We also partner with art curators across many of our projects to ensure we have another expert across the vision. Often clients are really unsure of what they like, or we find ourselves navigating multiple views when it comes to art – so having another professional opinion in the mix is really helpful for both us and our clients to make the right decision.
Designbx’s Refresh package gives you access to an expert Interior Designer reviewing your home, existing furniture and architecture to curate multiple options that will enhance your room.

We are passionate about art here at Designbx and what it brings to a space. As part of your Refresh Package we can provide:

• A personally curated collection.
• Access to trade savings.
• Access to an array of artist’s and brands.
• Design a custom brief for a specific artist
• A streamlined process which includes sourcing, coordination and installation

We love art and love helping add those treasured items into homes across Australia.
How are your walls looking? White, bare, nothing works together, struggling to find art that works for everyone in the home. Let us take the guesswork out of your art selection headaches. For $199 per room your Room could go from plain Jane to the talk of the town…

1. Top tip for contemporary interior design

Search for a perfect artwork that’s oversized and bold.

2. Traits

Block colour, lineal lines, negative space, geometric shapes, high gloss melamine, high ceilings, wood (minimum grain and texture), bespoke or unique furniture. For art, you can consider contemporary style sculptures or place your art on a stand. 

Another key contemporary design trait to consider is the structural elements of your home. For example, exposed brick work or plumbing pipes work perfectly with the contemporary style as it adds a unique touch. 

Plants and flowers should be large and act as a focal point in a room.

Tom Dixon, Candle-Earth.

Similar to Scandinavian interior design and Minimalism interior design styles, the contemporary style embraces the ‘less is more’ concept yet is welcoming and comfortable.
