The Mood in Manyana
On the NSW South Coast, the small seaside town of Manyana became the setting for one of FurnishX’s most streamlined installations to date. The mission was clear: transform a dated beach house into a stylish, guest-ready retreat in just one day.
After years of neutral holiday rentals lacking warmth or personality, this project embraced a fresh, coastal mood – light, airy, and filled with natural textures. The home now reflects its location perfectly: relaxed, bright, and connected to the ocean.
Property Owner, Manyana NSW
“It’s incredible how quickly it came together - by evening, it looked like a completely new home.”
The look you want. The furniture you own.
The Brief: Effortless Coastal Living
The design direction focused on creating a low-maintenance, short-stay retreat that would appeal to holiday guests without compromising on style.
Soft neutral palettes, light timber tones, and ocean-inspired blues formed the foundation of the look. Durable materials like linen, cotton, and rattan kept the aesthetic breezy and practical.
The goal was timelessness – a space that felt both coastal and contemporary, with textures and tones that would age gracefully across seasons of guests.
These shades thrive in natural light, glowing softly in QLD’s coastal homes and adding warmth to Sydney’s cooler interiors.
Used well, they evoke calm, elegance, and an understated femininity that works in both contemporary and heritage spaces.
The Planning Process
Behind every seamless install lies detailed preparation. Before a single box arrived, the FurnishX team carefully mapped out furniture placement and room flow, ensuring visual harmony between the living, dining, and bedroom zones.
Each piece was selected with intent – a balance of comfort, proportion, and tone – to create a sense of openness and connection.
Installation Day: Styled, Shot & Guest-Ready
The transformation unfolded in a single day. Furniture was delivered early morning, the team styled throughout, and by evening the property was photo-ready for listing.
Every detail – from layered cushions and artworks to subtle coastal décor – was considered. By sunset, the home felt instantly welcoming, polished, and guest-ready.
The Result: Calm, Coastal, and Inviting
The finished interior blends light timber, natural fibres, and oceanic tones for a relaxed yet refined coastal experience.
What was once an ordinary beach house is now a professionally curated holiday haven, perfectly aligned with FurnishX’s promise: beautiful interiors, created fast, and built to last.
