West Elm and Pottery Barn to open in Australia

By Jen Bishop โ€ข

FacebookPinEmailTweet

VERY exciting news today! Well loved American home furnishing and kitchen brands West Elm, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and Williams-Sonoma are all opening in Sydney next year. I know MANY of you will be delighted to hear this because shipping heavy goods from the States just isn’t an option. Now all we need is Anthropologie…

West Elm

The stores, which will all open under the same roof at Bondi Junction’s new Exchange Building, are the first company-owned retail stores outside of North America as part of retail giant Williams-Sonoma Inc.’s global expansion strategy. Who said Australia gets everything last?

โ€œIโ€™m thrilled to continue our global expansion by opening our first Australian locations in Sydney,โ€ said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer. โ€œWe have spent a great deal of time looking for the right location and believe that the Exchange Building possesses the key elements for success. It offers us a central shopping location with easy access for pedestrians and commuters, as well as the perfect amount of space to introduce our brands to Australia.โ€

Pottery Barn
West Elm

POTTERY BARNย ย Pottery Barn was founded on the idea that home furnishings should be exceptional in comfort, quality, style, and value. The Sydney store will reflect this ethos and will be organised according to lifestyle displays, designed to inspire customers and make shopping easy and enjoyable. There will be destinations within the store dedicated to living rooms, outdoor spaces, dining rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as feature walls that will display lighting, rugs, and window treatments. A comprehensive Wedding & Gift Registry will be available.

POTTERY BARN KIDS ย Launched in 1999, Pottery Barn Kids serves as an inspirational destination for creating childhood memories by decorating nurseries, bedrooms and play spaces. Pottery Barn Kids offers exclusive, innovative, and high-quality products designed specifically with children in mind for creating magical spaces where children can play, laugh, learn and grow. Product categories available in the Sydney store will include furniture, bedding, bathroom accessories, window treatments, rugs, lighting, decorative accessories, classic toys, nursery essentials, and gear such as luggage, backpacks, and reusable lunch bags.

WEST ELM ย Since it launched in 2002, West Elm has been helping people express their personal style at home with authentic, affordable, and approachable products. Each season, West Elmโ€™s talented in-house team of designers creates a collection that canโ€™t be found anywhere else, and works with artists and independent designers globally and locally to develop collaborations that are exclusive to the brand. The brand also offers handmade and one-of-a-kind discoveries from around the world, working closely with organisations that support the development of global craft communities and artisan skills.

WILLIAMS-SONOMAย Since its founding by Chuck Williams in 1956, the Williams-Sonoma brand has been bringing people together around food. A leading specialty retailer of high-quality products for the kitchen and home, the brand seeks to provide world-class service and an engaging customer experience. Products include cookware, cooksโ€™ tools, cutlery, electrics, bakeware, tabletop and bar, outdoor, cookbooks and decorative accessories. A specialty food hall offers a range of distinctive food items, from pre-prepared foods and mixes, to spices and sauces that enhance the culinary experience. The Sydney store will feature a cooking school and professional demonstration kitchen with a full calendar of cooking classes, tastings and demonstrations conducted by expert culinary staff and guest chefs.

Colour hug, anyone?! A collaboration with design Colour hug, anyone?!

A collaboration with design studio Nexus Designs, this palette from the new @haymespaint colour forecast is perfect for those looking to create a tranquil environment and has a particular focus on darker shades.

โ€œInspired by the qualities of an intimate reading room, confident and expressive colours such as Florida Everglade have a muted depth that embody this. Balanced and subtle, itโ€™s also invigorating and luscious. Through all over application, paired with contemporary furniture and styling, this colour and the broader palette plays with tactility, translucency, reflection, and form,โ€ says Myra Murtagh of Nexus. 

See the rest of the colour forecast, include collabs with @adairs and TikTok favourites @joshandmattdesign on the blog homepage now, via link in bio.

Slammed for being too small, @kyleandleslie's living room was otherwise praised by the judges for being beautifully styled.

"In terms of using it as a marketing platform itโ€™s been amazing," he said. "Even for people who donโ€™t follow the show itโ€™s validation that they are following an artist thatโ€™s levelling up. The exposure has translated to sales, traffic and attention and itโ€™s everything I wanted because Iโ€™m about to launch a new collection.โ€

Real reno: How's this for a luxe bathroom?! Natas Real reno: How's this for a luxe bathroom?!

Natasha from QLD recently finished a major reno of her Queenslander and this is her favourite room of all. We can see why!

She used @beaumont.tiles  Lux Calcutta slabs in gloss the wall and matt for the floor.

ย "We have infused a Hamptons style whilst still remaining true to the traditions of old Queenslanders," she said. "Our bathroom is north west facing and captures such great morning light. We wrapped the cabinetry all the way along the vanity for ease of access for the bath, towels and accessories. We tiled all the way to the ceiling to create a more luxurious space. It's my favourite room in the house!"

Brimming with fun, functionality and colour, the home is shared by ex MasterChef contestant Peter Kritikides, his wife Erica and their two children. 

Occupied by the family since 2015, the renovation brief called for a sympathetic yet modern upgrade to the heritage listed original home as well as the demolition and rebuild of the back of the residence.

    I love Pottery Barn. I’m so looking forward to the Exchange Building..hoping it’ll be a one stop shop and that they carry loads of stock.
    I’m going to California next month and I plan to come back with an armful of PB towels. They are wonderful!

    December 6, 2012 at 10:42 am

    Whilst I know the costs of set up are high and the risk high, lets have these open in Brisbane. Not everyone wants online shopping. No doubt the reality will be all the Melbourne people will scream how unfair and the companies will rush to open there. We must fight this alarming trend to go back to Sydney Melbourne only.
