Australia produces some of the best homewares in the world. Many brands that originated Down Under are now global successes, sold on major platforms like FarFetch and Net-a-Porter. Australian homeware brands continue to evolve and expand, often drawing upon our country’s unique landscapes for inspiration, creating pieces that feel authentic to our home land.
With so many Australian homeware brands in market, it can feel overwhelming when considering new interior items for the home. Here, we cover our favourite twenty across vases, throws, cushions, mirrors and other decor that turns a house into a home.
Aeyre
An off-shoot of hugely popular Australian jewellery label Reliquia, Aeyre launched a few years ago and has since amassed a significant fanbase, initially off the back of its colourful candle holders.
Now, the label sells unique and stylish towels, glassware, coasters and incense holders, all of which feel like pieces of art and stand out without overpowering a space.
Armadillo
Need a new rug? It’s worth considering the Australian homeware brand Armadillo. The first Australian-American rug maker to achieve B-Corp status, their wares are handmade by artisans in India, and the company abides by a philosophy of ‘quiet living’, creating rugs made of natural materials designed to withstand time and wear.
Baina
Bath towels never looked so good. Founded by Bailey Meredith and Anna Fahey, Baina towels are made in Portugal using organic cotton. They’re thick, absorbent and most importantly, incredibly stylish in any bathroom – the brand’s ethos is to “subtly disrupt” the often neutral (and boring) bathroom space.
Curio
If colour and vibrant design is your thing, you’ll love what Curio does. Inspired by curio cabinets (historically used to display oddities and objects of special interest), the brand’s throw pillows and blankets are fun, often quirky and always eye-catching, adding interest to your home spaces.
Double
A completely new concept in the Australian homeware brand market, Double creates rugs – that you can wash. Like, in the washing machine. A godsend for the clumsy and dinner party fans among us, Double’s designs are elevated and modern, so you can have the best of both worlds: longevity and style.
Fazeek
Founded in 2017, this Melbourne homewares brand spearheaded the wavy glassware trend – Fazeek‘s coupe glasses are Instagram famous, and the design (inspired by the curves and edges of architecture) may have spawned many an impostor, but the original will always remain the best. Beyond drinkware, Fazeek expanded into beautiful glass diningware and vases, plus a recent (and potentially the best) addition – the quirkiest, most stylish cake stand you’ll ever see.
en gold
Producing limited quantities of products and maintaining a collection of thoughtful creations, en gold has become quite the power player in the Australian homeware brands scene. Founders Steffanie and Matt Ball draw inspiration from their travels and heritage, often choosing natural materials that bring the exterior to the interior. Plus, the brand’s website stocks other slow interior-minded designers and artists, supporting the wider industry.
Hommey
We might be obsessed with Hommey‘s cuddly, perfectly-sized throw pillows, but we’re really obsessed with their stylish, elevated pet offering. A relatively new release, Hommey’s pet beds are easily the most aesthetically-minded we’ve come across, which means your best friend’s space for zzz’s won’t detract from the overall feel of your home.
In The Roundhouse
Co-founded by Alyce Tran, In The Roundhouse has gone from strength to strength since its Italian plates went viral online. Now, the brand has designs for everyone – cute and quirky Mediterranean creations through to colourful yet minimalist options. Created to be mix-and-match, the beauty of In The Roundhouse pieces is you can incorporate them into your existing dinnerware, or start a collection of fun, vibrant pieces yourself.
Jardan
One of the longest-running Australian homeware brands, Jardan has been operating since the 80s and still maintains its original ethos – to craft its wares to order in its Melbourne and to create pieces inspired by the laid-back Australian way of life. Known for its furniture, Jardan also has an extensive homewares collection featuring mirrors, sculptures and lamps, among other interior items.
Hay
Hay has existed since 2002 but while the pieces they sell may have shifted as new design trends have emerged, this is one of those Australian homeware brands that has never stopped being at the top of the game. Inspired by architecture, fashion and modern living, Hay’s pieces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Marloe Marloe
Ceramicist Marloe Morgan founded Marloe Marloe in 2014, wanting to create ceramics that rise above trends to become lifetime pieces of art in the home. You likely know the brand for its textured vases and vessels, but you’ll also find diningware, servingware and more online as the brand continues to expand.
Madio Studio
Although still on the smaller side of Australian homeware brands, Madio Studio is already making a name for itself thanks to its truly unique Pebble, Puddle, Rock and Funghi designs. Are they sculptures? Are they weights? However you choose to style them, they will absolutely become a talking point for any guest entering your space.
Maison Balzac
You simply cannot write about Australian homeware brands without including Maison Balzac. The glass vessel creators to end all glass vessel creators, you likely have some of their drinkware in your home already – but look further, and you’ll find platters, incense holders, even furniture across their website.
McMullin And Co
While known more for their furniture, McMullin and Co also creates stunning homewares that embody the brand’s minimalist energy to complement its larger interior items. Homewares like structural lamps, bowls with curves and floor mirrors that are art pieces in and of themselves.
Mud Australia
Formed in 1994, Mud Australia pioneered the trend of earthy, laid-back diningware. Crafted with porcelain clay sourced directly from Limoges, France, every piece is handmade in the brand’s Sydney studio and the business as a whole is carbon neutral.
Neighbourhood Studio
More an art gallery than a homewares website, each piece by Melbourne-based Neighbourhood Studio is essentially a limestone sculpture by founder Lucas Wearne, just with function. You’ll find vases, lighting and art for sale, each item both unique and an interior statement.
