About Us

Bienvenue — and welcome to Villarosa Maison.

I'm Rosanna, and I've been hand-picking beautiful things for our Nelson boutique since 2008. What started as a passion for French country style and considered living has grown into one of New Zealand's most loved homeware and gift destinations — a place where you'll find pieces you won't see anywhere else, from makers and brands I genuinely believe in.

You'll find Bordallo Pinheiro's iconic Portuguese ceramics sitting alongside Emma Bridgewater's hand-decorated English pottery, La Rochère glassware from a French factory that's been blowing glass since 1475, Lumiz solar lanterns from the Netherlands, and jewellery from labels like A&C Oslo and Agape. Every single piece has been chosen because I love it — and I think you will too.

This is a store for people who care about their homes. Who understand that the right jug, the right bowl, the right piece of jewellery isn't a luxury — it's a small daily pleasure. Whether you visit us in person at 62 Montgomery Square in Nelson, or shop with us online from anywhere in New Zealand, I hope you find something here that makes you smile.

Have faith in your own sense of style. If you love it, you can make it work.
