The heart behind
Reclaimed Retreats
Reclaimed Retreats
Founded by Emily Tillery in 2020, Reclaimed Retreats is an interior design firm rooted in sustainability and intentional design.
Emily’s path into interiors was shaped by her experience as an Airbnb host and renovator. Hosting taught her that design isn’t about filling a space with new things—it’s about shaping how people feel within it. That belief guides her work today: beginning with what’s already there, repurposing with intention, and sourcing thoughtfully when needed.
With a background in fashion design and hands-on renovation, she creates warm, functional, story-driven spaces that breathe new life into reclaimed materials. The result is homes and rentals that feel personal, grounded, and genuinely lived in—designed for real life and memorable stays.

COLIN D.
“Emily is direct and honest about what will work best – exactly what you want in a designer. With our first project, I was worried we wouldn’t finish on time, but she assured me we’d get it done and she delivered as promised. She stays on track, on time, and on budget. Now on our second project together with a tight timeline, it’s reassuring to work with someone I know gets things done.”
ANGELICA G.
“Emily has an incredible eye for balance. She helped me integrate lush rainforest elements into my North East summer house, achieving a seamless blend of textures and colors that I thought would be impossible to pull off. She is resourceful, highly intelligent, and a true problem-solver. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
