About

I have always been a lover of home design and creating beautiful spaces from natural and found objects.

Hello

Jodie James, founder of Saltwater Home Styling, stands in a beautifully styled coastal living room on the Sunshine Coast. She’s arranging cushions on a linen sofa, with natural light streaming through sheer curtains. The space features soft neutral tones, textured throws, and beach-inspired décor, reflecting her relaxed, elegant approach to property styling.

My name is Jodie James! I am the Owner and Head Stylist at Saltwater Home Styling.

I am a Sunshine Coast Local who loves the coast lifestyle. My aim is to create spaces that play on our relaxed coast living and make you feel like everyday is a ‘holiday at home’.

I have always been a lover of home design and creating beautiful spaces from natural and found objects. With a long history in renovations, and as a Financial Planner in a past life, I have a well rounded knowledge of not only design but I also understand the numbers involved. Property staging is an investment in one of our most valuable assets.

Our aim at Saltwater is to create beautiful spaces in your home. Creating interest and presenting a space in the most appealing and practical way possible.

We work with homeowners, investors, real estate agents and property developers.
