Green Door Decor began in 2015, but the love behind it started much earlier.

I grew up around beautiful, time-worn pieces — the kind with character, history and a story to tell. My parents were collectors, and Dad has a long history of restoring vintage vehicles and discovering interesting finds for our home, so weekends often meant being taken along to antique shops, auctions and treasure hunts.

At the time, I probably didn’t realise it, but those years shaped the way I see a home now: not as something that needs to look perfect, but as a space that should feel personal, layered, welcoming and lived in.

Later, life took me overseas to England and Germany, where I was inspired by the different ways people create beauty in their homes and everyday lives. That only deepened my love of interiors, collecting and the special feeling that comes from surrounding yourself with things you genuinely love.

What started as a small online business and five years of travelling to markets with my husband gradually grew into something much bigger. In 2020, Green Door Decor opened its bricks-and-mortar store in Mount Gambier, South Australia — and it has continued to evolve ever since.

Today, Green Door Decor is a carefully curated mix of art, homewares, fashion, gifts and special finds by mostly Australian makers, artists and designers, along with a small selection of beautiful gift lines from overseas brands we adore. I love discovering items that are colourful, thoughtful, interesting and full of personality, and bringing them together in one place for others to enjoy.

More than anything, I want Green Door Decor to help people create homes that feel like theirs. Not over-styled. Not overthought. Just warm, expressive, collected and full of charm. Sometimes it’s the artwork that makes you smile, the wallpaper you can’t stop looking at, or the little vase or dish on a shelf that somehow makes a room feel more like home.

That’s what I love most — helping people find those treasures.

Whether you visit us in store or online, I’m so glad you’re here.

Cheerio,
Annie xx
