Most people don't struggle with design.

They struggle with where to go.

 Fitzroy and Collingwood have long been one of Melbourne's most concentrated pockets of creative energy- vintage stores, trade showrooms, galleries, fabric houses- all within walking distance of each other.

But knowing which ones to walk into? That takes time most people don't have. 

This edit removes the guesswork.

 

 WHAT THIS IS

A curated edit of 40+ trusted Fitzroy suppliers that designers, decorators and stylists actually use- selected through real projects, real sourcing, and real relationships.

Not a Google Maps list. Not an overwhelming directory.

Each supplier comes with studio notes on what they're known for, when to use them, and how they fit into a real scheme. The kind of context you'd only get if you knew someone already working in the industry. 

 INSIDE THE EDIT

 

The guide covers:

— Furniture, from contemporary showrooms to collectible vintage

— Soft furnishings, textiles and rugs

— Paint and wallpaper

— Art, objects and ceramics

— Lighting

— Outdoor

Every entry includes the supplier's address, website, price tier, trade access details and Design School Studio notes on how and when to use them.

Studio Truths

"The sofa is almost never the problem. The rug underneath it usually is."

-

"Lighting is not the finishing touch. It's the infrastructure."

-

"One genuinely old piece does more than ten new ones trying to look old."

 

 WHO IT'S FOR

This is for you if: 

— You're an interior designer or decorator building your sourcing knowledge

— You're a stylist who wants to know where the industry actually shops

— You're designing or renovating your own home and don't know where to start

Whether you're just beginning or already working on projects, this edit gives you a shortcut to the suppliers that resolve a space, and the context to use them well.
