At KWD we look at a project holistically. The sum of all the parts make the whole story work, and it’s this unique approach that sets us apart.
The KWD experience provides a streamlined process. We specify, source and supply all hard finishes as well as carpets, rugs, custom furniture and soft furnishings, and manage the procurement, warehousing, freight and quality so every project is worry free.
We work closely with interior designers, architects, developers and home-owners, selecting the ideal flooring, designing the perfect joinery and choosing the right paint colours for a wide range of design aesthetics. From finding the perfect paving stones and pool tiles to offering landscaping advice, KWD manages the whole design process.
One contact, one invoice and staged deliveries ensure peace of mind.
KWD's extensive global network of manufacturers, importers, agents and local wholesalers ensures the selected products are always available. Key supply partners are chosen for their ability to fulfil each project requirement, while our contract negotiation skills will always provide the most outstanding pricing.
We often engage architects, draftsmen, lighting designers and builders to complete the design process.
We embrace a consultative approach and develop lasting relationships with each and every client. It’s what the KWD team knows and loves.
“Design is not a thing we do. It’s our way of life.” Kate Walker
We were creating a home for someone else, so I was conscious not to put my personal stamp on the design, although we knew we wanted the homes to have a coastal feel because of the proximity to the water and the beautiful view.
This spectacular, contemporary farmhouse-style five-bedroom property is where country-meets-the-coast resort-style homestead with a swimming pool, tennis court and green hedged landscaped garden. It is a crowd pleaser.
At KWD, we love every style and enjoy specifying soft and hard finishes, colours, textures and furniture to match any brief. Design is not about what we would like in our own home, it’s about what works for our clients, what they feel comfortable and what suits their lifestyle.
The Porcelain Bear signature style is undeniably original, functional and beautiful. The duo behind the brand, Gregory Bonasera and Anthony Raymond, push the boundaries of porcelain as a material, taking it to places no other artists have gone before.
Being in the line of work she is in, making homes beautiful for her clients, Kate wanted something highly designed. “I wanted my home to display those things I have collected over the years and that I love being around.”
I love creating a juxtaposition between a few different styles. The form can be based on one aesthetic and the colour palette can be from another style and it can work beautifully. I love an eclectic blend of styles, and if you’re clever with the materials and spatial planning, you really can achieve a bespoke look.”
Garden design isn’t just about lawn and plants, paving and pathways, a sculptural form in the garden can make such a statement and create a signature look and a focal point.
Once you have made the decision to engage a designer, giving them a clear brief is the most effective way of ensuring you achieve your design dream. But where do you start?
