text: So we always start with our hero piece! If I think about our Soul Barn, the antique doors are the hero of the space, the eye goes straight to them. I used The Dharma Door Mandala to follow the eye further through the space. We like to guide the guest’s journey in our space.
  I am a huge fan of the pitched ceilings - this has become our signature style. Teamed with the rattan pendants, I am in love!
  I also love how we have created different styles in each space. They have a cohesive feel, but also have their own personality. The farmhouse is more on the classic side, the barn has a boho influence, the cabana is plantation style and the cottage has the organic feel. Coming next: the Soul Beach House will have its own feel again.
  Definitely the fireplace. Everyone is in love with it - which is why it is even used in the heart of summer!
  The common thing that guests tell me is that they feel like they are staying in their own resort. They often plan restaurant bookings and local experiences, only to find that once they arrive they don’t want to leave and they cancel all the plans to just soak up the space!
  You have used items from The Dharma Door collection to great effect throughout the property’s three separate abodes - including the Mandala and Tala wall hangings, storage baskets, Kasba jute rug and Sunda jute floor runner. What was your intentions when making these selections, and how have you used them in each space?
  Before we even started the build I knew that I wanted to feature The Dharma Door pieces. As I said earlier, Soul is all about texture and that is what I love about The Dharma Door’s pieces.
  I selected the Jute Wall Hanging because it has such a dramatic effect as you enter the farmhouse hallway. It is the feature in the space, but it also works with the narrow farmhouse hallways. We have supplied guests with The Dharma Door’s woven totes in every guest room to take to the beach or to head up to the street to grab supplies. In the Soul Barn I selected the Kasba Jute Rug to lay against the dark floors; the contrast allows the rug to be the feature.
  With our latest property, I just love the rawness of the Tala Wall Hanging teamed with the Sunda Floor Runner. Nothing else was needed in this space, as these pieces are the heroes!
  Can I just say everything! Seriously, I love it all. If I have to pick one, it would be the jute wall hangings. I love the detail, the texture and the scale. It is timeless! And a practical favourite are the storage baskets. At Soul, we use them for anything from the firewood storage to housing the throws. At my home, I have an abundance of them for shoe storage, toys and pot plants!
  Why do you think natural, woven elements work so well at Soul of Gerringong? What draws you to using them generally?
  To me less is more. Working with natural elements is my go-to. It doesn't feel over powering, nor does it lack feeling. Here at Soul we have dark flooring, so the contrast of the natural fibres really pulls the whole look together.
  And finally, what is your key piece of advice for those decorating their home? You believe in keeping things timeless and personal, can you share a little more about this?
  I have a 70/20/10 rule that I follow for all my projects. This rule allows you to create your own unique style: work with 70% of one style, 20% of another and a final 10% layer to bring it all together.
  And my other piece of advice is to find your go-to thing and surround yourself with it. It is that thing that when you see it, it makes you smile & feel good. For me it is palm trees, for others it could be a colour, a type of material or an object. Once you know what it is, inject it into your space.
