Cornish Gems Interiors: Expert exclusivity
Cornish Gems Interiors: Expert exclusivity
Every detail has a reason. Within the world of Cornish Gems Interiors, design is never decoration for decoration’s sake – it’s storytelling through texture, tone and light. Expert exclusivity is about refinement over abundance; a quiet confidence that whispers rather than shouts. This is where every cushion, curve and colour palette serves a purpose – to enhance your sense of calm, connection and belonging. It’s not about more. It’s about better.
Spaces that soothe
Our surroundings shape how we feel. Calming interiors have a tangible impact on our mental wellbeing, helping to still the noise of modern life. Natural light, layered neutrals, tactile materials: each element invites a slower rhythm, a deeper breath. Cornish Gems Interiors curate sanctuaries designed for restoration. Every home we design balances sophistication with serenity, echoing Cornwall’s landscapes through tone and texture.
Case Study #1: Bosulla
Suspended above Port Navas Creek, Bosulla embodies the balance between strength and stillness – a home that feels both rooted and weightless. Designed for a globe-trotting owner with Cornish roots, Cornish Gems Interiors crafted a sanctuary that fuses international sophistication with local soul.
Moody tones transition into light-filled spaces; sculptural forms meet soft textures. In the sociable kitchen, a Teppanyaki grill bar invites connection, while Venetian plaster, marble and bespoke furniture reflect craftsmanship at its finest.
Every space celebrates calm and clarity. Five serene bedrooms echo the colours of the coastline, from sea blues to slate greys, while panoramic glazing draws the landscape into every moment. Wander through the wooded glade to a private pontoon and you’ll feel it – that rare sense of release. At Bosulla, luxury isn’t loud; it’s the quiet art of balance.



Case Study #2: Rockabye
Nestled along peaceful country lanes near Padstow, Rockabye is a beautifully restored barn where countryside calm meets coastal vibrancy. Reimagined by Cornish Gems Interiors, it captures the essence of Cornwall’s north coast – bold and deeply connected to nature.
Light floods the open-plan living space, where walnut herringbone floors, sculptural lighting and a dual-aspect fireplace create warmth and flow. A deep green kitchen and reclaimed-beam feature embody artisan craftsmanship, while textural fabrics and natural tones bring the landscape indoors. Seven elegant bedrooms, including a private annexe, pair luxury with ease.
Part of our Eco-Conscious Collection, Rockabye proves that luxury and sustainability can live in perfect harmony – a home that feels both restorative and alive.



Case Study #3: Shangri La
Perched above the cliffs of St Agnes, Shangri La is a love letter to both Cornwall and the Far East – a serene, eco-conscious retreat inspired by the owners’ years in Asia and their fondness for the iconic Shangri-La hotels. Reimagined by Cornish Gems Interiors, this home captures that same sense of tranquil luxury, fusing coastal rawness with refined calm.
Soft greens and sea-washed neutrals mirror the everchanging tones of the Atlantic, while natural textures bring the outside in. The open-plan kitchen and dining space sets the scene for long, laughter-filled evenings, while the upstairs living area opens to sweeping ocean views. Four en-suite bedrooms each tell their own story through bold textiles, playful patterns and layered tones that reflect Cornwall’s diverse palette.
Outside, rewilded gardens, a sea-view hot tub and an outdoor kitchen invite moments of connection with the landscape. Thoughtfully designed and built with the environment in mind, Shangri La embodies the art of slow living – a home that lets you breathe with the rhythm of the coast.



Case Study #4: Tresawle
Tresawle is a celebration of light, landscape and coastal calm. Designed to frame the drama of the Lizard Peninsula, this architecturally striking home has been transformed by Cornish Gems Interiors into a soothing retreat where sea, sky and interior flow as one.
Double-height glazing captures panoramic views across the Atlantic, from Bumble Rock to Lizard Lighthouse, filling the open-plan living spaces with shifting light and energy. A soft, contemporary palette inspired by seafoam and slate brings balance and serenity, while natural textures add warmth to the modern lines.
Five serene bedrooms offer sea views from every angle, each designed for rest and renewal. Beyond the interiors, expansive lawns and a private gate lead directly to the South West Coast Path, where adventure begins at your doorstep. From sunrise yoga to sunset suppers, Tresawle invites guests to live by the rhythm of the tides.



Case Study #5: Farrar Cottage
Once left derelict for over 25 years, Farrar Cottage has been lovingly brought back to life – a true labour of heart. Nestled in the quiet coastal village of Pendeen, this historic mining cottage has been completely restored by Cornish Gems Interiors, transforming a forgotten relic into a soulful sanctuary on Cornwall’s wild western edge.
Inside, the open-plan living space glows with warmth – teal tones, botanical prints and natural textures pay homage to the surrounding landscape. A woodburner anchors the room, inviting long, easy evenings shared over home-cooked meals. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms extend into the eaves, blending heritage charm with contemporary comfort.
Every detail tells a story of renewal and care, from the playful design flourishes to the views stretching toward the sea. With its tranquil garden and cosy drinks den, Farrar Cottage embodies slow, restorative living.
