About Us
Meet Bungalow Home Studio
Led by Director Stephanie McKenzie, who is supported by an all-female team of experienced designers and stylists, Bungalow Home is a modern mecca for lovers of design.
Stepping into a bold new era, the business has evolved into a leading mult-facetted design house, encompassing residential interior and property styling, as well as the formation of BH Studios - a boutique showroom, studio hire destination and online store (coming very soon).
Bringing a fresh, contemporary take on the coastal aesthetic that is renowned across the Gold Coast locale, Bungalow Home’s signature style is represented by a love of clean silhouettes, considered simplicity, refined layers and texture, and an appreciation for the fusion of form and function.

Meet The Team
Stephanie McKenzie
Role at Bungalow Home: Owner / Director
Favourite part of your job: Creating and fostering a professional environment where my team feels inspired to grow and create beautiful spaces for our clients.
Describe your dream home aesthetic: Organic Modern with a refined minimalism - a style that values natural materials, quiet elegance and intentional layering. It features a carefully curated blend of stone, wood, textured plaster and mixed surfaces, layered with precision to add depth without visual noise. The overall feeling is one of serene simplicity - an environment that breathes, rather than shouts.
Coffee order: Small strong latte.
Hobbies/interests outside of work: Enjoying time with my three boys, Reformer Pilates, or unwinding with a glass of wine and a cheese board.
Candeece Blaikie
Role at Bungalow Home: Design Director
Favourite part of your job: Freedom to be creative and explore a wide range of design aesthetics. I love the challenge of pushing creative boundaries and crafting unique, personalised spaces that truly reflect each client’s story. Every project is an opportunity to evolve, experiment, and bring something original to life.
Describe your dream home aesthetic: A clean, neutral foundation that feels calm, timeless and effortlessly refined. I love layering a variety of natural materials - stones, textured finishes and mixed surfaces to create subtle visual interest and depth, whilst keeping the space open and uncluttered.
Coffee order: Skinny cap.
Hobbies/interests outside of work: I find balance in the simple rituals of daily life - early mornings are my favourite, often spent catching the sunrise with a walk or a coffee in hand and my doggo. Health and wellbeing are important to me, so I make time for regular gym sessions and staying active.

BH Studio
Client Testimonial
BH recently styled and furnished a luxury Noosa beach house for my client. We had a very specific brief—to steer clear of the typical beach house look and create something truly unique, worthy of media attention and design accolades.From the start, they completely understood our vision. Their creative thinking, incredible eye for design, and ability to curate standout pieces made them a dream to work with. They brought the home to life in the most beautiful and unexpected way. Highly recommend!!!! - RM, Noosa
