Anna believes everyone is inherently creative. When you can express yourself in your home, you create environments that allow you to thrive. Her work combines intuition, practicality, and creativity to design homes that feel aligned, personal, and functional.
Anna’s ethos
Living with grace and ease forms the backbone of Anna’s design philosophy. Grace was Anna’s grandmother’s name, and so Anna Grace is a nod to her – the woman who taught her so much, and especially how to live with grace.
Anna has been creating interiors since 2014. A qualified Interior Designer, she lives in Whangārei, Northland with her family. Her passion for design began in childhood, vividly imagining and recording the interiors of homes in her notebooks, and designing her first personal sanctuary (her bedroom) at age twelve.
Before becoming an interior designer, Anna worked as a visual merchandiser for a major clothing company in Australia, managing over 25 stores across Sydney and rural NSW. This experience taught her the value of clear communication and listening skills that remain central to her interior design work today.
The interior design process begins with an initial consultation to clarify your needs, how you want to feel in your home, and what you hope to achieve. From there, Anna develops a concept that’s sure to surprise and delight you.
Her mission is to help you create a home that is an expression of yourself. A space where you feel completely at ease, and where every detail reflects who you are and how you live. She will guide you through the design journey with clarity and care.
Anna blends existing pieces and family treasures with new purchases to create intentional, individual spaces. Her industry connections and flair for design ensure clients have access to unique, personalised options that elevate both style and practicality. Here’s how:
Intuitive design approach
Design led by intuition and experience, tuning into how clients live to create spaces that feel aligned, balanced, and personal.
Brave use of colour
Confident, intentional colour choices guided by feeling, not trends. Designed to support mood, personality, and long-term enjoyment.
Residential projects
Interior design for private homes across Northland, from multi room updates to full home transformations focused on comfort and longevity.
Full-service interior design
End to end interior design for multi room and whole home projects, managed with care, clarity, and a tailored, collaborative process.
Trade Coordination
Design and trades managed together for a seamless result, with trusted suppliers, clear communication, and reduced stress throughout.

Anna is fantastic! I booked her for an in home consult as I was pulling my hair out trying to fit our furniture into our new home. She waved her magic wand and put my mind at ease and made everything work again. She helped guide me with my colour and wallpaper choices, plus organised all of our new curtains and blinds. Now the house feels like ours again! Highly recommended. Thanks Anna

Anna made the process of choosing soft furnishings and floorings and paint colours so super easy. I cant recommend her highly enough. She gave me the confidence I lacked to choose bold patterns on my own - and I feel so deliciously happy about the choices too! Investing time with Anna is definatley worth it - I would have made very costly mistakes without her input. For sitting on the fence about booking a session, I say just go for it, you wont be disapointed.

It's so easy to gather fantastically appealing ideas from platforms such as Pinterest and from these create strong visions of what you want your new spaces to look like.
Then as the new spaces are formed; the light impacts differently to how you thought it would. A key material has a more definite hue than expected or influences the feel of a space in an unexpected ways.
Suddenly those certain ideas are not so certain anymore and ordering deadlines are fast approaching. They've been in your head a. year or more, where do you start creating a vision that might work better, how to you move forward?
Well we called Anna.
The very next day Anna came to visit us at our current home of 25 years and we talked through our preferred samples of aluminium joinery, flooring and paint swatches. We then relocated our conversation to our building site adding in our rammed earth walls and surrounding greenery to the conversation.
With Anna's guidance we began to see that the rammed earth walls would be the tonal feature of our interior and that a priority for us is for our living spaces to be warmly cohesive. Therefore we want our choices of aluminium joinery, flooring and wall colours to reference the tones of the rammed earth walls.
Thanks to Anna's skills at creating a simple scaffold to create some broad parameters and support our decision making,
I now feel so much more ready and confident to make building and design decisions to create a unique living space that is connected to the inside building materials and the outside environment.
Thank you Anna and I look forward to checking in with you for added support along the way

Anna met us at our pace of expertise with her own. Working with Anna was so much more than creating lovely homely spaces - it has been a delicious, collaborative, creative journey enhancing our whole health through creating expansive energetic environment for us to thrive as a family and to share with our friends. This is not an indulgent one off experience, this is a pleasure practice everybody needs to experience to up level their environment and tell the universe - this ....and more please! I recommend Anna Grace whole heartedly STAT!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna Grace Design where I asked her to choose paint colours for our office, she listened to what we like and how we work. What she came up with has been perfect for us - she also picked up carpet samples - it was all too easy, much better than doing this myself. Thank you Anna, I am looking forward to you helping me with my home.

We were doing a house renovation, while we knew what the structural changes would be we were stuck about look, feel, furniture and detailed decoration. Anna guided us expertly from stuck to elegantly done. We couldn’t be happier! Anna resourced every design decision; found fantastic trades people and wonderful designer furniture providers and looked after the whole process from concept to delivery.

Anna transformed our tiny spare bedroom into a much larger, welcoming space by simply moving the furniture around and adding a colourful blind. Brilliant!
