Our Story - From Toys to Dopamine Decor

Heyday House is a curated collection of feel-good homewares, gifts and accessories, all the dopamine decor you need in one joyful place. We’re all about colour, personality and products that brighten your space and make everyday life a little more fun.

Meet the Partners in Crime

Heyday House is run by Bella and Mat, partners in life and business. For over a decade, we’ve worked together in our family-owned toy store, Hurley Burley Toys, based on the Gold Coast.

In 2019, we launched an ecommerce website for the toy shop so we could share our favourite products with customers across Australia and New Zealand. Designing and running that website sparked a genuine love for ecommerce, sourcing products, and connecting people with items that bring joy into their homes.

One of the best parts of working in the toy industry was attending not only toy fairs, but also gift and lifestyle fairs. While walking the aisles, we found ourselves drawn to colourful homewares, quirky decor and fun everyday pieces that felt exciting, playful and full of personality. That inspiration planted the seed for Heyday House.

After years of sourcing fun, high-quality products for kids, we knew it was time to bring that same sense of play and creativity into the rest of the home.

Our Mission

At Heyday House, we believe your home should spark joy every single day. That’s why we carefully curate pieces that:

• Brighten your mood with colourful, vibrant designs

• Add personality through unique and playful details

• Bring quality with well-made items designed to last

• Create happiness with dopamine-boosting decor for everyday life

Every product is chosen with intention, combining style, quality and feel-good energy to help make your space a little brighter.

Based on the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia, we’re passionate about spreading happiness one home at a time. We hope the pieces you find at Heyday House bring as much joy to your happy place as they do to ours.
