“My aim is to provide the client with a stress free building or renovation experience and even have a little fun along the way”
CLAIRE YILDIZ
Claire Yildiz is a colour specialist and interior designer with over 10 years experience in the industry.
She began her design career at Aalto Colour where she trained in traditional colour making and colour practice. She was Aalto’s senior colour consultant for 4 years and developed a solid technical understanding of colour, paint and its application.
Claire’s point of difference lies in her eye catching colour schemes and the cohesive interior palettes she creates for each interior fit out. A recent industry achievement was to be highly commended by the Historic Places Trust for sympathetically restoring an historic homestead at Clevedon.
The relationship with her clients plays an important role in the interior design process. “ It is vital to ascertain the client’s vision, their personal style, needs and dreams. Their input combined with my aesthetic leads us in an exciting direction. ‘My aim is to provide the client with a stress free building or renovation experience and even have a little fun along the way”
Claire has a particular interest in mid century architecture and furniture. She adores the houses of Palm Springs in California, where mid-century homes have been preserved and renovated to become stunning residences.
Claire’s leisure time is creatively charged too. She regularly attends workshops at Artstation in Ponsonby where she continues her learning in drawing and painting. Claire loves to entertain and enjoys being creative with food, spends therapeutic time in her garden and keeps in shapes with yoga and team training. She is a mother of two children Dylan (17) and Romy (12).
