Make work life easier with CARTERS' professional interior design team, Yellowfox

Believing every space is worthy of a design professional, Yellowfox is passionate about all things design to help make your project progress with ease. Offering a stylish eye to drive a diverse range of design aesthetics, this team of designers will help ensure your client achieves their ultimate outcome in any style and in any setting.

Working from three locations - Auckland, Tauranga and Hamilton, but with their service available nationwide, Yellowfox has the experience, contacts and reach to collaborate with build partners across the country.

Yellowfox Design Manager Sophia Cole said, “We provide full interior & spatial design solutions, tailored to our client’s build budget. The years of experience and expertise behind our brand mean we are consistently delivering smart solutions for new builds and renovations.”

"All Yellowfox designers do their own cabinetry drawing and documentation in-house to NKBA design & drawing standards. High quality 3D renders are produced for all designed spaces, helping the client visualise their dream home at the design stage.”

 

Why should builders bring customers to see a designer?

“To push the boundaries with the design, and create beautiful, dynamic and liveable spaces as opposed to the ‘cookie cutter’ approach,” says Sophia, who manages Tauranga and Hamilton studios.

“We provide the ‘value add’ edge for any builder’s business, giving them the advantage over other builders who may simply leave the interior design element of the project up to the client, which can lead to an overwhelming, and time-consuming process.”

A true one stop shop, this leading design company holds a huge variety of interior and exterior finishes and samples at its three studios, to help ensure the decision-making process is as easy and stress-free as possible for clients.


How does engaging with Yellowfox make building easier for the builder? 

“We take the entire interior design aspect off the builder’s hands, leaving them to do what they do best – build. Every detail of the interior design is in good hands with a qualified interior designer,” says Yellowfox Design Manager Auckland, Peta Davy.

“Importantly, we save the builder time. We streamline the design process so that there aren’t any interior decisions holding up the build process.”

Yellowfox can provide valuable cost savings, as well as time savings, Peta says. “Builders with a CARTERS account can access our design service at a subsidised rate, approximately 20-25% less than full rate. Pricing is supplied after we have had time to go over the plans or meet with the builder and/or client to discuss what is involved.

“Our design fees are further subsidised by our Associate Supply Partners when their products are represented in our designs – a full list of our Associate Partners can be found on our website. We pass on all trade discounts from our suppliers to the builder or the client.”

BUILDERS TIPS WHEN ENGAGING A DESIGNER?

“It’s best to engage an interior designer pre-consent if possible, or at concept stage with the architect/ designer,” says Peta. “This is to factor in more flexibility for the interior designer to work with in terms of design aspects such as, say, window and plumbing placements. 

“Also, architectural plans are always great to have at our first meeting, but we can do full site measures for renovations if required.” 

Yellowfox can take your build project to the next level.
