Thank you for the Magic 2023!

As we bid farewell to the wonderful of 2023, I wanted to share my deepest gratitude & love to our phenomenal clients, suppliers, artisans, trades & our remarkable team. Your unwavering support, trust & creativity have been such an important part of our journey, so we say a massive thank you.

Embracing Change

This year was a whirlwind of change! From new projects & partnerships to relocating studios & venturing into Singapore, exploring the rich tapestry of Asia’s artisans, we’re excited for what 2024 holds. Your continued support means the world & we hope to enrich your lives a little with our discoveries.

8 Years of Hills & West Lifestyle Accessories

After eight remarkable years of championing Australian artisans, we’ve hit pause on our new collections to focus on @hillsandwestinteriors. Your overwhelming support in our sale nearly sold out all our stock! We’re grateful & will continue with creating small handmade batches of our best sellers (email us hello@hillsandwest.com to join the waitlist) & by staying true to our passion for supporting local talent, especially with our interiors business.

Hills & West Interiors

Our journey in Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast & now Singapore has been incredible. We’re on a quest for unique, quality-crafted, multifunctional products that bring your spaces to life. We are delving deeper into longlife, recycled, repurposed & adaptive furniture for 2024. Enhancing how people live, work & connect is our passion & we have exciting partnerships & opportunities unfolding in the new year.

2024: Being Better

In reflecting on last year’s focus of ‘Adventure,’ I feel incredibly fortunate to have had a year filled with new experiences, travels & discoveries. Life has taught me the invaluable lesson of cherishing every moment that we experience & to have an open mind & arms to new opportunities.

So, my focus for this year is clear: to strive for improvement. I aim to better not only my own fam’s daily life but also the experiences of my clients & partnerships. Most importantly, I commit to nurturing our environment. This year, I’m dedicated to seeking innovative solutions, more durable, versatile & sustainable products, forging partnerships with mindful suppliers & guiding my clients towards better choices. It’s about reducing our environmental impact while fostering kindness & connections.

Let’s strive for another exceptional year, built on gratitude & a firm commitment to creating positive change.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous festive season filled with love, laughter & yummy food.

Here’s to sharing more Hills & West magic with you in 2024.Big love,

Embracing Change: Hills & West Interiors’ Singapore Journey

Ten months ago, an unexpected shift beckoned my husband across the globe, swapping the bustling streets of Sydney for the vibrant energy of Singapore. Initially, the plan was for me to shuttle back and forth, but somehow my husband seemed to miss me, let’s be honest, our beloved pup, thus, it didn’t take long for the decision to relocate both our lives, and consequently, Hills & West Interiors, to Singapore.

Ultimately the move totally resonates with our lust for new adventures and opens up all the exciting opportunities that Singapore and Asia hold. A fusion of cultures, a hub of innovation, and a vibrant canvas for food and island exploration await us.

Now settled in and with “Hills & West Interiors Singapore” all registered and ready to go, I’m very eager to collaborate with new artisans and furniture makers, with a huge focus on seeking the intersection where innovation and sustainability converge in furniture design. Exploring ways to extend the life of discarded pieces, upcycling, recycling, revamping and reusing, all to minimise our impact on the earth. Something I have been very passionate about for years now. Just think back to my Hills & West bag collection in 2019, upcycling offcuts for my Crescent Clutches collection and in 2021 my A-Tote Collection made from apple’s by products that would usually go to landfill.

Our journey in Singapore is about enriching lives – whether it’s helping newcomers settle into their homes (just like us) or enhancing the essence of existing spaces. The people I’ve met here have been nothing short of inspiring, contributing to a tapestry of opportunities and crafting beautiful, purposeful pieces.

While venturing into new territories, rest assured that our roots in Australia remain strong. Jana’s nurturing hand in Melbourne, overseeing exciting home renovation projects, and Bec’s meticulous care in Brisbane and the Gold Coast reaffirms our commitment to excellence.

For those in Sydney, fret not! I’ll be returning every three months, ensuring our clients continue to experience the magic we weave into their homes. Our fab team back in Sydney is geared up to bring your dreams to life. Moreover, this exchange of insights between Singapore and Australia is set to elevate our craft even further. We’re excited to infuse the Hills & West magic into homes across borders, amalgamating the best of both worlds.

So, let’s set sail into 2024, brimming with anticipation and zest. Stay tuned as we embark on this joyous journey, spreading Hills & West magic to enrich homes and hearts.

Big love
