our story & approach

Meet Steph — founder and principal stylist at Arlen Interiors. With a passion for elevated coastal design and a knack for balancing beauty with everyday function, she transforms homes and workspaces into warm, soulful sanctuaries that are both stylish and genuinely lived-in.

Arlen Interiors helps Australian homeowners and businesses create interiors that reflect their personality and lifestyle, with thoughtful styling, curated decor, and stress-free project management. From selecting furniture and finishes to styling every corner with care, Arlen Interiors guides the process from concept to completion so each space feels uniquely yours.

The philosophy is simple: spaces should be both elevated and inviting. Arlen Interiors blends luxe coastal-inspired styling with warmth, texture, and practicality, creating interiors that feel curated, timeless, and truly lived-in. Every project is an opportunity to tell a story, your story, through thoughtful design.

Arlen Interiors began in 2021 during Steph’s maternity leave, proof that creativity doesn’t wait. Surrounded by the everyday rhythms of family life, she realised that real comfort comes from spaces that feel well‑curated and authentic. That moment became the inspiration for a business built on creating interiors that feel like home the moment you walk in.

◇ Steph, a proud graduate of The Design School, channeled her passion through her education, transforming it into the career of her dreams.

◇ Growing up, Steph was always mixing things up at home with her mum. Blending texture, tone, and thoughtful details long before interior styling became her career. That blend of lived‑in ease and aesthetic intention still defines every project she undertakes.

◇ At the heart of Arlen Interiors is a commitment to creating interiors that feel elevated yet effortless. We believe a beautifully styled space should be warm, functional, and soulful, infused with texture, calm energy, and that unmistakable coastal warmth. Whether it’s your everyday living space, a weekend retreat, or a dynamic workplace, we take the stress out of styling so your space feels truly yours.

◇ In 2023, our work was featured in Eat Live Escape Home magazine, and we’ve also been showcased in Etc Living, reinforcing our belief that thoughtful styling, grounded in comfort and refined taste, resonates beyond our immediate community.

◇ Plus, we caught the spotlight in an Interiors Addict blog feature!

Why ‘Arlen’?

The name Arlen holds a special place in our hearts, it was the name we chose for a potential son while expecting twins. After their arrival, that beloved name lived on in our passion project, a creative space where meaningful design meets everyday life. Arlen speaks to warmth, intention, and the comfort of home, just like the spaces we create.
