Rachael Lovelace

I first came across Rachael Lovelace when her Auckland home featured in Your Home & Garden magazine a couple of years back. An interior design student at the time, Rachael was clearly a risk taker when it came to decorating and it paid off. An eclectic mix of designer furniture, bright colour and kid-friendly flooring and walls, the house oozed style.

By the time I saw her gorgeous home feature again in Inside Out magazine I was hooked, and because I'm incredibly nosey and love nothing more than to take a peek into clever people's lives, I did a little digging. What I discovered was intriguing. This mother of two who had previously worked in advertising for 12 years, was now an award-winning interior designer with her own company, Lovelace & Co. 

Take a look at her work below and you will see why she has become such a success.

Caviar wallpaper in the master bedroom. How cool is that?

Rachael's own artwork in the playroom

Quirky dining area. Love that pendant light 

Blackboard wall in the kitchen for the kiddies 

Beautiful sheer curtains, an Eames rocker and  David Trubridge Coral Light

Great way to display kids books

Rachael has created some amazing hospitality spaces. She won silver awards at the Best Design Awards for these.
