Why Clients Love Working With Us

Laura has been working with me to create an expression of our brand within our hospitals. She brings the ideal (and rare) blend of expertise in interior architecture and spatial design, combined with a person-centred, customer experience mindset. She doesn’t only want spaces to look good, but inherently understands our need to create a smooth experience for those receiving and delivering healthcare. While confident in her own expertise, she is comfortable blending this with the expertise of others. She has worked well with people across our organisation; actively listening to needs and feedback. She has a commercial mindset, understanding that the end result needs to bring business benefit. I have found her to be very responsive, deadline focused, and committed to a job well done.

"Your commitment and professional input to get the result we have achieved is very much appreciated, top down. Great result the place looks fantastic. You should be very proud, Giltrap Group is."

We are building a new home and Pocketspace have been amazing. Our initial selection session was so helpful. They had really thought about our family's needs and the look we were after. They had such good ideas and helped to narrow down our choices saving us so much time. It has been so helpful to be able to ask them questions on colour, looks and where to find things. I would recommend Pocketspace to anyone needing help with anything interior related.

Many thanks to the Pocketspace team for their incredible mahi, guidance and project management of Youthline Auckland Charitable Trusts, move into new premises at Owens Road in 2023. The support with spatial planning, and interior design was greatly appreciated for this significant project. The team was a pleasure to work with and attentive to all our needs. Thank you - Nga mihi

Laura & and Sarah of Pocketspace have helped me out on a few occasions both Residentially & Commercially. On each occasion they have interpreted my ramblings with laser precision. Their ideas are in alignment with my philosophy of maximum effect minimum cost. I know what looks great and what doesn’t. But I have no idea how to come up with the plan - thats where the dynamic duo come in!

I wholeheartedly recommend Pocketspace for your next project.

I have used PocketSpace to setup our new office space. I was so impressed by their speed to meet our deadlines, quality of work and sticking within the budget. They made the process easy. I was impressed enough to hire them again to plan and oversee the renovations at my own home too, which are finally in progress! Sarah and Laura who I worked with, are professional, organised and great at what they do. Highly recommend.

"Laura assisted JUCY Group whose Head Office is based in Auckland, New Zealand, with their latest office move designing and fitted out the space. To start the space was a derelict carpark however with the vision and experience of Laura she came up with some awesome concepts for the space, helping us with space maps as well as furniture options.

During the 9 months we worked along side Laura she became part of the JUCY family, one weekend even going out of her way to collect some props from a farm on the way back to Auckland after a weekend with her family.

JUCY Management were pleased with the result of Lauras dedicated work, at times even getting hands on and active with the install team.

Laura loves being involved, has the passion and drive, she’s dedicated and always extremely happy to help, we’d definitely recommend her to others looking for a designer with solid experience and awesome ideas."

Dan and Tim / Jucy Rentals

Buying our new building was one thing but fitting it out was something else. We knew we needed expert help and had admired the work done by Pocketspace on the Jucy offices in the city. We loved the clean, fresh aesthetic and once we met Laura we knew that she was the right person for our project. Laura provided us with a great design concept that included all the spaces we needed and incorporated a grown plan for when added more members of the team. Laura was patient, easy to work with and her taste was flawless – right down to the details such as our office furniture and lighting. We loved working with Laura and Pocketspace and highly recommend them.

"Working within the space constraints that we have in our small office, Laura was very professional and great to deal with. She has fantastic ideas and was always willing to listen to us and work with us. We would definitely recommend her to others."

Ruth Donde / Vital Futures.

“Laura’s wise and warm guidance was absolutely invaluable when it came to completing our comprehensive home renovation. As first-time renovators, both of us with very busy jobs and very little confidence when it came to interior design, we needed someone to take us in hand, keep us on task and give us the advice we needed to feel comfortable about the many (oh, SO MANY!!) decisions we had to make. Laura quickly got to know us, our tastes, our aesthetics and what we were trying to achieve – and she helped us make choices that we are absolutely thrilled with. She always had time for the most mundane questions and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We simply could not have done it without her.”

Courtney & David.

"We are just delighted with our new bathroom – even though it is a small space, thanks to the design it feels so much bigger. Laura and Lucy worked hard to make it a painless process for us – and thanks to the excellent tradespeople they engaged, it has been completed to the highest standard."

"300 Richmond LTD operates serviced offices and has been working with Laura and her team to bring a fresh look to the communal areas within our business centre since last year. Laura is very professional and creative, with great attention to detail, and brought lots of new ideas to the table during our discussions. As a small company, one of the other benefits we saw in working with Pocketspace Interiors was their flexibility in providing as much or as little support as we needed on the project; We were able to use our own tradesmen and project manage some work our selves, but could rely on their support for the design, procurement and finding the right people to complete specific jobs. As a business centre we cater to a variety of companies and professionals and the feed back we have received from our clients about the renovated space has been extremely positive so far, and we are very happy with the end results."

We have one very lucky teen daughter. In her transition from what was a smallish girl’s bedroom to relocating into a larger spare room/office space, she has ended up with one of the best rooms in the house!! Lucy was able to view the room and transform it into a sleek, stylish and practical bedroom with loads of storage, a slouchy teen window seat and great finishing touches with cushions and plants. Lucy’s initial look sheets were really valuable in being able to visualise the full project, and we’re so pleased with the end result. It was a fun and successful collaboration and we’d engage PocketSpace again without hesitation. Thanks guys.

I moved last year and was struggling to find nice furniture that suited my new home when a friend recommended Laura at Pocketspace to me. As I had never used an interior designer before I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to get the vision I wanted for my home across. However, when Laura and Lucy visited my home it took only a few minutes of chatting for them to understand the look and feel I wanted for my home. No request was too difficult for them, they were able to make sure that my furniture was pet proof and would look good in any future home I lived in.

They involve you in as much or as little of the process as you want. Once they understood what I wanted for my home they sent me several options for each piece of furniture along with their opinion on each and which they thought would look best. If I ever wanted more options they were more than happy to provide them, although I would usually choose their original recommendation so learnt that it was best for me to leave them to choose. This did mean that I was forced out of my comfort zone and ended up selecting items I would never have chosen for myself and the end result was outstanding and far better than anything I could have put together.

Not only does my home look fantastic but they’ve given it a nice warm homey feel as well. They stayed within the budget I gave them and did their best to save my money where ever they could. They even gave me some personal advice on how to keep my home looking great, such as how to make my bed properly and how to kung foo chop my cushions to keep them fluffed up.

Laura and Lucy are an amazing team, I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to up level their home.
