Turning this house at Horsham Downs into a haven was a delight for the Rupert and Marshall team based in Hamilton.
Interior designer Melanie Marshall brought this house to life using a variety of textures amongst a range of different furniture to add warmth in many ways, and the cushions and throws add the final touch of indulgence.
Specialising in residential new builds, renovation concepts, colour consulting, kitchen and bathroom concepts, lighting and artwork, furniture and decor, wallpaper and flooring, Rupert and Marshall offers a wide range of services.
Founded on the simple belief that good design brings quality to life, we create emotive modern interiors that are distinguished by their warmth, originality and careful attention to detail.
Mixing contemporary and custom-designed pieces with one-of-a-kind accessories, which combine to create compelling atmospheres that are reassuringly warm and layered with visual interest.
Our approach is client and site specific, ensuring that no two projects look or feel the same.
Melanie enjoys working on new builds and renovations. Her portfolio includes many different styles and she loves working with tonal elements and layers of texture to bring just the right personality.

Distance isn’t an issue; she works with clients in the Waikato, Coromandel, Auckland and Northland, drawing on the unique surroundings of each home to perfect my designs.
