Meet Sarah — founder of Jellybean Interiors, mum to one very cute 13-month-old, and currently living that cross-country, coffee-fuelled, garden-loving kind of life 🌱

Sarah and her fiancé Zac are navigating family life (and family locations) between Melbourne and Perth while growing their dreamy kids’ interiors biz. Whether it’s a Bunnings run, a brewery hang, or a movie marathon on the couch, this little trio is all about soaking up the small moments — and making spaces that do the same.

How did Jellybean Interiors get started?

Honestly, it started with me just trying to make something beautiful when I couldn’t justify the price of kids’ table and chairs for my daughter. But looking back, it’s more than that—I wanted to create a sense of safety and comfort that I didn’t always have growing up. I guess it was my way of building something that says, “You’re safe. You belong.”

What’s your favourite thing about working on your business?

Seeing how our pieces become part of people’s everyday lives. When parents share photos of their kids playing or lounging on our furniture, it just hits differently. It’s like proof that we’re creating little pockets of joy in family homes.

Tell us about your ideal day out with your plus one.

For us, an ideal day is anything where we’re spending time together—quality time is our love language. If it’s a chilled-out morning, we’ll head to Avoka for their epic breakfast platter for two. It’s got a bit of everything, and our daughter usually gets in on the action too.

If we’re feeling a bit more adventurous (and can manage to look halfway decent), we’ll drive down the coast to Little Bay. The coffee there is seriously good—like Melbourne level—and the view over the water just makes it. We always take the extra 5-10 minutes to drive along the coast and soak in the scenery. There’s just something about being near the water that instantly chills us out.

We also love being outdoors and, in our garden, or honestly, even just a trip to Bunnings is a good time. As long as we’re together, it’s a good day.

What’s your go-to when you have a kid-free moment?

It’s the little things—I’ll grab a coffee, maybe call a girlfriend to check in, or just take a bit of time to look after myself. Sometimes it’s as simple as going and sitting outside or just having a quiet moment to recharge.
