There’s only one problem with visiting the most beautifully furnished of residential spaces.
They tend to look at you funny when you walk out with the bedlinen.
Not so at the Design Files Open House, Melbourne and Sydney’s pop-up with a willpower-testing twist: You can leave with whatever you can carry (or in the case of Jardan’s beautiful outdoor furniture, anything your removal guy can).
Geared towards interiors addicts rather than kleptomaniacs, it’s the brainchild of Lucy Feagins and the physical extension of her equally stylish blog.
Un-pixilated and ripe for your purchasing pleasure will be the aforementioned furniture by Jardan plus books, artwork, kitchenware, lighting and, yes, bedlinen, from over 70 Feagins-approved local designers.
The Melbourne leg will house goods by Sally Ross, Kirra Jamison, Beci Orphin, Miranda Skoczek and Bonnie and Neil, while Sydney will play host to Dinosaur Designs, Rachel Castle, Julian Meagher, Laura Jones, Studio Kyss and The 49 Studio.
And while the walls are the one thing you can’t take home, you can paint your own with a selection of four luxe Dulux paint colours created especially for the event.
Just remember to leave something for us.
