Queenstown’s longest established interior design and home staging business has new premises at Frankton’s Five Mile.

Peak Interiors owner Kath Evans has operated the store with its quality furniture, accessories, exquisite soft furnishings and stunning lighting in Queenstown for 35 years.

Her son Mark has recently joined the company and together they have established new premises in a light-filled and spacious 400 square metre space in the Five Mile retail centre.

“It’s the largest shop I’ve ever had in Queenstown,” says Kath. “People walk in and go ‘wow’. I’ve wanted to have a store on this site for several years and now is the right time, in the right space, in the perfect location with parking right outside the door. To be able to showcase everything we do in one spot is a dream come true.”

The space is large enough to split into multiple display zones featuring lounge, bedroom and dining table settings. Colours and textures of suite coverings, cushions, throws and curtain samples range from jewel-like hues to complex weaves, soft wool or sheer voiles.

Kath says those who loved the rich textures and intense colours and patterns of fabrics in the popular Elvis movie will be delighted to spot designer Catherine Martin’s newest textile and wallcovering collection for Mokum.

Beautiful glassware, garden pots, artificial flowers, vases, candles, sheepskin rugs and bedside lamps sit alongside clocks, bar stools, roller blinds and bookshelves. Queenstown artists’ prints feature on the walls alongside New Zealand prints and a distinctive range of mirrors.

Peak Interiors has a 30-year relationship with New Zealand design company French Country Collections.

 “We’re delighted to be part of Kath Evan’s new project and support her as a premium stockist in Central Otago”,” says French Country’s managing director Vanessa Bramley. “The full range is available in-store or via the Peak Interiors website, with no freight charges.”

The new showroom also displays drapery and upholstery fabrics, blinds, custom tables, barn doors and wardrobe options.

Peak Interior’s interior design division works with several well-known suppliers, with sampling available from companies such as Resene, James Dunlop and Belgotex Flooring.
