New Home, Pauanui
"We found Mandy's knowledge and expertise invaluable when choosing blinds for our new home. We are thrilled with the results".
August 2013. LeeAnne & Andrew Macready, Pauanui.

Holiday Home, Hahei
Mandy organised a house lot of blinds and curtains for us earlier this year (2013). Mandy is very professional, friendly, and patient to deal with. She is generous with her advice, and we appreciated that she provided her design expertise without imposing her own preferences on us. She doesn't rest until the client is completely satisfied. We were delighted with the results, and wouldn't hesitate to use Mandy again.

We recently had a new blind purchased for the office at Ocean Breeze Resort. Mandy Alexander provided excellent service and professional advice as to what would be best suited for the situation. I would highly recommend Mandy for her professionalism, eye for detail, and personal commitment to provide an excellent service.

Window Treatments, Maramarua
We built our new home in 2011 and sought the services of Mandy, as I was at a total loss as to what to choose. Mandy had great ideas, advice and suggestions giving us different options to consider, taking into account our concerns about lighting and privacy. We completed our window treatments in 2 installations, firstly installing wooden blinds in December 2011 and sunscreen roller blinds in March 2013. Mandy is a perfectionist when it comes to measuring blinds, and went above and beyond to ensure we were 100% happy. The blinds arrived in a timely manner and installation was super quick and professionally done. We decided against installing the blinds ourselves - the installer arranged by Mandy was friendly, helpful, polite, efficient, and took the time to clean up afterwards. The blinds are perfect and I've received many compliments from family and friends about how great they look. I am very pleased with the quality, colour and perfect fit of the blinds and efficiency of the job. The whole process was seamless and low stress. I highly recommend Mandy – she provides outstanding customer service, and is very friendly and professional. We will definitely be seeking Mandy’s service again when we decide to complete the look of our windows with curtains.

Pauanui Renovation
A few years ago my husband and I moved from Wellington to live permanently in Pauanui, which resulted in major alterations to our beach house. Mandy Alexander proved to be of invaluable assistance advising on paint colours, flooring and selection and installation of blinds. She was happy to come to the house at short notice when I had various samples to look at and was willing to listen to our ideas. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone seeking professional assistance with home décor.

New Build, Pauanui
In 2006 while my house in Pauanui was being built, I asked Mandy Alexander to help me choose colours and for general guidance in decor. I found Mandy to be very knowledgeable and practical in all aspects of interior decorating and she listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve. The result is a house in which I live happily with my choices and I particularly appreciated that Mandy had no interest in pushing the "latest trends" onto me. I am happy to recommend Mandy and her work.

Re-fresh of Pauanui Holiday Home
My husband and I bought a very modest Holiday Home in Pauanui, which needed some accessories, blinds and linen. After meeting Mandy Alexander and discussing some of our needs she agreed to visit and help all she could. Mandy was superb. She was incredibly professional in all aspects of Customer Service. Mandy produced catalogues, samples of curtaining, colour swatches, fabric swatches etc. Her knowledge in this field is impressive as was her integrity and honesty. Anything I ordered and purchased was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I can recommend Mandy to anyone who needs to accessorize their property, redo drapes, buy furniture or have an overall Interior Design make over.

New Build, Pauanui
We enlisted Mandy’s help when choosing the colours for the interior and exterior of our new home in 2004. Mandy provided us with a brief overview of our home and lifestyle then suggested relevant colours and finishes alongside sample colour swatches. Using Mandy’s skills and services meant we were able to paint our home with confidendence and be assured that it would fit into the environment and achieve the look we desired. We have continued to use Mandy’s services to complete the window treatments and accessories through out our home. Mandy’s service has always been extremely professional, and outstanding quality, she is able to think around problems and find solutions that met our brief. We have no hesitation recommending Mandy to our clients and friends who are requiring design services.

Delicatessen Design Concept, Whangamata
I engaged Mandy to prepare a concept plan when embarking on a project to open a delicatessen in 2004. Mandy took on this project with great enthusiasm and presentd me with an excellent concept. This included everything inside the deli from wall colours, furniture – including the layout, bench top materials, outside furniture. This was a huge undertaking and Mandy’s concept was presented in an easy to follow format. I consider Mandy is totally professional and ideally suited to being an Interior Designer. She was always available for meetings and full of new innovative ideas. I would not hesitate to engage her in any further work I may have and also recommend her expertise to all my friends.
