WELCOME TO THE COSY NOTES

Hello! I’m Dominey, the face behind The Cosy Notes (and the one usually rearranging cushions for the hundredth time).

Before starting The Cosy Notes, I worked in homewares, design, and digital marketing for major homeware brands in Australia, alongside interior and editorial photography. Discovering and creating places that inspire joy and comfort is what sets my heart racing.

The Cosy Notes is my little corner of the internet where I share everything related to interiors, my latest design projects, and glimpses of life on New Zealand’s stunning Matakana Coast.

Around here, you’ll find:

  • Interiors with soul, boutique stays and house stories

  • Notes from coastal living

  • Behind-the-scenes glimpses of creative projects I’m working on

This blog is where I document it all, the styling experiments, the renovation decisions, the lessons learned, and plenty of inspiration along the way.

And occasionally, I also work with local homeowners and holiday rental owners on decorating, styling, and interior photography projects.

But mostly? This is a space for interior lovers, colour enthusiasts, and anyone who believes homes should feel warm, personal, and just a little bit magical - and who’s always on the lookout for the next cosy stay, charming town, or weekend adventure.

Welcome! Stay as long as you like.
