Designers Mentoring Designers with Simone Haag & Sisalla Interior Design

By identifying those within the industry that don’t just inspire you, but that also lift & value the industry, you immediately open yourself up to being a recipient of actual gold dust.

Today then, let me share with you why TWO of Australia’s most talented designers are doing just that and why it is good news for you.

Stylish rugs for the home with Ohh Happy Home

Because I’m not a designer, when it comes to choosing pieces for the home (in this case rugs) there’s typically far more trial and error than most. I just don't seem to have any natural spacial awareness. I knew I wasn't alone in this, and one of the big reasons why Spreading Roomers is #gettingbehinddesign rather than in front of it, is to share knowledge from our trusted sources to help bring you closer to design.

In conversation with Studio Atelier, one of Perth's leading architectural home designers

Siba Interiors, Perth's accessible interior designer

Andrea’s whole ethos really stems from not taking it all so seriously which is to say, it revolves around design that’s accessible and can actually be lived ‘well’ in. You can safely just assume that she’s more than prepared to road test ‘anything’ to ensure that families are actually able to be themselves in their surroundings.

What does Interior Architecture really mean?

“Our clients came to us wanting a contemporary extension to meet the needs their modern family. We sought to transform their two-bedroom Newtown cottage into a four bedroom, two-bathroom family home; with a strong emphasis on increased access to natural light and functional storage.” - Helena.
