Philly Lyus Design

I loved working with these clients on their family home. It was a complete rebuild. I started with them after their drawings came in. I redesigned the kitchen layout, removing a 4th toilet that was unnecessary opening up the wall to give them a scullery. My clients wanted a no fuss look with a very simple easy to clean kitchen and bathroom.. including no handles in the kitchen, under mount sinks and large format tiles on the floor. We had firewalls on 3 sides to deal with which limited plumbing,window and electrical freedom but we worked through it and I do love a challenge! Budget restricted us on a few things in the end like kitchen Benchtop's and no mirrors in the bathroom (yet) but I do still love the way it came together.

Function meets beauty with this lovely finished bench seating in great for the team or clients to sit comfortably and watch over the busy auction room.

Almost finished this ensuite for my lovely clients in Mt Eden. They are super happy- it's come together well- now for the rest of the house.. love my job! Swipe right for the BEFORE photos!

No kids allowed! Adults only sanctuary.

Almost Friyay! This stunning bar cabinet is perfectly positioned in this gorgeous morningside home - ready to mix up something delicious and sit by the fire and enjoy.

New bedroom set up for one of my amazing clients! Used my new headboard design-Super happy with how it all came together - restful, inviting, and calming. Happy Friday everyone!

Love a photo shoot with my favourite photographer! 😍

Installing these linen curtains was a massive challenge due to the architecture and the bracing rods in this stunning Remuera home.. but we are so happy with the way they turned out. Beautifully reflecting the trees outside. Now all that's needed is some sunshine and a cup of tea for this special little nook by the kitchen in the cutest little swivel chair! .

Super fun Remuera Reno I have worked on with a beautiful client. They love colour so it was fun helping pull it together in a cohesive way. They didn't want sterile or beige- they wanted eclectic family living and I think we achieved just that. They are super happy with the result.

Morning sibling chats over some fresh fruit. What's a better way to start the day.

Mum and I kicked into styling gear to get this property of ours ready for sale. We raided both our houses, power shopped and loaded the cars for days on end to get it ready. The result is a house now sold in less than 2 weeks for a great price. 27 years of homestaging and interior design experience helped for sure - but I think the magic came from working together with my beautiful mum again. We both loved it!! It's always the simple wins in life that matter- cherish what and who you love. I know I do. Thanks you truely are more than any daughter could wish for. # # #

Love a good before and after! This ensuite bathroom was a dream to work on with one of the most amazing clients. She knew what she wanted and wanted everything that is cool. So here it is! Part of a much larger project.. but one of my favourite spaces in it.
