Danielle Bates started her interior design company in 2005 when she returned from living in New York for 10 years. Since then Danielle has imported furniture, lighting and accessories from all over the world in order to give her clients interiors with a point of difference. She works on commercial, hospitality and residential projects throughout New Zealand and abroad.
Danielle doesn’t have a particular style of design in favour of working closely with the client to develop a concept that is unique, timeless and relevant. Her work is guided by three fundamental principles, architectural tonal texturing, which she defines as the creation of depth and form with similarly coloured materials, in an architecturally defined manner; a neutral palette that allows for colour, personality and distinctiveness through art, accessories and accent furniture; and a synergy between exterior and interior materials. Clients & architects describe her work as calming, individualised and cohesive.
