Our Story

Welcome to Belhams Interiors. I’m Belinda Brown.

I am an interior designer, accountant and project manager as well as ……… a full-time wife, mother and family diary co-ordinator!

Belhams Interiors was established in 2004 while I was based in Jakarta, Indonesia, following the opportunities my husband’s oil and gas career offered us.

I spent 4 years working on a range of residential and commercial projects in Indonesia creating residential villa and apartment show homes, and working with owners to decorate the homes they purchased off-plan. I also created and implemented unique décor for villas, spas and boutique hotels in Bali and The Maldives.

A move to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the arrival of two children meant working full time in the design industry didn’t suit our family needs and values at that time.

Continuous requests from neighbours and friends to help them make their rented houses and apartments into homes, led me to work back in an industry I love. Helping Expatriates unload their containers and arrange their lives into their new home became my calling card.

You see, it doesn’t matter where you live ……… it’s the home you create that matters.

Our choice to move back to New Zealand in 2016, with both children at school full time, has enabled me to re-enter the NZ interior design industry. New Plymouth, Taranaki, is our new ‘home’ of choice. This ‘edgy’ city and its wonderful people have welcomed us with open arms. We are very grateful.

I look forward to meeting you soon.
