Restorative Luxury at 28 Degrees
We chat with owner and interior designer Deb Garske about the inspiration behind 28 Degrees and the special touches that make this adults-only sanctuary a space to rest and reset.

'I bought some pieces for personal use prior to opening the guesthouse and was so impressed by the quality. When the colour didn’t fade and it became so much softer with further use, that to me, signifies pure luxury.' - Deb Garske
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind 28 Degrees Byron Bay?
Whilst recovering from chemotherapy in 2015 after being granted only two weeks left to live, I decided I was going to move to Byron Bay, where I was married in 2005, to prioritise my health and wellbeing. We bought a quaint house in an ideal location, within walking distance from the beach and one block from town – perfect for our growing family. As part of my recovery, I wanted to build a respite that offered others the same nurturing experience and opportunity to heal.
28 Degrees was consciously created from my healing journey, which inspired every aspect of the design and build – even down to the suppliers chosen. Every element of the business was meticulously chosen to align with a healthy, sustainable space that would encourage guests to unplug and recharge away from the chaotic stress of everyday life.
Luxury Accommodation: @28degreesbyronbay
Can you share your favourite interior design selections for this property?
As an interior designer, I’m very tactile, so everything must feel beautiful and high-quality. That includes every detail of the property, from the floorboards you walk on and the $20,000 mattresses topped in Hale Mercantile bedding you sleep in, to the water you bathe in and consume, both filtered by a Grander water system. The Maker and Son sofas in each room add beautiful touches to the space.
The other feature that creates a relaxed ambience is the handmade pendant lights from New Zealand, which remind me of my childhood in Japan. Additionally, as we have a no-TV policy, we invite guests to lose themselves in a carefully curated selection of books.

What sets 28 Degrees Byron Bay apart from other luxury accommodations?
We have worked tirelessly to create a luxurious experience that spans beyond the cosmetics of the property. Every aspect of 28 Degrees encourages wellbeing, from the hand-poured natural beeswax candles in each room and the low-VOC, non-toxic paint to the organic, homemade parfait-style breakfast.
Being an adults-only property ensures guests can really unwind, and we advise each guest upon arrival that peace and privacy are our priorities. Each aspect is designed to slow you down, from the locally sourced Byron Moonshine slow-drip coffee to the Maker and Son sofa perfectly positioned under the hanging pendant light, providing the cosiest reading nook.
@28degreesbyronbay
What are your top recommendations for anyone planning an upcoming trip to Byron?
We recommend walking along the beach to the lighthouse, where you can see turtles and dolphins as well as golden sunrises and sunsets, and we encourage guests to take a complimentary bike and explore the surrounds like a local. As we are one block from town, we have the best cafes and restaurants on our doorstep, including the hatted restaurant, Beach. We suggest driving through the hinterland to visit quaint towns like Bangalow, Clunes and Federal, and we provide all guests with information on the best waterfalls to visit in the area.

What kind of experience can your guests expect from a stay at 28 Degrees?
Our guests experience absolute peace and privacy. Everything is curated for a restful stay and permits our guests to switch off, making the space perfect for those wanting romantic getaways or simply indulging in the space. We’ve chosen the bedding, including the mattresses, bedding sets and linen, to be top-range quality, as we believe the most rejuvenating getaways can only be built upon a foundation of deep, restful sleep.

Cohesive Living Room Design
Creating a space with an effortless flow isn't always as easy as it appears, however a few key considerations can go a long way in achieving a harmonious balance. From the colour scheme, furniture and floor coverings to accessories and artwork, we share some tips on bringing together a timeless look that feels inviting and connected.
Double Crush Throw in Moro/Floss
Starting with the colour scheme can help to inform the rest of the room, so think about whether you would like to go for a cool base or a warm base and build on those foundations. A wide spectrum of neutrals ranging from off-white to dove grey can provide an adaptable backdrop for furniture, rugs, curtains and accessories, setting the overall mood and allowing for tonal variations.

Mother's Day with Sarah-Jane from Huntress & Hound
For Sarah-Jane Mossop of interior design studio Huntress & Hound, Mother's Day means messy pancakes and meandering to the beach with her 17-month-old daughter Sunny. We chat with the creative director and first-time mum about the joys and surprises of motherhood and the importance of community.
What does your perfect Mother's Day look like?
As Mother’s Day falls on a Sunday – my favourite day of the week! We have a little Sunday morning ritual, and the morning usually unfolds to the tunes of Nina Simone and Etta James as we gather in the kitchen to whip up batches of banana pancakes, make a huge mess and then venture out onto the verandah to enjoy our coffee and breakfast. Later, we might meander down to the beach to take my other (fur) baby, Dennis, for a walk. A precious extra hour of slumber would make it a perfect day!
Sarah-Jane Mossop: @sarah.jane.sj of interior design studio: @huntress_and_hound I Photography: @stateofindianna_
What have been the most surprising parts of motherhood for you?
The most surprising aspect of motherhood for me has been tapping into the boundless reservoirs of inner strength and power that I never knew I possessed. It's awe-inspiring how resilient we, as women, truly are. Motherhood presents an ever-changing landscape to navigate; just when you think you're over one mountain, you are met with another! But we keep on going, and that resilience has been something I’ve always admired within my own mother and grandmother. Now that I'm here, experiencing it firsthand, I finally understand the depth of that strength and determination.

What do you love most about being a mum?
Her hot little breath tickling my neck when she falls asleep in my arms, the small hands and the way they feel in my hands, her joy and surprise at experiencing new things for the first time – “Oooo-wow” – and her little voice in the morning calling out to me. I also love how becoming a mother reminds you to be young again; to let your guard down and embrace the play, the mess and the silly. Every day, she brings so much innocent joy, and amidst all the chaos of life, there is this little golden pocket rocket screaming “Cracker Mumma” as she runs through the house wearing pants on her head! It's chaos, but I love it.
Sarah-Jane Mossop: @sarah.jane.sj of interior design studio: @huntress_and_hound I Photography: @stateofindianna_ Featured: Flocca Linen Duvet in Mare, Basix Panel Cushion in Mare/Bere, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Brun
What is the best advice you've received from a mother figure in your life?
My own mother always emphasised the importance of building quality connections and approaching life with empathy, and it's a piece of advice that resonates deeply with me. Even though she passed away when I was younger, her words have stuck with me. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming or isolating, having a support system is like a beacon of light guiding me through life's ups and downs. Whether it's friends who become like family, mentors who offer guidance, or even kind strangers who lend a listening ear, each person in my tribe enriches my life.

What is one of your favourite pieces from the HMCo collection, and why?
It’s a tough pick, but I’d have to say the Crush Linen Throw. I have one in Argent, and apart from being a beautiful piece to style any bedroom, I personally love it as it’s such a transitional piece. It follows us from the end of the bed to warm cuddles on the couch at the end of the day. The texture is so soft and adds an element of understated luxury – perfect for styling.

Beige Beauty
While beige may have a reputation for being bland, taking a fresh perspective on this diverse and adaptable colour spectrum can imbue classic style and sophistication to your space. Ranging from bright whites to warm, earthy hues, there's a shade to suit any interior scheme, and understanding the balance and variations will allow you to achieve a brilliant tonal blend or concept featuring a beautiful beige palette.
Interior: @ninamayainteriors I Photography: @smartanson I Published: @yellowtrace Featured: Flocca Linen Hand Towel in Sable
A key tip when building a beige interior scheme is to first choose your primary colour, which will usually be your wall colour. From here, work your way out into the rest of your space to set the tone and decide whether it will be lighter or darker than your primary hue of choice. Identify what resonates with you when choosing your scheme – the two predominant looks that most often utilise a beige colour palette are 'rustic' and 'refined'.
A rustic look includes a number of blended textural elements that tend to be earthy and organic in nature, for example limewash, timber grain and tactile fabrics such as linen and boucle wool. This look might also feature shades on the darker end of the spectrum such as buttery caramel and tan to add warmth and interest.
Interior: @stateofcraft I Photography: @studio_rochowski
A refined scheme leans towards a more light and sophisticated aesthetic, with polished or uniform finishes for a high-end, tranquil feel. Think velvet and stone or painted and lacquered surfaces, with colours from the lighter end of the spectrum such as fresh whites and creams complemented by cool marble and polished brass for modern accents.
Interior: @studio_cobe I Photography: @jack.lovel
The considered layering of textiles is important whether your look is rustic or refined, helping to soften the edges and providing subtle definition. Though your eye may not immediate identify it on entering a room, a subtle tactile quality can transform the overall feel of the room and create a welcoming atmosphere in an otherwise minimal space.
Styling: @marketreadyproperties I Photography: @mindicooke I Featured: Basix Linen Quilt in Sable, Flocca Linen Duvet in Brun, Basix Bolster Cushion in Sable/Brun, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Petra
Choose an accent or hard surface such as lighting and side tables in black, dark brown or a polished metal to provide visual relief, and don’t rush the process – build up your elements until you are happy. It can help to create a moodboard of things you like – images, fabric swatches and colour palettes – and try to get samples where you can as things can always look different online or in different light.

Bedding Glossary
While many might think a duvet, quilt and coverlet are interchangeable, or that a bedspread and bedcover are the same thing, there are differences in these layers – including weight, size and function – that, once understood, can help make choosing the right option much easier. Read on for our bedding glossary where we explain some key bedding terms that can assist you with finding the right layer for your space and ensure you get the best night’s sleep.
Basix Linen Quilt in Ayrton
Quilt When considering a quilt vs duvet, it might help to understand that we class our quilt as an ‘all-in-one’ duvet alternative, while a duvet refers to a fabric cover with an insert. Our quilt is medium weight and generous in size, working beautifully on both a Queen and King bed.
Basix Linen Coverlet
CoverletOur coverlet is a lightweight duvet or quilt alternative that is often used as a layering piece. Timeless and versatile, our coverlet is an adaptable year-round addition that adds effortless elegance to any bedding scheme.
Flocca Linen Bedspread
Bedspread and BedcoverBoth a bedspread and bedcover offer a thin top-layer ‘cover all’, with the main difference being that the bedspread covers all but the pillows – similar to a coverlet – while a bedcover drapes generously to cover the whole bed including the pillows and reaches the floor.
Flocca Linen Duvet in Petra
Duvet
A duvet refers to the fabric cover that goes over an insert. Offered in a range of sizes – ours are available in King Single, Double, Queen, King and Super King – they can be easily updated to suit the season and are a simple way to transform the overall look of your bedroom.
Flocca Linen Blanket in Ayrton
BlanketA blanket is generally an accessory that can be used on a bed for an added layer of warmth, while also adaptable enough to work in other spaces such as in the living room, draped over the back of a sofa for convenient warmth and coverage.
Crush Linen Throw in Ayrton
Throw BlanketSimilar to a blanket, a throw is slightly smaller in size and is used more as a decorative accessory for the bedroom and living area, for example, folded over the back of an armchair as a light knee blanket or draped at the end of the bed for added colour and texture.

How to Care for Your Linen
Each piece in the HMCo. collection is made with exquisite craftsmanship and designed to last, and by taking an equally considered approach to care and handling, your linen will become softer and more luxurious with every wash.
The benefits of pure linenWith roughly one-third of our lives spent sleeping, creating a healthy (and beautiful) sleeping environment should be a high priority. Pure linen is a beautiful, natural material derived from flax, which is 100 per cent biodegradable and recyclable. This durable fibre allows for optimal breathability and can absorb as much as 20 per cent of its dry weight before feeling damp, leaving you feeling cool and dry in all seasons.
Read more about the benefits of linen here.
Washing your pure linen sheetsA gentle, warm machine wash is recommended with like colours, and avoid overfilling the machine so the product can move freely during the wash. We suggest using a mild liquid detergent on all of our linen sheets. We recommend tumble drying safely on low to medium heat to keep your linen soft and maintain its textural appeal.
Crush Linen Throw Blanket & Crush Double Linen Throw Blanket
Wash separately in a gentle warm machine wash using a mild liquid detergent and dry flat out of direct sunlight. This product can be tumble-dried on a cool setting.
Flocca Linen Blanket
Wash separately in a gentle warm machine wash using a mild liquid detergent. Our Flocca Linen Blanket can be dry-cleaned. We recommend that our Flocca Linen Blanket be tumble-dried on low heat.
Crush Merino Blanket
Made from 100 per cent soft knitted Italian Merino yarn and pre-washed for softness, our Crush Merino Blanket is to be dry-cleaned only.
Basix Linen Quilt
Dry-clean professionally or use a gentle machine wash (less than 40 degrees) in a commercial-sized, front-loading machine with mild liquid detergent. Our Basix Linen Quilt should be tumble dried at low heat.
Flocca Linen BedspreadYour bedspread is not to be used or washed as you would a sheet, and we strongly recommend dry-cleaning this product.
Flocca Linen TowelsA gentle warm machine wash is recommended with like colours. While we recommend tumble drying your towels, high heat will cause temporary shrinkage. Once water is reapplied to your product it will return to its original size.
NOTE: The premium density weave of our Linen Towels may cause lint. As a result, we strongly recommend washing and tumble-drying your towels separately. Tumble drying will expedite any lint shedding as well as keep your product soft to the touch and help to maintain its shape.
FAQSWhich detergent should I use to wash my linen sheets?Use a mild detergent such as a wool wash. To maintain the colour of your linen, we advise not to use bleach or detergents with optical brighteners or the anti-pilling enzyme cellulase, and to avoid exposure to continual sunlight.Does linen shrink in the wash?Linen as a fibre naturally expands with wear and shrinks with washing. However, our linen sheets have been pre-washed and pre-shrunk at very high temperatures to ensure that with proper care, no further shrinkage than its original state should occur.Can you put linen sheets in the dryer?HMCo. linen sheets can be tumble-dried or line-dried. We highly recommend tumble-drying our sheets to maintain their shape. If using a tumble dryer, use a low to medium heat to help maintain its soft textural appeal. Drying at high temperatures will cause the linen fibres to overheat, making them brittle over time. When line drying, we recommend taking your sheets off the line while they are slightly damp and finishing them in the dryer to soften.Do linen sheets stretch?
Linen as a fibre will naturally stretch with wear. HMCo. pure linen sheets are pre-shrunk and pre-washed ensuring the product retains its original quality from the first wash. To avoid deterioration from stretching and ensure longevity, we highly advocate tumble drying your linen sheets at least partially.
Always be sure to check individual product care instructions as these may vary from product to product within the HMCo. collection.

Palette Play: Chapter 2
We continue to explore our most coveted pure linen bedding combinations with styling guidance on how to bring each look to life in your space. This week's focus is on fresh, neutral layers of cloud-like whites and sea-inspired blues.
Fresh White – Ayrton & Petra
Soft and timeless Ayrton is a year-round favourite, offering a heavenly balance of freshness and classic style when styled with Petra, our pale stone hue. The latter is a versatile off-white that has been created with a melange weave combining Ayrton and warm, sandy Sable. Classic antique white Ayrton is ideal as a mid-hue, lending a brightening layer to Petra and creating a brilliant tonal scheme.

Styling and variations
Any soft, light mid-hue will easily add an accent to this neutral white combination. Choose your accent hue based on the desired tone, for example, fo you wish for a cool palette, Argent, Fog or Azura will work beautifully, while Sable or Carmel are perfect for a warm palette. A set of pillowcases and or a flat sheet in your chosen hue will be enough to balance the tonal look. To enhance and add interest to this neutral scheme, look to stripe pillowcases and/or accessories – Ayrton/Russo or Sable/Brun for a warm palette, and Sable/Roy (for greens) or Fog/Tempest (for blue) or Ayrton/Nox (for both) for a cool palette. Quilts and coverlets add a luxurious, cloud-like final layer. See Shop our Style for pillow and accessory configurations best suited for you.

Mediterranean Blues – Fog & Roy
Calming Fog and Roy evoke leisurely days of sun and sea, inspiring a look that has classic appeal yet can be easily adapted for a more contemporary aesthetic. Fog is the primary hue in this scheme, offering a soft, light blue that imbues a calming effect that won’t overpower your space. Our cornflower-hued Roy works as a tonal accent, with both Fog and Roy falling into the dusty side of the blue spectrum.

Styling and variations
Both Fog and Roy can easily and effectively be switched over as primary and accent hues.
Using Roy as the primary colour will make more of a statement, while still bringing tonal cohesion and calm to your space. Including a neutral hue such as Ayrton or Petra will brighten the scheme and add further coolness, and Sable will add warmth. All of these neutrals work wonderfully as a contrasting fitted sheet, pillowcases or accessories. These soothing blues are best styled loosely for a relaxed, effortless look.
