Samantha Tuuta

I’ve always had a passion for design, but my journey within the industry began back in 2015 when I studied interior design in Sydney at The Interior Design Institute. After honing my skills, I relocated back to Christchurch where I landed a coveted position with iconic interiors brand Belle Interiors. During my time with Belle I was fortunate enough to be mentored by Colin Foggo, a well renowned New Zealand Interior Designer. Under Colin's guidance I acquired knowledge and experience about space, proportion, scale, colour, texture and lighting. I also developed the skill to design bespoke furniture and soft furnishings utilising local manufacturers and suppliers.

2021 saw the birth of Tuuta Home and Design. Here, we specialise in interior decoration and also have the scope to be involved with projects from the architectural planning stage working alongside architects, builders and joiners through to the decorators at the completion of new builds or renovations.

With an eye for details, form and function, I love to work in close consultation with you as the client to create a space that is a true reflection of your personal taste and lifestyle. My passion is to help you envision your dream home and bring it to life – we bring to the table a clear vision, ingenuity and timeless style that will suit your lifestyle, and your budget.
