Collaborative Approach

Newton and Kay

The design of this Tui Glen residence is both fresh but with strong bold lines, particularly in the bathroom around edging of the cabinetry and mirrors.

Newton & Kay is a collaborative interior design studio based in the Bay of Islands.

Driven by a passion for soulful design, our ethos is to create beautiful spaces that are both timeless and functional. Grounded in both art and architecture, our bespoke approach to design is a refined, yet warm expression of the built environment using light, form, colour and texture.

At Newton & Kay we offer a wide range of services, including, full interior design, concept design including mood boards, visualisations and 3D rendering, interior and exterior paint schedules, kitchens and bathrooms, furniture, soft furnishings, spacial planning, custom window treatments and lighting.

Founded by designers Lara Kay and Laura Newton, communication and client relationship is at the core of what we do.

Newton & Kay will work together with you on every step of the process to develop a design that suits both your personal desires as well as your lifestyle. We believe working in a collaborative environment enables us to deliver the ultimate vision and to create spaces that evoke emotion.

Lara began her creative career in the UK studying architectural photography, which gave her the opportunity to travel around the country exploring beautiful architecture and interior design.

She later moved to New Zealand where she turned her passion for design into a reality, undertaking a full renovation project, as well as a self build.

Miranda has a past steeped in creativity, including working as a visual merchandiser, gaining a Diploma in Art Fundamentals and a year studying illustration.

She has always had an affinity for creating beautiful scenes, and her interest in interior design was a natural progression and truly ignited during her first house build, a family home in the Bay of Islands.

Miranda has since been studying a Diploma course in the field and when the opportunity arose to start a business with a like minded designer, Newton and Kay came to fruition.
