our story

Hello, lovely souls! I’m Nikki, the proud owner and curator behind by the sea homewares (BTS), a cosy haven nestled in the heart of Perth’s picturesque City Beach. With the gentle whispers of the sea as my backdrop and the endless blue horizon inspiring my soul, I embarked on this beautiful journey of bringing coastal charm right to your doorstop.

I grew up in a house of all girls (and Dad) and a mother who was and still is the true meaning of the term “Domestic Goddess”. My mum can make a vegemite sandwich seem amazing and carefully curated. We always had beautiful tableware, fresh flowers, music softly playing in the background and of course amazing food. Our house was always beautifully decorated, and my parents took great pride in making our house a welcoming home, one that all my friends wanted to hang out at! Consequently, my sisters and I all have a love of decorating and entertaining.

My happy place is when I have fresh flowers on my kitchen bench a beautiful, scented candle burning, plumped cushions on my sofa, music playing, the smell of the ocean wafting in the window and a gorgeous coffee table book beckoning me and my cosy knitted throw! I have always loved the art of curating spaces to tell a story. At BTS, each item is handpicked with love and intention, reflecting the timeless beauty and tranquillity of coastal living. Whether it’s a handcrafted ceramic vase that evokes memories of sandy shores or a soft linen throw that whispers tales of lazy beachside afternoons, every piece in our collection is a testament to the simple joys of life by the sea.

What sets us apart is our commitment to quality sustainability, and authenticity. I believe that a home should be a sanctuary, a reflection of ones’ journey, passions, and dreams. That’s why I take immense pride in offering a curated range of homewares that not only beautify your space but also resonate with your heart.

For me it’s not just about the products its about the experience, at BTS we have created a warm welcoming atmosphere where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, even if just for a moment. Whether you are revamping your entire home or simply seeking a little something to brighten a corner, I’m here to guide, inspire and share the joy of creating a space that feels uniquely yours.

So, whether you have planned a trip to my store or just walked in straight off the beach sandy toed with your fur baby, I say welcome and thank you for letting me be a part of your homewares journey. Here’s to many more years of coastal-inspired living, one beautiful piece at a time!

Warmly,

Nikki
