Kirsty was amazing from the start. Very responsive and quick to reply to mails and set up our first meeting. She understood our style immediately and was able to provide the perfect advice and assistance beyond my expectations. Her style and design sense is impeccable and we appreciated her professionalism. She works with the best in the industry and was able to provide discounts, and more importantly, the guidance that we needed to get started with making our house a beautiful sanctuary. More...

Kirsty has been wonderful to work with, still a long way to go on my redesign, but I feel well prepared, well supported and excited about my final outcome.
Sai
Residential Interior Designers
Kirsty provided excellent advice on how to decorate the wall and also put us in touch with the workmen to do the job... she did all this for free, as the job we wanted was very small and she was honest enough to tell us that we may not need to employ her services for that job. .. will definitely consider her when we have a bigger job.... Thanks Kirsty for your advice... More...

We had Kirsty come visit to give some advice and inspiration for our fairly new house, specifically wanting some guidance on furniture placement and future purchases to fill the space. The advice given was amazing, she helped us real time with a few layout suggestions as well as offered a wealth of ideas following the consultation that will keep us busy for a while. More...

Will definitely use Kirsty again, she goes out of her way and loves what she does
Leisa Wall
Kirsty was great with my landscaping back yard design. She thinks not only about the structure but how you actually live in the space. She added thoughts that even we had never considered and will make a huge difference without a big investment. I highly recommend getting Kirsty to take a look at your project as you’ll be pleasantly surprised what she can see that you can’t. More...
David Shirley
Kirsty has impeccable taste and comes to the table with so many amazing ideas, yet still manages to remain incredibly collaborative and focused on the needs of her client. It really is the perfect mix. I absolutely love my new bathroom. More...
Grant Metson
Kirsty is not just operating at an extraordinary aesthetic level as a designer ; but she also has an astonishing ability to bring the client, suppliers and the contractors together for the complete advancement of the project. Ultimately her clients always benefit from this supplementary skill set that Kirsty brings. More...
What’s your interior design process?
This consultation is the perfect starting point if you're planning a renovation or simply need professional guidance before making any major decisions.
During our two-hour consultation, we'll walk through your home together, discuss how you use your spaces, explore your ideas and identify opportunities to improve both the functionality and feel of your home. I'll also capture 3D imagery and floor plans where required to support the design process.
Following our consultation, you'll receive a personalised summary by email, including a preliminary renovation budget estimate, a suggested design direction, inspiration and product recommendations, together with practical advice to help you move forward with confidence.
If you need ongoing support beyond the consultation, design advice is also available on an hourly basis and can be tailored to suit your individual project.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
I don't believe great design comes from applying the same style to every home.
Every project begins by understanding how you live, what inspires you and how you want your home to feel. Whether your style is contemporary, classic, coastal, modern, timeless or something entirely your own, my role is to bring your vision together in a way that feels cohesive, practical and uniquely personal.
The result isn't a home that looks like one of my previous projects, it's a home that feels completely yours.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is helping people see the potential in their homes and creating spaces that genuinely improve the way they live. There's something incredibly rewarding about taking a space that feels overwhelming, impractical or uninspiring and transforming it into somewhere that feels beautiful, functional and uniquely theirs.
Every project is different. I enjoy the challenge of solving design problems, reimagining layouts and bringing together materials, colours and textures in a way that tells my clients' story. Most of all, I love seeing the moment when a client walks into their completed space and says, "This is even better than I imagined."
For me, great design isn't just about how a home looks, it's about creating spaces that feel effortless to live in and bring joy every single day.
What inspired you to start your own business?
For as long as I can remember, creativity and innovation have been at the forefront of everything I do. Whether designing a high-end corporate event, creating a rooftop poolside bar, or renovating a home, I have always been drawn to beautiful spaces and the transformative power of thoughtful design.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of travelling the world and working on remarkable projects alongside incredibly talented people. My career has seen me receive prestigious awards across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand, while leading media launches, large-scale events and specialised projects for high-end brands as a Senior Events Producer and Project Architect.
Starting my own business felt like a natural evolution. I wanted the freedom to bring together everything I love—creativity, strategic thinking, spatial design and collaboration—to create spaces that are both beautiful and deeply personal. There is something incredibly rewarding about helping clients reimagine their homes and seeing the positive impact great design can have on their everyday lives.
My appreciation for interiors and architecture has grown significantly over the years, leading me to complete a Diploma in Interior Design and SketchUp Pro for Interior Designers. This formal training has strengthened my understanding of design principles and further cemented my passion for creating thoughtful, functional and memorable spaces.
Today, Kirsty Vegas Design is the culmination of a lifetime of creative experiences, and I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love every day.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients choose Kirsty Vegas Design because I genuinely care about creating spaces that are a true reflection of the people who live in them.
I take the time to listen—really listen—to understand not only what my clients want their space to look like, but how they want it to feel and function. By combining their vision with thoughtful design, practical solutions and years of creative experience, I create spaces that are both beautiful and perfectly suited to their lifestyle.
I have built my reputation on going above and beyond. I consistently over-deliver, bringing energy, creativity and meticulous attention to detail to every project, regardless of its size. My clients know they have someone in their corner who is passionate, approachable and committed to achieving the very best outcome.
Renovating or building can feel overwhelming, but I believe the design journey should be enjoyable and exciting. I work tirelessly to make the process collaborative, stress-free and fun, guiding my clients every step of the way until we create a space they absolutely love.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to create thoughtful, beautiful spaces that exceed expectations and make everyday living feel effortless.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, absolutely. I offer a range of services remotely and work with clients throughout New Zealand and internationally.
Virtual consultations can be arranged via FaceTime, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or other online platforms, providing expert advice on interiors, colour palettes, furnishings, finishes and design direction from the comfort of your home.
My spatial redesign service is also ideally suited to remote delivery. Clients simply provide their existing floor plans along with photographs or a walkthrough video of the space. From there, I can assess the layout and provide practical design solutions, including updated floor plans, space planning recommendations and, where required, detailed 3D renders to help visualise the finished result.
Whether you're looking for a fresh perspective on a single room or a complete home transformation, I can guide you through the design process remotely with the same level of care, creativity and attention to detail as an in-person service.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Your comfort and safety is incredibly important to me. I am fully vaccinated and am happy to wear a mask during consultations or site visits if that makes you feel more comfortable.
I understand that every client has different preferences when it comes to health and safety, so I am always happy to accommodate individual requests. Where tradespeople are involved, I can assist in ensuring everyone entering your home adheres to any safety requirements you may have.
I also offer virtual consultations via Zoom, FaceTime or Microsoft Teams for clients who prefer to meet remotely. My goal is to ensure that every client feels safe, respected and completely at ease throughout the design process.
