My Story: Welcome to Karen Maree Design.

My journey is fueled by a love for expressing my creative side and a desire to create furniture that you would love to have in your home. My business is all about giving each particular piece of furniture another shot at being used in a home setting, and acknowledging every piece has its own story to tell.

The Art of Upcycling: We specialise in the art of upcycling, breathing new vitality into pre-loved furniture. I love to refurbish and reimagine each piece, infusing it with creativity and character. From vintage charm to modern chic, to trying something new, to creating a custom piece and everything in between.

Sharing Ideas with other Creatives: I’m more than happy to share ideas and teach what I have learnt on my path so far. Talk to me about any classes you would be interested in, and lets see if we can make that happen.

I have sourced replacement handles, legs or feet and other useful DIY tools to help with your own projects. If I don’t have what you are looking for, just ask, I may be able to locate it for you.

White Cloud Transfers: I am very proud to be a distributor of the beautiful White Cloud Transfers. These rub on transfers are all made right here in New Zealand and best of all you can request a custom design, made to your requirements, at no additional cost.
