Your home means your style. We’re just here to give you a little nudge in the right direction, and to do that we’ve employed the help of leading Australian stylist Lucy Tweed. Read on to be inspired and discover six Australian made furniture looks for your home.
1. Unpretentious, Understated, Elegant
Lucy’s Tip:
“Make your sofa the star of the room, by customising it in an unexpected shade like an on-trend tropical green, or even a warm pink.”
Create a living space that’s relaxed and inviting , while maintaining an air of effortless, unpretentious elegance. Proudly made in Australia, the ‘Langham’ Fabric Sofa showcases a clean and contemporary design as well as generous and plush cushions. Choose from a range of beautiful fabrics to customise your sofa. In the image above, the sofa is pictured in a hushed blue hue, which pairs perfectly with the nude timber tones of the Australian made ‘Cathy Lamp Table’ and ‘Cathy’ Coffee Table to create a cohesive look.
2. Sensual Surfaces And Smooth Shapes
Lucy’s Tip:
“A dining table is a ‘forever’ purchase, so don’t be swayed by trends. Instead, make it count by choosing one that’s high quality, sturdy and customised perfectly to your space like these Australian-made pieces.”
To achieve a subtle, sophisticated look that will withstand the test of time, make your ‘forever’ purchase the ‘Lombardozzi’ Dining Table, pictured here with matching ‘Lombardozzi’ Dining Chairs in soft fabric upholstery and the graceful ‘Lombardozzi’ Buffet. You can choose from 5 different sizes, to accommodate for family and friends, and a selection of smooth timber stains to suit your home. Ground the look with the mild mannered hue of the tactile JHD-5070 Rug.
3. Beauty Rich And Rare
Lucy’s Tip:
“If subtlety is more your style, create interest in the room through texture. Choose warm, neutral fabrics with different weaves for your sofa, cushions and rugs, and layer them together for a luxuriously tactile look.”
Achieve everyday luxury in your home with the Australian made ‘Eastern’ Fabric Sofa. Available in a choice of fabrics and colours, we love it in a nuanced navy as shown in the image above. Complement the streamlined design of the sofa with the two-toned style of the ‘Parklane’ Buffet. Adding a textured rug in an earthy tone like the ‘Solano’ Rug juxtaposes nicely against the sublime fabric of the sofa. For a finishing touch, give the ‘Titan’ Clouds Print – the image of rising storm clouds adds a sensory element to the room – a place of pride in your living room.
4. Nature’s Gift
Lucy’s Tip:
“Aussie style is all about bringing hints of our great outdoors, inside. Think quality timber pieces paired with the earthy tones of our landscape – sea blue, sand and gumtree green.”
A winning combination of colour and geometry, this look is about all things nature. The ‘Cathy’ Dining Table is the perfect centrepiece to achieve this. Boasting a floating-timber tabletop with contrasting shades and a bold trapezoid leg configuration, the ‘Cathy’ is available in a range of options to suit your needs, so it’s perfect for entertaining. Adding matching occasional furniture like the ‘Cathy’ Buffet carries the natural, timber theme through the room, while the soft gradient between earthy tones of the ‘Beau’ Cosy Rug is reminiscent of Australian scenery.
5. The Raw, The Refined And The Regal
Lucy’s Tip:
“Rich texture that you can feel and connect with was one of the key trends this year. Inject that tactile quality into your space with textural upholstery choices that beg to be touched.”
It’s so easy to create a luxurious setup as pictured above with the Australian made ‘Oakdale’ Armchair – a showpiece of refined style and premium comfort. Select a rich and intense fabric colour for what’s bound to become everyone’s favourite chair in the house, and soften it up with a textured accessory such as the ‘Freya’ Cushion in a tawny camel colour. Complete the look with distinctive occasional furniture such as the Australian made ‘Lombardozzi’ Hall Table with Wine Rack Insert. The beautiful cross-section design adds character while complementing the solid fabric upholstery colour of the armchair. Plus, it’s perfect for keeping your reading stash close at hand as this versatile furniture piece stores more than just wine.
6. Great Southern Comfort
Lucy’s Tip:
“With so many choices available, customising can be overwhelming. Keep your space cohesive by sticking to one interior style (like minimalist or casual-luxe) and allowing this to guide your colour, texture and material choices.”
Here’s an example of a minimalist interior style, inspired by the clean design and timeless style of the ‘Zenith’ Fabric Sofa. Proudly made in Australia with plump seat cushions, a durable timber frame and coordinating scatter cushions, the ‘Zenith’ Fabric Sofa is available in a selection of beautiful coordinated fabrics to suit your home décor. Keep it simple with the modest ‘Blake’ Table Lamp to finish the look.
