About me...
Hi! I'm Pip Karl and I started McKenzie House in 2012 to offer excellent quality, NZ made interior furnishings online.
I am an independent furnishings specialist and interior stylist. After more than 20 years as a designer, specifier and maker in the interiors industry I have the knowledge, expertise and industry connections to be able to help you create the furnishings you really want.
I love supporting the amazing skill and expertise that we have here in Aotearoa NZ so I only use local workrooms and manufacturers. My team of talented makers and I are ready to turn your ideas into reality.
I look forward to working with you!

Loving the sheer look?
It suits our casual Kiwi lifestyle and can be used in modern or traditional homes alike.
Particularly suited to homes with large windows and doors, the light, easy look of sheer curtains has become even more popular in recent years.
Sheer curtains can be used in a variety of ways - to add softness and daytime privacy over blockout roller blinds, on a double track with a separate lining behind - or simply on their own.
Sheer fabrics come in a vast array of textures, shades and patterns. If you like this look browse through the options below.
Love linen?
So do I!
One of the most environmentally-friendly fabrics available, linen is simply stunning.
Available in a huge range of colours and designs, there is a linen to suit every situation.
Browse through the linens in the shop to find the perfect one for your project.
Looking for children's fabrics?
Many of the customers I've worked with over the years have been either setting up a nursery for the arrival of their new baby or redecorating a room for an older child.
Whether you're looking for a fabric for your newborn or your ten year old, you'll find plenty of options in the McKenzie House fabric shop.
