IMPRINT HOUSE SHOWROOM TOUR

One year ago, we opened our doors and welcomed you to our Byron Bay Showroom,  igniting a dream to craft beautiful homes filled with creativity and unique, handcrafted pieces.

This journey has been a tapestry of inspiration, woven together by your unwavering support. Thank you for being a part of our story — here’s to many more chapters filled with community, beauty and joy! 


My story is… I founded Imprint House more than 8 years ago with the idea to help simplify the art of creating a beautiful home. Since then the business has grown beyond my wildest dreams and about 2 years ago we started the search for a space where we could showcase our wares. There’s nothing quite like the experience of touching and feeling objects in person. Designing the showroom was an opportunity to bring the values of Imprint House to life — beauty, simplicity, timelessness.

What inspired the design of the Imprint House? Every design project begins with a focus on emotion — creating a specific feeling within a space. For this project, I wanted to evoke a sense of tranquillity while transporting anyone who stepped into the showroom.

The building, originally a typical industrial unit with a concrete frame and carpeted mezzanine, needed a complete transformation. I wanted to create a memorable experience that starts the moment you arrive. The vestibule, framed by a row of salvaged doors, pays homage to traditional department stores, where two sets of doors invite you into a more expansive, cavernous space.

From the entrance, the large arched windows and signage are visible and a door below leads to the operations part of the business. We get asked a lot of questions about what is behind the double doors. This is where the magic happens!

The design softens the industrial elements with elements such as a curved staircase, and arched doors and windows. Upstairs, I transformed the mezzanine, replacing the worn carpet with French-lay travertine, and designed a custom kitchen that elevates the space thanks to its warm timber tones and marble countertop, as well as travertine sink.

Behind closed glass doors is another area that intrigues: the design studio for Natalie Walton Design. This space features a floor-to-ceiling cork wall for pinning inspirational images. Cork sheeting is also on the ceiling and cork tiles on the floor, to dampen sound between the two levels.

Designing this space was creatively challenging and incredibly rewarding, and has become a beautiful space for both work and showcasing our product range. Every piece is displayed as it would be in a home, from the Cloud Linen Pendants and Kōyō Shelving Unit to the Tadelakt Pendants that illuminate the kitchen.

What do you love about your work? I love creative challenges! I love seeing ideas come to life. I love helping others see the beauty in simplicity.

What does simple living mean to you? For me, simple living is about focusing on what’s most important. In a time when we are bombarded with imagery and information all day long it’s easy to lose our way and get distracted from what we truly value. As Leonard Koren says so eloquently, it’s about paring down to the essence without losing the poetry.
If you have free morning how do you spend it? If it was all to myself (a rarity with four children), I’d go for a beach walk, read a book, and enjoy a good meal in a beautiful location.

What are three words that describe you best? Thoughtful, kind and determined. The first two are values I try to live by, and the third is ingrained.

What book can you recommend? I recently finished the book Unreasonable Hospitality and I loved the idea of considering the ways (big and small) that we can help make someone else’s day a little better and brighter.
