ABOUT MAISON WAIHEKE
A considered approach to interior styling and staging on Waiheke Island
Maison Waiheke is a boutique interiors and home staging studio creating calm, considered spaces for Waiheke Island homes. We bring an editorial eye to every project, balanced by a practical understanding of property, buyers and how presentation shapes perception. Rather than applying a generic look, we respond to each home’s architecture, setting and character, styling with restraint and intention. Our spaces feel elevated yet natural—layered enough to create emotion, but never over-styled or driven by trends.
We believe presentation shapes perception. Every Waiheke home deserves an approach as individual as the island itself—one that elevates a property without overwhelming it, helping people imagine how it could feel to live there. The result is a home that photographs beautifully, connects with its audience and still feels entirely its own.
What guides our work
Considered styling
Every piece is selected with purpose. We create layered, inviting interiors that complement the home rather than compete with it.
Market intelligence
Our editorial eye is grounded in an understanding of real estate, photography and buyer perception. Each decision is made with both beauty and the wider objective in mind.
Collaborative delivery
We work closely with homeowners, agents and photographers to make the process calm, flexible and seamless—from the initial direction through to installation.
CARLA ROBINSON
Meet our founder
Carla Robinson is the founder and creative director of Maison Waiheke. With more than 20 years of experience across fashion, events and brand communications, she brings a highly developed understanding of visual composition, creative direction and the influence of presentation.
After making Waiheke Island her home, Carla identified an opportunity for a more considered and individual approach to property styling—one informed by the character of the home, the island setting and the objectives of the property. She established Maison Waiheke to bring together her editorial perspective, commercial awareness and instinct for creating interiors that feel refined, relevant and authentic.
