who are we

Urban Edge Style is a boutique retail establishment and interior design business that specialises in both harmonious Interior Design and Decoration as well as offering an array of luxury homewares that delight the senses. Under the vision and direction of Linda Hamilton we have established a reputation for creating emotive spaces using the highest quality interior design and decorating.

  • After celebrating 20 years of creating these spaces Urban Edge is a go to destination for timeless, elegant interior design. This design personality is strongly based on the use of neutral tones, sophisticated designs and textures that are often inspired by a coastal palette and exciting mix of Australia’s culture and relaxed lifestyle. Urban Edge prides itself on the ability to create a tranquil and calm atmosphere to tell the unique story of the people who reside there. It is this ethos that is reflected throughout our many bespoke design projects and also flows through to our beautiful Gold Coast retail boutique. The business was born in 2002 from Linda’s love of stylish homewares and also a natural ability to interpret the language of design.

  • Quickly building a repertoire as a classic contemporary boutique filled with neutral tones and textures, it wasn't long before clients were requesting more from our petite homewares store. By 2004 the Urban Edge Design Studio emerged and we began to cater for clients who were eager to have this unique aesthetic in their own homes. Relocating to Nobbys Beach in 2017, where we recently celebrated 20 years of business in 2021, Urban Edge’s signature style continues to excel in quality and reputation whilst always maintaining our inspired and timeless aesthetic. It is these core values and vision that continues to command attention for all the right reasons – no matter the size or scale of the project.

"A HOME SHOULD BE A SANCTUARY – ONE THAT PROVIDES JOY, PEACE & HAPPINESS. IT SHOULD EMBODY YOUR OWN UNIQUE STYLE THAT IS BOTH PRACTICAL & LUXURIOUS WHILE BEING REFLECTIVE OF THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE."

Born in Ireland, Linda grew up travelling Europe and her years abroad have heavily influenced her design style, yet she has redefined and adapted that foundation to suit our Australian lifestyle.
