Based in Kerikeri and servicing the wider Far North region, Janelle brings over two decades of experience within the building and interiors industry, working alongside homeowners, builders, contractors and trades across both renovations and new builds.

Her career began in kitchen design before naturally evolving into bathrooms, flooring and window furnishings — giving her a well-rounded understanding of how every element within a home works together. Through years of experience, Janelle has developed a passion for creating thoughtful, functional spaces that not only look beautiful, but feel right for the people living in them. She believes the right mix of textures, materials and finishes can completely transform the atmosphere of a home and create moments that people genuinely enjoy living in every day.

Having lived in Kerikeri for the past six years, Janelle is proud to work alongside a range of trusted suppliers and is excited to be part of the incredible homes and projects being created throughout the region.

One area Janelle is especially passionate about is pre-gib consultation for window furnishings — something she sees as a real gap in the market. Over the years, she has seen too many homeowners miss out on the window treatments they truly wanted simply because key details weren’t considered early enough in the build process. From structural reinforcement for heavy drapery and shutters, to recessed curtain tracks, ceiling cavities and hardwiring for automation, many important decisions need to happen before linings go on. Her goal is to help clients plan ahead early in the design stage, ensuring their home is both practical and beautifully resolved from the beginning.

As an independent local business, Curtains & Blinds Specialists Kerikeri operates with a highly personalised approach. Without the layers of large corporate overheads, Janelle can focus her time and energy where it matters most — thoughtful design, genuine relationships, quality products and tailored service for every client.
