“Shanly Simpson is an amazing interior designer. She has boundless energy, amazing enthusiasm, and her attention to detail is unmatched.

We were struggling with redoing our outdated living room. After contacting Shanly she arrived the next day and we loved her ideas. She made things happen very quickly and we are absolutely delighted with the final outcome.

Shanly is very professional, nothing is too much trouble, and an absolute joy to work with. We could not have coped without her superb knowledge, taste and experience.

We would highly recommend Shanly to anyone needing interior design advice and help from such a lovely person.”

“Shanly helped transform the house into our dream home through her innate understanding of our needs and by recognising what would work best in the spaces. From room layout to furniture, fabrics, paint and colour selections, her service was both friendly and professional. The sectional sofa she made for us was of such high quality. Shanly is dedicated to her work and to keeping her clients happy. I will continue to consult with Shanly and can certainly recommend her for any interior design work.”

“I have worked with Shanly Simpson numerous times and the reason why is simple - because she’s good! Her work experience in America shines through when given various tasks on plans that I’ve given her. She is always so ‘up with the game’ and knows the latest trends, looks and styles. I would always use Shanly simply because, she’s the best!”

“I got Shanly Simpson to do interior decorating for my new house. She knew what she was doing and was very professional, always available to help me outside hours. She helped me choose my furniture.

“From the moment that Shanly walked into my home to help with my design and colour choices, I just felt a sense of relief! I had been so overwhelmed with the responsibility of choosing all the different colours of flooring, carpet, kitchen designs that I was almost paralysed with fear. Shanly was a breath of fresh air, she made decisions in 2 hours that I had spent weeks mulling over and the colours that she chose, fit together perfectly. I LOVE that she does a ‘quick’ consultation style, wherein 3 hours she has all the decisions made. I was so busy and didn’t want to spend days going over the options. We have had so many compliments on the final result of the house and I’m certain it has added significant value to the home. I have already recommended Shanly to several friends and would continue to use her for any future projects.”

"We hired Shanly to make a few changes and update our interior décor. She is honest and creative. She will work around your budget and what you already have. The items she suggested were contemporary, yet timeless. She understood our requirements. If you want your living spaces designed, I highly recommend Shanly.”

- Fran Wai Shing

“We engaged Shanly after being completely overwhelmed by the number of options and choices out there to complete and decorate our new house. With a limited budget, we had Shanly give us some great ideas to narrow down our choices around fabric, drapes, furniture, room layout and décor ideas, to achieve the look we were going for. We found Shanly to be extremely helpful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. She’s a true professional who listens to her customer’s needs and comes up with great ideas and suggestions. I would highly recommend Shanly’s services to anyone.”

- Maureen Ibrahim

“Shanly is a pleasure to work with. Her practical, unpretentious style has helped us solve a number of design constraint issues, within a realistic budget where others have not. The fact that we have used her services on more than one occasion, is a testament to our confidence and faith in her ability to get the job done. When looking for design-related advice, you need not look further than Shanly.”

- Lance & Michelle

“Shanly Simpson has consulted for both myself and my parents on different occasions for many years.

Shanly is incredibly professional and confident with the decisions she makes; she works fast and smart with amazing attention to detail. She is so personable, always listens to our needs, has great suggestions and keeps within our budget on every project.

My parent’s rental property, which was recently renovated and sold, is a good example. I asked Shanly to consult on colours and carpet. My parents contracted a professional painter with 20 years of experience. When Shanly suggested the colours, however, the painter said he had been painting a long time and that he didn't agree with the colour choice. We proceeded to listen to Shanly, as her track record consulting for us, had been impeccable.

My parents and I are extremely glad we did listen to Shanly as the end result looked absolutely stunning. Even the professional painter was surprised and extremely impressed. The colours, along with the carpet Shanly selected, were perfect for what we wanted. The house sold very quickly.

Shanly also helped me to set up my studio, making it look like a million dollars and working within my budget. The outcome was very minimalistic, functional and professional.

I highly recommend Shanly. She had an incredible mentor when she lived in America, and she brings great wisdom to our country. Shanly Simpson is, without a doubt, the best interior designer in New Zealand.”

- Ryanne O’Leary

“I asked Shanly to help me redecorate and refresh an existing room, and immediately after sending her photos of the room and examples that took my fancy, she had 'the look'.

I found Shanly to be very professional and personable, and she was able to incorporate some of my ideas and give them a twist that I could never have imagined. I appreciated the fact she suggested recycling some of the current pieces and recommended which needed to go. This meant the budget went further, and we are delighted with the outcome.

Her recommendation of other services and personnel has been spot on and all her contacts speak very highly of her talents, abilities and professionalism.

I would definitely recommend her and would use her talents again.”
