Now celebrating its 11th year, the Belle Fanuli Interior Design Awards is one of the most prestigious events on Australia’s annual design calendar, garnering hundreds of submissions and culminating in a glittering reception attended by the design world’s leading lights. The program is committed to supporting the creativity and innovation of the Australian interior design industry, rewarding excellence by individuals, partnerships and design practices across residential, hospitality and commercial levels.

Greg Natale Designs’ Brisbane House, a finalist in best residential interior

Finalists in all 10 categories have been revealed (listed below in detail) in the August/September issue of Belle – on sale now – having been selected from a pool of almost 300 submissions by expert judges.

Joining Tanya Buchanan, editor-in-chief of Belle and House & Garden magazines, this year’s judging panel included Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy of Dinosaur Designs; Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora; and Belle contributing editors Karen McCartney, Steve Cordony, Jean Wright and Lucy Montgomery.

Rocks Revival by Thomas Hamel & Associates, a finalist in best residential interior

Tanya said: “We are really excited by the quantity and quality of entries for this year’s Belle Fanuli Interior Design Awards making this year’s judging particularly challenging. The outstanding entries were submitted from a mix of established, mid-career and emerging interior design and architecture practices. It is so inspiring to see the strength and originality of the Australian design aesthetic and at Belle we feel privileged to be an integral part of the landscape of Australian interior design.

“We welcome Fanuli as our headline sponsor and are delighted to be working with Fabio, Sandro and Marco and the rest of the Fanuli team in making the awards an annual event to remember.”

Queens Park by Arent & Pyke, a finalist in best residential kitchen

Categories and awards span across residential interiors, covering kitchen and bathroom design to hospitality, commercial, best work with colour including the category for Best Residential Design (Reader’s Choice).

Voting for the Readers’ Choice competition is open now. You’re invited to select your favourite interior from the 10 projects shortlisted for Best Residential Interior to go in the running to win a Flexform ‘Joyce’ armchair from Fanuli, worth more than $4,000.

Lena by Smart Design Studio, a finalist in best residential bathroom

In addition, there will be awards for Emerging Design Star, Hall of Fame and the creme de la creme Interior Designer of the Year award, which will this year be presented by Fanuli.

Winning designers and their work will be published in Belle Magazine later in the year following the prestigious, invite-only awards evening, to be held at the Fanuli showroom in Cremorne, Sydney.
