Behind Coastal Living Co: The Story of Our Candles & Designs

Some of the loveliest things in life are also the simplest.

A beautiful room filled with afternoon sunlight. Fresh flowers on the table. A favourite fragrance drifting through the house.

These are the everyday moments that inspire Coastal Living Co.

A Love of Beautiful Spaces

I've always loved the way a home can make you feel.

It doesn't need to be enormous, expensive or perfectly styled. Sometimes it's a comfortable chair, a beautiful fabric or a familiar fragrance that makes a space feel special.

Coastal Living Co reflects that appreciation for beautiful interiors, fragrance, creativity and the relaxed feeling of coastal living.

I wanted to create candles that felt just as lovely sitting on a shelf as they did when lit.

Inspired by the Australian Coast

Australia has an extraordinary natural landscape, from beautiful beaches and tropical gardens to eucalyptus forests and rugged bushland.

That sense of place inspires the Coastal Living Co collection.

There's the fresh, relaxed feeling of Coastal Breeze, the tropical character of Coconut & Lime and Tropical Frangipani, and the nature-inspired appeal of Australian Bush.

Other fragrances, including Watermelon and Spiced Pear, bring their own personalities to the collection.

Each one offers a different way to create atmosphere at home.

Designed to Be Part of Your Home

I believe the appearance of a candle matters almost as much as the fragrance.

Our white candle vessels, natural wooden lids and botanical-inspired labels create a collection that feels fresh, understated and easy to style.

The different label colours give each fragrance its own identity while keeping the collection beautifully coordinated.

Whether placed on a bedside table, bathroom shelf or living room console, the candles are designed to complement your surroundings.

From Fragrance to Fabric

My love of creating doesn't stop at candles.

I also design original fabric patterns, taking inspiration from the colours, textures and botanical details of the natural world.

I particularly enjoy the process of turning an idea into a repeating pattern — experimenting with illustrations, coordinating colours and imagining how a design might look on cushions, table linens or other beautiful things for the home.

For me, fragrance and fabric design are connected. Both are ways of bringing personality, atmosphere and a sense of place into our surroundings.

A candle can change how a room feels. A beautiful textile can change how it looks. Together, they help create a home that feels personal and inviting.

It's this combination of creativity, fragrance and design that I hope to share through Coastal Living Co and The Coastal Journal.

The Pleasure of Making Something

One of the things I enjoy most about creating products is seeing an idea become something real.

Choosing fragrances, developing the collection, working with colours and labels, creating original illustrations and photographing the finished pieces are all part of that process.

It's a combination of creativity, practical work and plenty of small decisions.

And there is something particularly satisfying about seeing a finished candle or fabric design ready to become part of someone's home.
