Our interior designers debut at the Better Homes & Gardens LIVE Event

Themes, materials, colours and shapes are shared, used and reused for inspiration in two worlds; furniture and fashion. The fusion of these ‘two F’s” has become more evident in the profession of interior design, as the industry continues to embrace new movements and evolve with the times.  This progression of aesthetics has seen Deborah Grant, recent graduate from Sydney Design School, connect her career between the two industries.

Having worked as an editor in Sydney and London for  Fashion and Design magazines, including Marie Claire, ELLE, House Beautiful and InsideOut, Grant started to fall in love with aesthetic beauty, in all its forms,  and began to source her work from its presence.

“Being in the glossy magazine world gave me an eye for spotting new and different things. Injecting colour and life into a room with the latest accessories and artworks is very exciting to me”.

With a sophisticated contemporary style , this established business women and young mum is the perfect example of a professional multi-tasker. Her experience in the industry and her eye for all things creative was what landed her the opportunity to work with ConnectFurniture.com.au as an interior designer for the Better Homes and Gardens LIVE event.

As a major sponsor of the event, ConnectFurniture.com.au will feature  four rooms to be designed, accessorised and furnished by two of Sydney’s most inspirational designers. Opting to collate the  ‘living room’ and ‘children’s bedroom’ in the lifestyle zone, Deborah’s vision is sure to inject new ideas that will reach a critical mass of over 40,000 event attendees.

“The living space is modern with a hint of art deco glamour in some of the shapes and furnishings. Meanwhile, the young girl’s room is a vision of calming white with energising red and pink accents in stronger tones that are feminine but far from fluffy”.

The inclusion of furniture and fashion in these rooms suggest that while these two industries are polar opposites, they are also very much intertwined. Deborah will fuse these two worlds together as she showcases her interior design abilities in the lifestyle zone at the Better Homes and Gardens LIVE event.
