Lib & Lu is an online homewares store based in Wellington, New Zealand. We offer carefully curated pieces that bring character and beauty to your home.  

Meet Anna

Anna, the founder of Lib & Lu, discovered her passion for interiors while renovating various investment properties and designing her family’s home in Sydney.

This creative journey led her to study at Sydney Design School and later work at The Stables, a well-known and highly regarded interior design firm based in Sydney.

After returning to her roots in New Zealand, Anna started her own business Anna Johnston Design and saw a need for beautiful, unique homewares. 

This inspired her to create Lib & Lu, a name that holds special meaning as it is named after her two daughters, allowing her to share her love for beautiful homewares with others.

Now, Anna fully expresses her passion for home styling and design through her work with clients.

Our Philosophy

At Lib & Lu, we believe that your home should be your happy place – a space that brings you comfort, joy, and pride. Styling is our favourite part of the process; it’s incredibly rewarding to see how transforming a space can uplift our clients and make them fall in love with their homes all over again.  

Our mission is to curate beautiful, practical pieces that help you design a home where special memories are made with family and friends. Whether you're refreshing a single room or reimagining your whole space, we’re here to help you create something you’ll love for years to come.  

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Let’s create something beautiful together. x

  • Amanda & Mike | Heretaunga

    “Working with Anna was an absolute joy from start to finish. Anna really took the time to understand our style, our vision, our lifestyle, and gently guided me to keep me on the right path to translate our vision into reality. Annas professionalism, communication skills, creativity and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

    Anna has impeccable taste and a key eye for detail, things that I would easily miss. Anna exceeded my expectations and created a space that is not only stunning, but also functional for our family and welcoming to all. Anna was incredibly patient working on a project that spanned over a couple of years, much longer than anticipated.

    Every element, from the extensive detailed custom joinery design, the beautiful colour palette, through to the furniture choices and interior styling, was carefully curated to reflect our vision while maintaining a cohesive and elegant design.

    I receive endless compliments on our home, and a huge part of that is due to Annas expertise and talent. If you’re looking for an interior designer who truly listens, delivers exceptional results and brings your vision to life, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Annas creative genius and dedication to bring our vision to life. I would highly recommend Anna to any potential client..”

  • Renee & Dan | Heretaunga Two

    “When moving into our new home I was at a complete loss for what to do with our spaces. We had left behind a modern new build and moved into our character villa. Fastfoward to now and our home is more than I could ever have imagined, we are so content with every stylish space created. Anna takes the time to get to know you and your family to get an understanding of how we use our home. She listened to how we wanted our home to feel, and offered endless options and ideas. 

    We are so pleased with the end result and love every space. Anna you are amazing and I am looking forward to working with you again on our next project, thank you!.”

  • Danielle Wilson | Christchurch City

    “I was lucky enough to have been recommended Anna by my sister. I was setting up a new town house in central city Christchurch. I knew what I liked, but I just wasn’t quite sure how to put it all together. I was also on a tight budget to fit out a full 3 bedroom home.

    Living in a different island I wasn't quite sure how it would all work, but Anna was patient and knew what she needed to do to be able to offer furniture that fitted the space perfectly. All I needed was a tape measure and a trust the process attitude.

    She provided me with 2-3 options for each space and we created a blend of all of them to my taste with her guidance and recommendations! To say I was thrilled was a true understatement. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Anna again.”
