Remuera High-end Whole House Renovation
We are delighted to showcase one of our recent full-service interior design projects – a major renovation of a large family home designed for sophisticated, effortless entertaining. Our clients, now enjoying an empty nest, wanted a space that reflected their lifestyle: elegant, functional and perfect for hosting family and friends.
From the very beginning, Nicola Manning Design led the project as the principal interior designer, managing every stage with our structured design process. We coordinated all trades, oversaw timelines and ensured every detail was perfectly aligned with the vision. The renovation encompassed the ensuite, family bathroom, guest bathroom, powder room, media room, study, outdoor kitchen, laundry, kitchen and scullery, master bedroom and living room.
A standout feature of this renovation is the kitchen – the true heart of the home. Designed to flow seamlessly into the family room and extend into the outdoor living area, it creates a natural connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. This layout offers flexibility for both intimate family gatherings and larger celebrations.
In keeping with our clients’ passion for entertaining, the kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, a dedicated coffee station for the family’s coffee enthusiasts and a fully integrated bar with a wine fridge and generous preparation space. These bespoke features not only elevate functionality but also enhance the experience of hosting guests.
The result is a cohesive, luxurious home that balances style with practicality. It’s a space where our clients can entertain with ease, enjoy day-to-day comfort and create lasting memories — all delivered through NM Design’s hallmark structured, turnkey approach.

Nicola designed and planned and managed a make over of our near 15 year old interior including Kitchen, bathrooms, home office, media room. Nicola and her team were so great to work with making everything uncomplicated, fun, and of course professional. The result was awesome. They listened to our requests, worked to our tastes and offered their advice and opinion to keep us on track. Nothing was a problem and always quick to respond and find a solution that we liked. Very happy to recommend NMD Nicola and team.
