NEUE BLVD was founded by Interior Architect Christie Turvey, inspired by her time working in London and her travels around the globe to create an exclusive, lifestyle e-boutique. Whilst living in London, Christie worked for high-profile UK interior designer firms such as Helen Green and Candy & Candy, contributing on a range of prestigious projects, including One Hyde Park Penthouse in Knightsbridge. This experience has undeniably informed Christie’s design ethos and NEUE BLVD’s indulgent offering, of which attention to detail, customisation and premium finishes are the cornerstone.

Who is Christie Turvey?
I recently sat down with her to discuss all this NEUE BLVD and life…

What was your inspiration behind starting NEUE BLVD?

A passion for interior design motivated me to start Neue Blvd. Having returned from the UK, where I had worked on several luxury residential projects, I was keen to continue working in the Design World. I had worked with these suppliers and looks before and wanted to bring them to my design savvy clients and customers in Australia.  

I always had a clear vision for the brand. I am a very focus direct person with my own sense of style. I wanted to bring this clarity to my brand and product range. The name Neue Blvd is a representation of my new brand. New in German is Neue, and Blvd to turn it into a designer street name for homewares and lifestyle.

Who has been your biggest role model / mentor?

I am very lucky to have had lots of great mentors during my life, but none more so than my parents. They were always passionate about working hard, and I have learnt a lot from them.

NEUE BLVD is a unique style, how would you describe it?

Fresh yet classically styled personality, where metallic finishes, muted palettes and an opulent aesthetic reign supreme. 

Can you give us 3 key styling tips when styling a space?

I love designing with monochrome.  Black and white works particularly well with metallic finishes such as brass and bronze.  It gives a real high fashion feel.

I love layering and the use of natural and exotic materials such as leather and shagreen, sourced from near and far.  It’s also an easy way to add and change colour to a room as the different seasons come and go.

 Decorate with mirrors.  Especially if you are working with a small space, mirrors create the illusion of more space and instantly add a touch of glamour.  Opt for an oversized mirror leaning against a wall for that instant New York studio vibe.

 What’s next for NEUE BLVD?

We are launching some new collections and colourways as well as some exciting new promotions!!! Watch this space!
