THE DESIGN FILES OPEN HOUSE

WWW.THEDESIGNFILESOPENHOUSE.COM - ONLINE TRADING DEC 5-18

WELCOME

“Thanks so much for coming to visit THE DESIGN FILES OPEN HOUSE! We are super excited to launch this very special event – the first of its kind in Melbourne.

THE DESIGN FILES OPEN HOUSE is the ultimate Australian home – filled with beautiful locally made furniture, artwork by Australian artists, homewares, textiles and accessories by many talented designers you might have read about on The Design Files. In styling this home, we have tried to create a unique space that feels a little like walking into The Design Files in real life!

Take your time exploring the house from room to room – our friendly crew are stationed in every room ready to answer your questions. (We’re easy to spot, wearing yellow polka dots!). Make your way from garage through to the master bedroom, work space and kids space, then head upstairs – and don’t forget to stop for a coffee on the roofdeck before you leave!

Great design is everywhere, but this week – it’s all under one roof! We hope this space will inspire you, spark your own creative spirit and fill you with bright ideas for your own home!”
