Welcome to the very first edition of Handpicked by ART, a fresh new series where we ask our team to share their personal favourites from homewares and styling to coffee spots and local gems. At ART OF REAL ESTATE, we live and breathe homes, so it’s no surprise that our team has strong opinions when it comes to curating the perfect interior space. Whether you’re styling a home for sale, moving into a new property, or simply craving a fresh look at home, we’ve gathered some fun recommendations to inspire your next decor update.
Here’s what our team are loving right now when it comes to homewares and interior flair…
Karen Firth | Director
My ‘go-to’ would be East West Design possibly the biggest showroom in WA and an absolute treasure trove of international styles.
Karen never misses when it comes to unique design and she’s all about East West Design in Fremantle. This iconic warehouse is home to an incredible array of global-inspired decor, from rustic Indian cabinetry to African sculptures and Asian ceramics. It’s the sort of place you can get lost in for hours, discovering pieces that tell a story and bring a sense of character to your space. Think vibrant textiles, intricate carvings and one-of-a-kind vintage finds. For anyone who loves a curated, layered look Karen’s pick is a must-visit.
Chelsea | Sales Agent
My whole house is basically from GlobeWest – Roxby Lane in Nedlands is the only Perth stockist and I love anything in there!
If sleek, contemporary interiors are your style, then Chelsea’s favourite, GlobeWest, will be right up your alley. Known for its sophisticated, design-forward pieces, GlobeWest delivers everything from plush sofas to elegant dining sets and the best part is you can see it all at Roxby Lane in Nedlands. It’s a local design haven, filled with beautiful, tactile pieces in earthy tones and textural fabrics. Chelsea’s home is practically a GlobeWest catalogue and we can’t say we blame her!
Chloe Redmond | Marketing Manager
If I could have my whole house in Hommey, James Lane & Temple & Webster, I would.
Our marketing guru Chloe has a clear vision and it’s stylish, curated and oh-so-comfortable. From Hommey’s lush cushions and playful palettes, to James Lane’s affordable luxury feel, and Temple & Webster’s expansive range of everything you could possibly need for your home; Chloe has a finger on the pulse of modern living. Whether it’s soft furnishings, statement furniture or home office updates, her picks offer both style and substance without breaking the bank.
Noelia Stenvers | Property Manager
At the moment, Adairs for different things like towels, warm lovely blankets and some home decor – but I’m a huge fan of vintage things too, so rummaging through vintage shops is a big hit with me.
Noelia is our go-to for comfort meets charm. She’s loving Adairs for its seasonal updates – think plush throws, fluffy towels and cosy textures that bring warmth into every room. But her true love? A good vintage treasure hunt. Whether it’s quirky ceramics, retro furniture or timeless decor with a past life, Noelia enjoys mixing the old with the new for a layered, lived-in aesthetic that feels authentic and uniquely personal.
Gaynor Head | Sales Administration
Joseph Joseph online – great quality stuff. My best buy is an ironing board with a hanger that keeps it off the floor and a caddy for the iron and spray bottle. Love it! I also really like their sliding tray boxes for under the sink.
Gaynor brings a practical edge to the homewares conversation – and we absolutely love her for it. Her top recommendation is Joseph Joseph, an online haven for smart, functional design. This brand is all about making everyday life more organised and efficient, without compromising on aesthetics. From cleverly designed kitchen storage to space-saving laundry solutions, it’s the kind of brand that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
Jac Fear | Director
Freedom homewares…
Jac is all about approachable, everyday style and Freedom is his go-to. With a wide range of affordable yet timeless pieces, Freedom is a great option for those wanting to create a cohesive, modern look without the hassle. Whether you’re refreshing a rental or styling to sell, Jac’s pick hits that perfect balance between comfort and style.
Liam | Operations Manager
Following Jac’s lead, Liam’s top picks are Freedom and the always-reliable IKEA. With Freedom offering relaxed elegance and IKEA nailing the practicality-plus-style game, Liam’s home is no doubt a well-balanced space. From clever shelving to statement lighting and everything in between, his combo covers all bases – ideal for first-home buyers or anyone furnishing with functionality in mind.
