Gold Coast's leading interior styling & design consultancy
Bungalow Interiors was founded on the Gold Coast in 2014, by visionary principal and lead Interior Designer Kristin Gilford. Kristin combined her personal passion with an Interior Design degree, subsequently forging a successful career with some of Australia's leading interior styling and design houses. Extensive international travel and regular self-hosted sourcing tours to richly exotic destinations, a close relationship with leading artisans both here and abroad, and an indomitable eye for identifying exceptional craftsmanship, shape a brand vision and style that epitomizes timeless elegance - 'barefoot luxury and elevated coastal'.
Bungalow Interiors was born of proven industry experience, an innate and natural sense of spatial and interior design, coupled with a driving desire to craft beautiful and timeless living spaces with layers of tactile elements encompassing flooring, wall coverings, lighting, furnishings and decor.
An eclectic portfolio of projects throughout Australia, including luxurious family residences and beachside holiday homes, to gentleman's retreats, super yachts, expansive farm houses and city apartments reflect Kristin’s fluidity and solutions-driven approach.
Kristin believes that your home should reflect your own style while also serving as a functional haven. Her approach is to nurture her client’s ideas and guide them through the ever changing landscape of interior design trends, to collate and arrange a theme that both echoes the Bungalow brand identity while remaining true to the client’s personality and practical needs.

Client Reviews

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.
Kristy & Bruno, Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast

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.
Karen, Labrador Gold Coast

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.
Sally & John, Main Beach Gold Coast

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!

I am delighted to recommend Bungalow Interiors for their interior styling services. Kris’s expertise particularly with window dressing,wall covering and tying spaces together in one consistent theme, is second to none. We have used Bungalow Interiors for 3 properties and one yacht and would not hesitate to use them again. Kris and her team are very professional, friendly and caring.
Julie, Runaway Bay, Gold Coast

Bungalow Interior is the go-to interior design company for companies wanting to elevate their corporate workspaces of all sizes and types. We undertook a sophisticated rebrand of our business, refurbing 9 business interior spaces across QLD, NSW and VIC. It was incredibly important to us to create a brand that was modern and welcoming, and it all came together because of skills and expertise of Kristen and Mandy. They listened to us, made great quality suggestions and did everything humanly possible to help us get things across the line during the pandemic’s logistical challenges! A wonderful Australian owned and operated business to deal with. Highly recommended.

Thank you for helping me design and furnish my forever home. From the colour choices, textured tiles and stone right through to the lighting, artwork and furniture there isn't anything i am not wowed about. You took the time to understand the look and style i hoped to achieve when we first drew plans and u patiently worked with me right through to the end. I couldn't have done it without you. Amazing texture everywhere. I look forward to continuing to shop in your amazing shop and I hope you don't mind if I continue to add some photos to your site so other people can see your beautiful designs and choices. Forever grateful.
Suzie, Sovereign Island Gold Coast

We had the pleasure of working with the team from Bungalow Interiors for the interior design and finishing schedule for our new boat. We can't recommend them highly enough! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and keen eye for detail transformed our boat into a classy motor yacht. They were attuned to our style preferences while offering innovative ideas that we would never have considered. The entire process was seamless, and I truly appreciated their ability to stay within budget without compromising on quality. Our new boat now reflects our personality and feels incredibly inviting, thanks to their expertise.
Love your work, Kris and Mandy!
