The bedrooms at Aireys Inlet Bush House are all about creating a relaxed, calming atmosphere. We’ve used soft textiles and thoughtful patterns to bring a sense of warmth and comfort, while the muted colour palette ties everything together in a serene way. The aim was to create spaces that feel like a true retreat, with natural fabrics and textures that reflect the peacefulness of the surrounding bush. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure these rooms invite relaxation, while still feeling effortlessly stylish.

“Camilla is the reason why everyone who walks into our home says WOW over all the detail. She heard what I asked for & delivered above & beyond!”

The garden screens were thoughtfully designed to reflect the client’s New Zealand heritage, with a custom pattern that subtly incorporates elements of their cultural background. The design not only enhances the space aesthetically but also considers the local environment, with clearance beneath the screens allowing wildlife to roam freely. This blend of personal meaning and environmental sensitivity creates a harmonious connection between the garden and the surrounding nature, making it a space that’s both beautiful and functional.
