Ten things we’re loving at Freedom for every budget

April 7, 2022 Leave a Comment

Facebook0Pin00Email0Tweet0

A stalwart of the Australian furniture scene, Freedom celebrated its 40 year anniversary last year – in an industry that can be brutal, where businesses come and go, 40 years is quite a feat. From a vintage inspired print to stylish stoneware, and a couple of mid-century inspired pieces, here’s what we’re currently loving at Freedom.

Larsson buffet: Crafted from solid oak, this mid-century inspired buffet features three drawers, three doors and ample storage space inside. $1,399.

Eton leather sofa: Upholstered in butter soft, semi-aniline black or tan leather, this timeless sofa is available as a two or three-seater. It’s a constant in the Freedom range, and for good reason. $2,799.

Albanie floor rug (160cm x 230cm): Handmade from jute and wool, this rug is super hardwearing making it perfect for high-traffic areas. Neutral in colour, and featuring an Art Deco inspired design, it would complement virtually any space. $499.

Tierra tableware: This dishwasher-safe stoneware tabletop range exudes seriously cool earthy vibes courtesy of its uneven edges and speckled finish. From $9.95.

Dome table lamp: Available in brushed brass or chrome, this designer-inspired graphic lamp is perfect for a bedside, living room or hallway. $249.

Afternoon Shadows framed photograph: Giant blooms and peachy, rust coloured hues: what’s not to love? $199.

Keys shelving unit: This top-selling shelving unit is perfect for storing your favourite books, plants and household ephemera. We love its clean lines. $1,699.

Modernist shelf

Klara cushion: This two-toned, colour blocked cushion is a fabulous autumnal update for the lounge room. $49.95.

Wanda floor lamp: From the pleated vase to the brushed brass detailing, this floor lamp is giving us stylish but strong 80’s vibes. Jen loved this too at the recent Freedom media previews. $299.

NOUVEAUX Travaux L’Ocean Print: It’s the lovely vintage-inspired nature of this artful print that caught our eye. The coral and colour combo are the icing on the cake. $229.

Floor to ceiling tiles are not the only option! I Floor to ceiling tiles are not the only option!

I'm actually a big fan of the contrast you can achieve by only tiling part way as @naomifindlayofficial has here in her Carrington House reno. And she topped them with an @intrimgroup chair rail to give a finished look.

Read more about how Naomi used timber mouldings to achieve a consistent look, feel and flow between the original cottage and the modern extension on the blog now. Via the homepage (link in bio).

It's a great time to be an interior designer! Wou It's a great time to be an interior designer!

Would you agree?

The latest @houzzau industry report found that residential design and construction professionals are very optimistic about business prospects. Interior designers and decorators were the most optimistic about revenue growth in 2022 among those surveyed, followed by home builders and building designers. 

A third of businesses reported that they were looking to hire more staff this year which is great news for jobseekers. 

The only negative finding was around the rising cost of doing business. One of the most significant factors was the price volatility of productsand  materials.

All in all though, it's a great time to be in the design industry. If you are, do you agree? Please drop us a comment below🙏

Boys' wardrobe makeover for under $500🤗 Anyone Boys' wardrobe makeover for under $500🤗

Anyone else have those basic as built ins in an older house with a hanging rail and nothing else?! Not exactly great use of space or ideal for kids' clothes! 

We replaced the doors on all our wardrobes years ago but the internals behind were still pretty lacking. I recently made much better use of space in here with 2 @flexistorage flatpacks from Bunnings. They fit perfectly with easy access and 4 drawers and 3 shelves each is more than enough for kids. We attached them to the inside of the wardrobe so they're safe and sturdy.

They're $209 each and then we cut down a  brass wardrobe rail to create 2 hanging rails in between. They can even reach the bottom one themselves. I labelled Seb's too so he knows where to find things quickly.

Before this we were using those hanging shoe racks. The worst!

TA-DAH! SO MUCH BETTER USE OF SPACE!

We used the Flexi Storage White 3 Shelf 4 Drawer Built In Wardrobe Unit. Swipe for the before.

Save this post if your built ins could do with a makeover!
It can be all too easy to leave our kitchen bencht It can be all too easy to leave our kitchen benchtops bare and a little sterile!

But a few styling tricks with everyday objects can take the space next level and add interest, warmth and personality.

Save this post and have a go this weekend! Would love to see what you create!
