Fashion Meets Interior Design

A World Less Ordinary

Welcome to the world where fashion meets interiors. Two iconic English brands, Temperley London and Romo have collaborated to create a unique interiors collection. Alice Temperley joined forces with Emily Mould from the Romo Group to transform designs from her fashion archives into a fantastical collection of fabrics, wallcoverings, trims and cushions.

“With a mixture of techniques, rich patterns and textures, the designs capture a ‘British eccentricity’ which is unique to Temperley London.”
- Alice Temperley MBE

Here at Window Workshop we are all about the finer details. Trims are a wonderful way of adding colour and texture to your soft furnishings, whether it’s on curtains, upholstery or lampshades. Trimmings can elevate the designs by adding a layer of well thought out detail.

“I hope that people feel like they have a piece of treasure when they invest in designs from this beautiful collection.”
- Alice Temperley MBE

Last year we were honoured to have a private presentation in our showroom of the Temperley collection by Emily Mould. Emily is the Director of Design at Romo, a brand we have always been fond of due to their classic, contemporary and timeless designs. It was Emily’s first visit to Australia, and we all enjoyed getting to know her. She was particularly taken by Lucy and her performing tricks for our international guest!

Alice’s spectacular home in Somerset, England was the ideal space for the photoshoot. Full of history dating back to the 18th century, Cricket Court is an architectural beauty. The rooms were redecorated using the fabrics, wallcovering and accessories from the collection and transformed into a magical and eclectic wonderland.

Sink into a velvet sofa, relax into some feather filled cushions and hide under a cashmere throw rug. Then set the tone with some soft ambient lighting.

Designers Guild Open Day

Our last Designers Guild open day showcasing all the latest products from this iconic English brand was a huge success. There is quite a following for their bold & colourful fabrics, wallpapers and accessories. Client’s enjoyed exploring the products over a glass of champagne. We hope to do this again when their next inspiring collection is released later on this year.

One client that visited said “I found it both enriching and enjoyable and such a source of inspiration. Your store is beautiful, and it is clear so see that your trained eye for detail and colour is everywhere”.

We are seeing easy to live with hues of blush, nude, baby blue and light coral. Here we have paired some of these pastel colours with khaki and soft olive with which gives an earthy & more grounded feel.

Layer it with a textured rug, embroidered linen mirror, fringed cushions and staggered pendant lights. Shades of coriander, forest and mint sit well in this outdoor oasis mimicking the natural colours of the outdoors.

Our talented English fabric suppliers have turned some of their most popular designs into hand-tufted 100% wool floor rugs in a range of stunning colourways.

The ever-popular shades of blush have evolved into earthy tones of nude. The abstract painterly design on this screen makes for a striking backdrop and works well when paired with monochromatic black and white.
