How I Styled Siren’s Keep: Coastal Vintage Apartment Tour

When I dreamed up Siren’s Keep, I wanted to create more than just a holiday rental – I wanted a space that felt like a story waiting to be lived in. Here’s a peek into how I styled this two-bedroom Coolum Beach apartment to make it feel warm, nostalgic, and just a little bit magical.

The Vision

I’m Sara – a local photographer and interior stylist with a soft spot for character-filled spaces. My vision for Siren’s Keep was to create a top-floor apartment that felt like a secret lookout. A place where you could exhale, sleep in, and watch the light change over the ocean.

Coastal Vintage Styling

I sourced vintage furniture, warm timber textures, and natural linens to create a space that feels lived-in, not staged. Each room has a mix of old and new – a little coastal, a little nostalgic.

My Favourite Spaces

• The Balcony: The perfect place for morning coffee or evening wine, with sea breezes rolling through.

• The Bedrooms: Soft bedding, warm lighting, and little touches that make you want to slow down.

• The Lounge: A cozy, light-filled spot with books, art, and music for a slow afternoon.

Thoughtful Details

From handwritten welcome notes to locally sourced artwork, every detail was chosen to make guests feel cared for. I wanted it to feel like staying with a friend – someone who left the record player on and the wine glasses ready.
