Get Inspired by Eastside Design for Living

The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters has long been Adelaide’s number one destination for contemporary and vintage homewares, eye-catching local artworks and visionary design solutions. And now you can find the best offerings from all three categories in one place thanks to the recently launched Eastside Design for Living.

This glossy publication is the ultimate guide to the latest trends in interiors, homewares, furnishings and decoration across the council area and was recently launched by Mayor Robert Bria, who made the following comment.

“Boasting creative flair, exceptional service and a sharpened knowledge of market and design trends, Eastside Design for Living is not only visually appealing, it is a wealth of history and knowledge.” 

Furnishings

For almost half a century, Pfitzner Furniture has been expertly crafting and constructing timber tables, chairs and cabinetry by hand, with every piece built to last using traditional methods so that it can become a family heirloom that lasts for generations. Décor Lighting can help show off your house in the best light with a vast range of options for every situation, from pendants and downlights to lanterns, lamps and outdoor lighting in a variety of classic and contemporary styles.

If your walls are looking a little bare, the team of art consultants at Art Images Gallery can help you find the perfect pieces for purchase or rent, or give your favourite artworks a bit of TLC with canvas stretching and reframing services. And at Bang & Olufsen, they know that your home shouldn’t just look good – it should sound fantastic as well, which is why they craft world-class speakers that combine sleek Scandinavian design with cutting-edge sound quality. 

Homewares

Step through a beautifully preserved 100-year-old bluestone cottage and into Outdoors on Parade to discover a world of sophisticated homewares and gifts suitable for everything from a first birthday to a fiftieth anniversary, then put the stylish kitchenware to the test as Adelaide’s most acclaimed chefs share their kitchen hacks in a series of private cooking classes.

SE Waite & Son has been a fixture on The Parade for more than a century, and the fifth-generation family business has stood the test of time with a simple formula of friendly customer service and a collection of furniture, homewares and kitchenware that’s made to last. From cast iron fondue sets to designer tea towels and picnic sets, if it has to do with food then you can bet you’ll find it at Wheel & Barrow, where the enormous range is constantly refreshed to keep pace with the latest trends.

When it’s time to add an exotic flourish to your home, Empress Homewares & Gifts carries a variety of sumptuous Raj antiques, striking bone inlay furniture with dazzling geometric patterns and other unique finds sourced from across India and Australia. Unique jewellery, accessories and objets d’art from around the world are the order of the day at Bauhaus, where conspicuously colourful designs from Mexico to Morocco make it easy to find a gift for even the most discerning friend. 

Soft Furnishings

More than 50 years after the first store opened, Bed Bath N’ Table stays true to founder John Dempsey’s belief that “a happy home inspires great memories” with a broad selection of elegant but affordable homewares that take inspiration from across the globe while reflecting the modern Australian lifestyle. Impeccable customer service and Adelaide’s most extensive fabric library are the secret weapons at Mardaw Interiors, where the large showroom is packed with a range of cushions, rugs and throws that are manufactured onsite so that every single one is fully customisable.
