Gold Coast's leading interior styling & design consultancy

Our Story & Style

Bungalow Interiors was founded on the Gold Coast in 2014 by visionary principal and lead designer Kristin Gilford. Combining her lifelong passion for interiors with formal design training, Kristin built her early career working with some of Australia’s leading interior styling and design houses.

Extensive international travel, personally curated sourcing tours to richly diverse destinations, and close collaborations with talented artisans both in Australia and abroad have shaped Kristin’s refined design philosophy. Her signature style captures timeless elegance, blending barefoot luxury with elevated coastal living.

Bungalow Interiors was created from a foundation of proven experience, a natural understanding of spatial flow, and a deep desire to craft beautiful, enduring spaces layered with texture and thoughtful detail—from flooring and wall finishes to lighting, furnishings, and décor.

An eclectic portfolio spanning luxurious family residences, beachside holiday homes, superyachts, farmhouses, and city apartments reflects Kristin’s adaptable, solutions-driven approach. She believes every home should embody its owner’s unique personality while offering comfort, functionality, and ease.

Guided by collaboration, Kristin nurtures her clients’ ideas, distilling them into cohesive and timeless interiors that balance the Bungalow aesthetic with each client’s individuality and way of life.

Bungalow Home Interior Styling + Design Gold Coast with Uniqwa Collections bedroom furniture and Hale Mercantile Linen

The team at Bungalow Interiors transformed an interstate vacation home into a stunning masterpiece - all done remotely – site unseen! Kristen took the time to understand my taste, the practical requirements and put forward recommendations within my budget.  Her attention to detail and creative vision ensured everything was in harmony and the end result is truly magnificent.

In the background, Mandy worked tirelessly with contractors and suppliers to ensure the items arrived in perfect condition. She was meticulously organized and always kept me informed or answered any questions I had with swiftness and effectiveness. 

Engaging Bungalow Interiors was the best decision I made. Thank you so much for the hard work put forward by the team!

Customer Review Living room interior styling Sanctuary Cove Bungalow Interiors

Kristin and Mandy are the dynamic duo that make our dreams a reality.  Nothing is too complicated or impossible for them to reach the best outcome - always putting our family first.  Whether it is negotiating and liaising with Architects, Builders or Trades they are the best project management team to work on the client's behalf.  Kris always nails the design brief and guides us with 'somewhat gentle persuasion'.  She truly knows everything about renovations from fabric selection, measurements and finishes to roofing and flooring.  There is nothing she doesn't know and can't explain in simple terms.  We love working with Bungalow Interiors and will certainly be using them for all our projects.  Thank you Kris and Mandy, from our family to yours.

As world travellers, our home, our furnishings and our design ideas were a huge array of cultures and continents. We liked many styles and needed to find a way to make them work together. Enter the team from Bungalow Interior. Kristen was hugely valuable in helping us balance the spaces of our apartment in a warm, thoughtful and inviting style and recommended ideas we would never have come up with, on our own. Thank you, Kristen, Mandy, Mary and Maddison for sharing your wealth of local and international resources to source all of our various needs. Our apartment is far more functional and beautiful because of your collective help.

Thank you for an unbelievable result. Wow!!….is the only word that truly reflects our feelings. And when friends walk in and breathlessly use the same word you know something magical has been created. Thank you for identifying the exact atmosphere we wanted in every part of our new apartment both in and outdoor. You nailed it by focusing on a theme which was worldly, classy and harmonious and something that reflected our extensive global travelling. The result was breathtaking and bold….Huge Moroccan plants and pots, large Indian mirrors, soft white French furniture, beautiful rugs including a zebra one, artwork, ornaments and all in total harmony….Unbelievably! Thank you for the journey you took us on which was very professional, enjoyable and sooo exhilarating. Thank you again for the WOW you brought into our life.
