BEHIND THE BRAND

VANESSA RADFORD

Crafting a beautiful room is more than collecting mere objects. It’s looking at ways to make  joy manifest; helping to create homes to linger in and environments to inspire. A way to make a house a home - a place that truly reflects and embodies those who love and live there. 

Vanessa has always adored texture, colour and light. The mother of three and merino and broadacre producer is drawn to the way a gorgeous pillow or a splash of bold colour can spark joy and lift a space. While riding the farming rollercoaster - droughts, floods and pandemics alike - her creativity offers her both solace and nourishment.

TEXTILE DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

FEMKE TEXTILES

Femke Textiles is the handiwork of Melbourne based designer Simone Deckers, and was established in 2014 on completion of her training at RMIT. 

Simone's designs begin as hand drawn sketches and end up on large screens that are hand-pulled at her River Studios in West Melbourne.

Femke Textiles draw inspiration from the Australian bush and its diversity of colour, texture and shapes. Simone has many fond memories of bushwalking and camping trips with her family and the love for the Australian bush and flora was born there.

I absolutely LOVE my new lamp - thanks so much LightenUp Handmade for finishing off my space! And all the more special seeing where it came from and the journey it’s taken to get from the beautiful outback to inner city Melbourne!

Thank you LightenUp Handmade, just love what you do out in rural Australia, inspiring us all to fill our homes with colour and stunning fabrics! It was great to do business with you and your customer service and follow up to queries was fabulous. To receive the finished lampshade by post all beautifully packaged was so exciting!

My beautiful lamp shade arrived last week and we are very happy with it. Your web site is amazing and choosing a fabric and having the shade made was both easy and enjoyable.
