Best in Home Design: Online Shopping Stores with Designer Décor we Love

When it comes to interiors, nothing beats browsing a collection in-store. Not least to feel the tactile textures of fabrics and handmade ceramics, but also to get an idea of scale – you don't want to wind up with a dinner table that won't get through your front door! 

But when some of your favourite homeware stores are scattered up and down the country, it can be difficult to find the time to visit, let alone browse. Luckily there are plenty of gorgeous boutiques selling their wares on the web. So you can shop till you drop, without so much as a car journey in sight. 

To help you with your digital shopping adventures (read: addiction), we’ve rounded up the best in home design online shopping where you can browse from the comfort of your sofa for everything from textiles to tableware.  

Jones & Co

Fill your homes with beautifully crafted wares from the creative ceramics brand Jones & Co. All designed locally and then handcrafted by artisans around the world, you will fall in love with their range of vases, tableware, planters, and decorative accessories. 

If you're in the market for a vase or planter to support your plant obsession, may we suggest their Nude Collection. Celebrating the beauty of the human body, each piece is equal parts cute and naughty.

Fenton & Fenton

Founded by Lucy Fenton,  cult store Fenton & Fenton has become a design destination with serious style cred. Inspired by her own globe-trotting adventures, Lucy's unique store is a treasure trove of one-off finds, beautiful furniture, statement artwork and bold textiles sourced from near and far. Perusing their online store is like a trip to a virtual art gallery – they represent over 30 Australian artists, including the likes of Billie Justice Thomson and Casey Burrill. 

Part interiors boutique, part art mecca – a shopping trip to Fenton & Fenton will leave your home looking wildly maximalist yet still effortlessly chic.

Greenhouse Interiors

Greenhouse Interiors  is your one-stop shop for all things home. Their website says it all –“We stand against the uniform to give you colour, style and personality for your home”.  And that’s exactly what you can expect from their gorgeous, bold range of boutique designer art, textiles, homewares and furniture. 

Not only are they at the forefront of cutting edge design, but they’re also forging new ground in the interior-tech space, too. Their 3D Art-App uses augmented reality to offer life-like representations of what their artworks look like on your wall. It’s basically a try before you buy tool, and we’re all over it.

JUMBLED

The number one rule of online store JUMBLED is to “only stock things that make your heart sing.” While this might sound very Kondo-esque, we can assure you after browsing this gorgeously curated site that everything, in fact, does spark joy. Their site is categorised by room, so you can work your way around the home adding as many things to your cart as you please (or that your credit card will allow). 

Their colourful and eclectic aesthetic will have you injecting your home with crazy (yet totally tasteful) patterns and playful interiors in no time.

Hello Trader

If you're one of the lucky ones living on the Sunshine Coast, you'll know (and regularly frequent) gorgeous concept store Hello Trader.

Hardcore fans, however, can head to their website to peruse their beautifully sourced treasures, most of which are handcrafted by local and international artisans. 

Stocking everything from stunning textiles like antique Moroccan rugs to homewares and furniture (hello, rattan!), as well as a range of artwork from a Sitchu fave, Bonnie Gray. Oh, and be careful – they have a category on their site called Trinkets; a.k.a. things you never knew you needed but definitely want to buy.
