Homewares

Homewares exemplify the joy of modern living! Our luxury as Australians is that not only do we get to take joy in purchasing useful and lifestyle improving items, but we also get to express our creative selves when we do.

The thing that sets homewares apart from household utensils is the addition of a creative voice that homewares lend to space, allowing you to communicate more than just sheer purpose. Similarly designer furniture and homewares both allow us to express ourselves in a space, freeing us from the shackles of utilitarian blandness.

When choosing Furniture and homewares online and in person, its important to first know what you want the space to communicate. Once you’ve identified what the space needs, searching based on what the homewares or furniture bring to a space i.e. ‘light and cheerful homewares’ allows you to control the tone of your space.

So Watt have a variety of design voices to help you find just the right thing for your space. Here are all the different collections to choose from!

One of the longest lasting impacts of the Mid Century designers was the power of the cylindrical leg - a legacy that Plonk has built from. The Plonk design voice allows you to introduce the subtle combination of soft touches and strong shapes into your homewares collection.
● Neo
The circle can be one the most useful tools in breaking up space, and creating harmony. Whether it be a circle table to disrupt parallel lines or simply a circle stool, its a tool every home designer needs in their repertoire. This is what makes Neo Homewares such a useful tool in the pursuit of homeware harmony.
● Palais
Nothing can substitute the unquantifiable quality of fun that some space have, and fun is a homewares characteristic that Palais has in abundance. Whether it be lightening a dull space, or matching the already chippa feel that a room has, Palais allows you to inject happiness into your Aussie homewares journey.

It can be a hard tension to navigate deciding whether to stylise a house uniformly or room by room. However, attempting uniformity or extreme difference for each room can be a false front to fight on. The most important thing when designing your space, is making sure you're telling the same story the whole way through the house.

People love stories, it's a skill that we learn straight from birth, whether it be around the dinner table or have just picked it up navigating the hustle and bustle of life. But even more than storytellers, we’re story connoisseurs, nothing sticks out quite like a poorly told narrative, even when its told with homewares. This is why the narrative we tell with our homewares has to align with who we are.

There are many different types of stories that you can tell with your space, a common one is choosing a dominant colour for your whole house. But there is no need to limit yourself to just colour. There are many nuanced stories to be told, and often more than one can run concurrently. Here are some interesting themes to inspire you space;

● Source of origin
How does where your homewares were crafted help bring your space together?

● Prominence of one Central Material
How does the use of one central material help you curate and bring together your space?

● Your Inclinations As A Person
Shaping your space to help and express your personality i.e. are you a minimalist?

● Your Experience
Homewares that speak into your experience as a person, whether that be travel, hobbies or career

● Emotional Disposition Through Colour
Colour can be a great way to communicate the emotions that you find naturals and comforting
