Beyond the workshop, I also offer in-home styling — helping clients pull a room together with the pieces they already have, the ones they're commissioning, and the few they're still looking for. Fabric direction, furniture placement, the right rug, the right light.
Best for: a single room that isn't quite working, a new build waiting for its character, or a long-loved home ready for a considered refresh.
I'm Lillie, and I've always believed the right piece of furniture can completely change how a room — and a home — feels. It was during my time living in London that I first fell in love with upholstery, drawn in by the craft, the fabric, the texture, and the way a beautifully made piece could anchor a space.
Esther Mae Spaces grew from that love. Named after my middle names, every piece is handcrafted collaboratively — from fabric selection and sizing through to your overall vision for your furniture within a space. Specialising in handcrafted headboards and ottomans, made to order from my studio in Hawke's Bay — alongside home styling services to help you bring the whole space together.
Every piece begins with a conversation. Tell me what you have in mind — size, fabric, shape — and I'll come back to you with everything you need to know. If you're not sure where to start, I offer home styling services to help you find the direction first. Allow 4–6 weeks from order.
