking us through each plan and offering us constructive, knowledgeable and practical advice.  We found Natalija to be professional on every level and she was always available. 

We were so impressed that we asked Design Haus for their assistance in helping us renovate our 2nd bathroom.

We love our timeless new bathrooms!  Natalija needs a medal. 

We will be recommending Design Haus to others and most definitely will contact them with our future projects.
