I’m Emily Tillery, interior designer, Airbnb host, and founder of Reclaimed Retreats. My passion for design started early, sketching house layouts on scraps of paper, and evolved through a career in fashion where I developed a deep understanding of color, texture, and how our surroundings shape creativity and well-being.

Before transitioning into interiors, I spent over a decade in fashion design. Surrounded by constant production cycles and discarded materials, I became deeply aware of the impact our environments have on both people and the planet. That perspective continues to shape how I approach every space today.

In 2015, I began renovating my own properties, intentionally sourcing reclaimed and repurposed pieces to create spaces that feel layered, personal, and enduring. What started as a personal design philosophy quickly evolved into a signature approach that blends sustainability, storytelling, and functionality.

Today, I help homeowners and short-term rental hosts transform their spaces into environments that feel welcoming, intentional, and built to perform. Every project is rooted in thoughtful design, operational insight, and the belief that the best spaces don’t just look beautiful, they create meaningful experiences.
