Gosh – February already!
With the kids finally back at school and routines settling again, it feels like the year properly begins now. It’s the month where life finds its rhythm, work schedules return, and we all get a little breathing space to think about what we want to achieve.
I’ve been back into it for a few weeks now -diving into some online learning, upholstery projects, and even a few projects at my own home (including plenty of gardening and new planting). We also had a number of lovely projects roll over from 2025, so it’s been all go here at Style and Soul.
Now that things are calmer, do you have time to focus on your home? What would you like to achieve this year? It might be as simple as a cushion refresh to lift your furniture, custom-made drapes and blinds, a larger styling project, or perhaps you’re preparing to sell and need help with pre-sale styling.
Our services cover all of these – and I would absolutely love to work with you this year to create spaces that feel beautiful, functional and truly yours.
Ready for dream drapes?
If custom-made drapes or blinds are on your wish list, now is the perfect time to book your in-home consultation.
We specialise in dream drapes, custom made right here in East Auckland, combining quality craftsmanship with beautiful fabrics and expert guidance. Maree, our fabric expert with 30 years in the textile and interiors industry, will walk you through a seamless, stress-free process — helping you choose the perfect solution for your home and budget.
Sheers, lined drapes, Roman blinds, roller blinds — we have options to suit every space. The transformation is always a positive one, not just in how your home looks, but in how it feels to live in. Beautiful window treatments truly lift a home and the people in it 🤍
We love what we do — and you’ll love the results.
🏡 In-home consultations available now


When it comes to pre-sale styling, we fill the gap between doing nothing and full staging. Many homes don’t need to be emptied and restyled from scratch — you already have beautiful furniture and belongings. What they do need is a trained eye to declutter, refine the layout, improve flow and highlight the home’s best features. That’s where we come in.
Ready to transform your space and make a seamless transition to your next chapter? I specialise in guiding clients through the art of decluttering, downsizing and home styling. Preparing to say goodbye to a much-loved family home can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, the process becomes lighter and more manageable. From editing your rooms to maximising their potential, I’ll have your home camera-ready and open-home perfect — styled to showcase its unique charm and appeal to buyers.
If you’re preparing for a sale this year, let’s take the first step toward a beautifully styled and successfully sold home. Together we’ll turn the page to your next adventure — with style and soul.
