73 Carnarvon Street
Gisborne
Interior whizz Amy Moore converted a Gisborne plumbing workshop into a colourful furniture and homeware hub with a bohemian vibe.
Since 2019 Amy has poured her heart into interiors and hasn’t looked back. It started off by doing colour consultations for clients, then furnishings and layouts, and from there it snowballed. Now alongside the consulting, Amy started The WorkShop, a large furniture and homewares store in Carnarvon Street. You may also recognise Amy & Stu from their time on The Block 2018 and the following season in the old firehouse building. “Both were great experiences and taught me valuable lessons about spatial awareness and working to deadlines”.
The WorkShop specialises in furniture and homewares from all over the world, including bohemian-style items made by local artisans and vintage finds, like the Hawthorne Original’s range. “The WorkShop is definitely quirky and showcases items that aren’t in generic stores, such as large pieces of furniture and vintage rugs from Morocco. My vision in opening the shop was to do something a little different that wasn’t on offer in Gisborne. I want people to walk in and feel as though they are part of the world”.
