GEORGIE LECKEY
‘Heatherly Design’ bespoke bedheads are created through an obsession with beautiful interiors fabrics for one-of-a-kind bedrooms.
You may long for a time when you can once again sleep in a bed someone else has made but for now, Georgie Leckey shows us how to slumber in style at home. Leckey, Melbournebased ‘bedhead queen’, creates some of Australia’s most swoon-worthy bedrooms. Her distinctive passion for pattern, and talent for elevating our sleeping spaces, sets her apart in both her residential and ‘stately’ projects. They include working with interior directors at Admiralty House in Sydney – where Meghan and Harry stayed. heatherlydesign.com.au
Favourite hotel bedroom?
Crosby Sreet Hotel New York (a Kit Kemp designed Firmdale Hotel). Simply breathtaking soft furnishings, floral arrangements and décor.
Bedroom luxury?
Sleeping in pure linen sheets. It is a little luxury that breathes in summer, warms in winter, and is beautiful against the skin.
Lounging look?
Always silk pyjamas.
Online ‘interiors’ find?
@nouvelle_nomad has the most incredible collection of vintage and ‘hard to find’ Moroccan rugs. I just purchased one. I’m in love, it’s more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.
Hotel-worthy sleeping space?
Upholstered bedhead; a well-chosen textile covering can freshen the entire room, and they are perfect to rest against when reading. Always opt for a dimmer switch on lighting, bright for those ‘I’ve lost an earring moments’, and subdued for restful moments. A footstool (if space allows) at the end of the bed looks chic and is uber-handy. Sit while you pop on your shoes, use as a clothes rest, or a ‘stepping stone’ for our Jack Russell to jump onto his spot on the bed!
“I worked in interior design before meeting my farmer husband (on a plane coming back from England). Heatherly Design was launched 13 years ago, after girlfriends kept requesting my bedheads.”
