Hi there!

I’m Alex Morrow, a New Zealand-based interior stylist, foodie and avid traveller. Born and raised in Germany, I’ve called a number of places home for a time in my life: Dublin (Ireland), London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Tokyo (Japan) and now Auckland (New Zealand).

I’ve lost count of how many different houses, flats and apartments I’ve lived in, however what they all have in common is that I made them my home.

Your home should tell your story. It should add to your wellbeing and make you happy as soon as you step inside. Your home should be your haven, your safe space and reflect your personality.

What’s in the name?

Turquoise Port was the name of my home decor, art and accessories shop in Tokyo: “When you think of Turquoise Port it conjures up images of exotic ports on the old silk route, where precious finds are carefully transported from the Far East in big steamer trunks. Making the journey through distant lands, every piece has a story to tell as they reach their new home to be enjoyed by those who have wanderlust in their soul.”

I was heartbroken when it was time to leave Japan and I had to close my shop. The spirit of Turquoise Port still lives within these pages. Who knows – maybe one day I will go sourcing throughout Asia again to create the carefully curated shopping experience called Turquoise Port.

I love to have you here – you can also find me on Instagram and Facebook.
