About Fern
Fern Peters-Wilson is a Sydney based interior design and decoration studio working primarily in the residential sector. Established in 2023, the studio focuses on kitchen + bathroom design, specification of interior colour and finishes and the curation, procurement and styling of furniture, art, soft furnishings and objects to create your unique home.
Throughout my extensive 20-year career in Interiors & Styling, I've had the amazing opportunity, to source furniture, art, and homewares to style over 100 homes. Gaining invaluable knowledge of what works and what doesn't when it comes to creating beautiful interior spaces.
But where did it all begin?
Born and bred in Wellington, the cool and windy capital of New Zealand, it was a childhood filled with ever changing, colourful bedroom makeovers courtesy of my creative mum! While my Māori roots (Tūhoe & Te Arawa) are forever a grounding influence on me.
Completing a Bachelor of Design in Interiors in 2005 (eeekkk), then a few years spent working in an architectural studio, some teaching at design school, before bopping around the globe working and exploring. I now call Sydney home, a place I have I landed in 8 years ago, now, with the added challenge of a fun and awesome 2 year old.
Over the years, I have styled homes for some of Australia's largest home builders, including Rawson Homes, Sekisui House, Coral Homes, Metricon Homes and Burbank Homes amongst others.
I have also accompanied clients to world renowned furniture fairs in Canton, Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as, the coolest design shows in Australia. It's been an adventurous ride, to say the least!
All this experience has allowed me to build strong relationships with an extensive network of suppliers, including wholesale and trade-only sources, as well as local makers, artists and retailers. And of course, I’m always on the lookout for those cool, hidden haunts for vintage treasures, mid-century gems and one-of-a-kind antiques.
