from fabric to furniture

fashion and interiors share an interest in proportion, colour and the behaviour of materials. this november 2018 archive began with melbourne’s spring racing season, drawing connections between clothing and the objects of a room.

the useful lesson is to look at how a detail works, then consider whether it belongs within the home. our interior decoration and styling service in melbourne brings those references into a personal, cohesive setting.

structure and softness

the blue sofa reference combines a defined profile with velvet upholstery. like tailoring, the relationship between form and fabric matters: the same shape can read very differently in a fine weave or a deeper pile.

a deliberate colour

lamai anne’s dark waratah print introduces a stronger colour reference. an artwork can lead a palette, with quieter tones elsewhere giving the composition room to remain the focus.

the edge of a textile

a ruffled linen edge adds movement to otherwise simple bedding. small details can contribute character without requiring a layered arrangement of competing fabrics.

a reflective finish

the metallic reference introduces warmth through reflection. a measured accent can connect a lamp, handle or smaller object, with the surrounding surfaces determining how strongly it is read.

pattern through craft

the floral inlay table reference turns pattern into a material detail. its placement should allow the surface to be seen, with scale and practical use considered alongside the workmanship.

furniture selection and art selection translate these individual influences into pieces chosen for the people who live with them.
